Shoes with a Slight Heel Help Support the Back:
MD Podiatrist
Wearing high heels is an obvious cause of lower back pain, but experts say that even “sensible shoes” may not support your feet properly. The trick is to find shoes that work with YOUR body, just as a prescription that works for one person may not benefit another.
Daniel Michaels, DPM, a doctor of podiatric medicine, recommends wearing shoes with a slight heel to support your back. Always buy shoes that are comfortable and not too tight or too loose, says Dr. Michaels.
