I couldn't resist this picture.

You all know the problem. Yes, we all love the heels. Me including - at least, the whole look that goes with it.

I dedicate this post to Chloe McLeod, Katherine Gordon & Sarah Thamin. That's their feet at our Xmas party. These already tall women decided to make those of us vertically-challenged all feel even shorter.

This Xray gives you an idea what the bones are experiencing in high heels.

Poor, poor bones!

If you wear heels repeatedly over a few decades, what do you think you're doing to bones and joints?

I'm sure this won't stop the trio and the odd occasion should be OK. There's always a place for suffering in the quest to look good.

Thanks to Dr Suleman Bhana (@simba37) for highlighting this great pic.
