Nothing takes a girl down like a killer pair of seven inch stilettos.
A new study by the University of Alabama at Birmingham published in The Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery has revealed that heel-related injuries have DOUBLED in the last 10 years.
No wonder flats have started getting a really good rep since 2012. Epic fall just doesn’t go with shiny new outfit. Not even Naomi Campbell can style it out.
The research revealed that the number of women who reported heel-related injuries in 2002 across the U.S was 7,097 and had reached 14,140 in 2014. The figure was a whopping 19,058 in 2011.
Ouch.
Not only were injuries most seen in women aged between 20 and 39, but findings also revealed that almost half of injuries happened at home.
