Higher-heeled shoes such as stilettos can cause the foot to slip forward resulting in discomfort, blisters and possible toe injuries.
Adding as a doctors advice is, "Flat or low-heeled shoes are a better option to reduce the pain of neuromas, bunions and hammertoes. It's best if they have a substantial amount of cushioning on the outer sole and the insole."
A quick great tip is, "If the shoe doesn't fit, don't wear it. Don't force your feet to conform to the shape of a shoe."
Therefore, in this case fashion and comfort co-exist, much to the happiness of both men and women.
