Women wear high- heels shoes and thin sole shoes; some women and shoes designers argue that will have no impact on skeletal system future health. What are your thoughts? Would this affect the skeletal system ? Support your argument with reference(s)

Step 1
Wearing high heels can alter the alignment of the spine, leading to issues such as lower back pain and poor posture. Additionally, the pressure placed on the balls of the feet can cause issues such as bunions, hammertoes, and plantar fasciitis. Thin sole shoes Show more…

Does wearing shoes that fit properly help prevent sprains or strains? YES or NO?
Hunza G.
As a woman walks, her entire weight is momentarily placed on one heel of her high-heeled shoes. Calculate the pressure exerted on the floor by the heel if it has an area of 1.41 cm2 and the woman's mass is 64.0 kg. Express the pressure in pascals. (In the early days of commercial flight, women were not allowed to wear high-heeled shoes because aircraft floors were too thin to withstand such large pressures.)

As a woman walks, her entire weight is momentarily placed on one heel of her high-heeled shoes. This creates quite a large pressure on the ground; in fact, in the early days of commercial flight, women were not allowed to wear high-heeled shoes because aircraft floors were too thin to withstand such large pressures. Calculate the pressure, in pounds per square inch, exerted on the floor by the heel if it has an area of 1.45 cm^2 and the woman's mass is 51.5 kg.
