Research Reveals How Physics Keeps Women in High Heels from Tipping Over

The answer to how ramp models manage to walk in 10-inch heels without tipping over lies in physics.

Safe stilettos seems fairly straightforward: Two parts sacrifice and a dash of solid steel, said Fred Allard, creative director for Nine West, one of the world's largest manufacturers of women's shoes, reports Fox News.

About Cancer in Women
Cancer is one of the frequently talked about and most feared disease that falls under the genre of lifestyle diseases that have evolved, rather rapidly, in the past two decades.

It turns out, there's a formula to avoid tripping in heels: In 2004, researchers at the University of Surrey devised an equation that uses shoe size, the Pythagorean theorem, and several sociological variables to calculate how high heels can safely go.

Variables in the equation include aesthetic appeal of the shoe, experience in wearing high heels, how many months the shoe has been in style, and even the amount of alcohol consumed.

The cost of the shoe plays a factor too, said Dr. Paul Stevenson of the University of Surrey, who developed the equation.

Hair Replacement for Women
There are more hair replacement options for women today than there have ever been in history: medical hair replacement with drugs, hair replacement surgery, and artificial hair replacement with hair systems.

In most cases, five inches seems to be the max, though Allard said Nine West puts no limit on the height of a heel.

But wearing heels comes at a cost. They demand sacrifice: Sacrifice in comfort. Sacrifice in practicality. Sacrifice in stability. Sacrifice in mobility. And in some cases, sacrifice in health, including knee, hip, feet, and back injury, as documented by WebMD.

XY Females – Women or Men - Intersex -True Picture
Intersex defines people who do not fit the typical definitions for male or female bodies. The ambiguity regarding their sex can either manifest internally or externally.

As for the health risks, the weight of a woman's body is almost entirely focused on a heel the size of a pencil eraser, which creates immense pressure for such a small area. Much more, in fact, than a 6,000-pound elephant-which explains why elephants can walk on grass but women in spike heels can't without sinking into the ground.

That said, heels can also have a positive effect on well-being.

Hair Loss in Women
Hair loss or Alopecia can be emotionally devastating to women but understanding reasons behind hair loss can help in prevention and treatment of hair loss.

"They have a way of making me feel better about myself," said Dani Gooch, a high-heeled mother of two.

"In that sense, I feel more confident in them than I do in other shoes."
