There seems, no, change that, there IS a general concensus that High Heels are bad for your feet, body, back and just about everything else, including your newly laid wooden floor!  I have been reading loads of books on the subject, and also trawled a few web sites, and it's interesting to see that some people actually maintain that heels can be good for you. That's the first time I've heard that one.

What I hope to do here, is put together a list of articles listing the positive side and the negative side of the arguments, so that you can make your own decision as to what you believe. Personally, I think they are probably bad, but I am still selfish enough to hope that women continue to wear them. Maybe not every day, but at least on special occasions.

On the bad side, here is an article that I've taken from the BBC Web site, so it is their copyright.

On the good side, the following is taken from a UK newspaper. It shows an interesting insight into how a woman takes to heels...

More to follow, or at least as and when I find stuff, I'll add it here.

Here's one I found in the Daily Mail a couple of weeks ago.
