The Painful Flat Shoe

After a long working day of 8 hours (or more), with hardly any chance to sit down, one may believe a flat pump is the right survival shoe. However, most of us end up with painful ankles and excruciatingly sore feet. Apparently, extremely flat shoes end up straining the Achilles tendon, and also our calf muscles.

Flat shoes, although ever so trendy, absorb no shocks, providing hardly any heel support. However this is no shocking news, for when the trend originally emerged experts were already telling us to beware our passion for such shoes.

The key to the problem? Mix and match, alternate heels, shapes and styles.
