Radfems: wearing heels for an extended period of time destroys muscle tissue so you’ll never be able to wear flat shoes again
I mean you’re exaggerating a bit but high heels do cause muscle problems.

High heels do cause the muscles to atrophy, so when women wear flats after yars of extended heels wearing it can be painful. The most famous exaple of this was in Victoria Beckham.
The OP is embarrassing because it’s literally… true.
OP, my mother literally used to work with someone who COULD NOT WALK BAREFOOT AND WORE CUSTOM HIGH HEELED SLIPPERS IN HER HOME from wearing high heels for so long
the only response i have is that it’s the achilles tendon that shrinks not the muscles. muscles are made to stretch and can be built up from atrophy. the achilles tendon can also stretch but not as easily which is what leads to long term pain.
i’m not saying high heels are completely harmless. i’m saying some of yall don’t know what the fuck yall are talking about
you’re just incorrect though
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20639419
“We conclude that long-term use of high-heeled shoes induces shortening of the GM muscle fascicles and increases AT stiffness, reducing the ankle’s active range of motion.”
Radfems: something correct
Radfems: also something correct
As someone who can’t walk normally for extended periods of time because I wore heels constantly as I was developing, fuck you OP
I do that. I’ve noticed that I walk on my tiptoes a lot, or when I’m standing I’ll go up on tiptoe or en pointe as best I can …
And I wore, and wear, high heels almost exclusively and have since I was probably 12.
They’re absolutely related.
