Men love them and women can feel sexy and powerful wearing them. But there’s now an even better reason to slip on your high heeled shoes, as experts claim that high heels can have health benefits too!

It used to be said that wearing high heels or stilettos could damage your feet, but there’s recently been a bit of a u-turn in beliefs. In fact, podiatrists are saying they’re now seeing more foot injuries in women who wear flat shoes a lot, like ballet pumps and flip flops. Although flat shoes can sometimes be more comfortable, they can also lead to problems such as foot pain, bunions, back ache and shin pain, especially if worn on a very regular basis.

Of course, wearing stilettos all the time can cause problems too, but there are apparently benefits of wearing one inch heels – not least for your sex life! Shoes with heels are said be kinder on your Achilles, can help ease the discomfort in your hamstrings and be better for your posture. Plus, Italian researchers claim women who wear heels may have more fun within the sheets!

If you’re dressing up for a seductive evening, or want to spice up your sex life, then high heels are a great look to go for. They can help make your legs look longer and more elegant, give shorter women a bit more height and look great with stockings and suspenders.

High heeled shoes needn’t be something you just wear out for an evening either – why not wear them when you’re having sex, too? Even if it’s something you’ve never tried before (and even if it feels odd to keep your heels on whilst in or on the bed), wearing heels can make women feel sexier and powerful. They add a bit of extra excitement to proceedings and you can also be assured that men love women in sexy high heels - it can certainly heat up the action in the bedroom.

What better excuse is there to go shopping for and get wearing those killer high heels!
