High-heeled shoes do not cause bunions,study finds

High-heeled shoes are known to shorten calf muscles, cause pain, and even trigger migraines, but according to new research, they won’t lead to bunions. For that, you can thank your parents.
The study, led Dr. Marian Hannan from Hebrew SeniorLife and Harvard Medical School in Boston, included 1,370 participants enrolled in the Framingham Foot Study. Participants had a mean age of 66 years and 57 percent were female.
The research showed bunions are “highly inheritable,” meaning your favorite stilettos are off the hook. But if you have preexisting bunions, your high-heel habit won’t help, the researchers noted.
Bunions affect 23 percent of individuals 18 to 65 years of age and 36 percent of those over 65 years according to prior research.
