The heels also give many women pain in their legs when they take them off and walk. The researchers tested different women aged between 20 and 50 who wore heels that were 5cm or higher. The research also looked at women who never wore high heels. The research team used ultrasound to measure the length of the fibers in the calf muscles. Their results showed that the muscle fibers of highheel wearers were 13 percent shorter than those in the non-high-heelwearing women. The researchers also found that women who regularly wore high heels suffered more muscle aches and pains when they took their shoes off. This is because their muscles are being overstretched for long periods and do not have time to relax. Women are advised to do simple stretching exercises to relieve the pain. Researchers are not suggesting that women should stop wearing high heels, but they are recommending wearing flat shoes a little more often. "Fashion is intended to be uncomfortable and none of the women in the study planned to give up their high heels," said one researcher. 1
