 Effects of Shoe Heel Height on Biologic Rollover | February 2005 | John Michael's Corner - oandp.com
In particular, the radius and forward shift of the rollover shapes did not change significantly with moderate changes in heel height, although the distance from the ankle marker to the floor increased with higher heels, reflecting the greater distance between the ankle and sole of the shoe.
The authors speculate that this could indicate a limit in the biological ability to accommodate marked plantar flexion at the ankle, noting that this heel height was associated with an increased energy cost in earlier research.
Hansen et al conclude by noting the limitations of this study, primarily due to small sample size and the limited scope of heel types tested [e.g., no stilettos, which presumable are less stable in the coronal plane].

 Do You Have High Heel Feet?
Sure, spindly, sexy heels are always in style, but wearing them day after day can result in a painful condition known as "high heel feet." According to New York podiatrist Oliver Zong, MD, the high heel foot is one that has begun to take the shape of a high heel shoe.
"High heels can cause bunions, where the big toe points toward the little toes; bunionettes, or bunions on the pinky toe; and hammertoes, which are crooked and don't lie flat," explains Dr. Zong.
Your shoe size can change, so it's wise to have your feet measured every time you shop for shoes.
