British Women Wear The High Heels in Europe

According to a survey by foot care brand Compeed, British women wear the highest heels in Europe. Off course, stylish-stars like Victoria Beckham, Emma Watson and Sienna Miller always go for the highest styles, but the average heel height in the UK is 3.3 inches. Not far behind, Spanish women closely follow the British footsteps with an average of 3.2 inch heel, while Denmark has an average of 3 inches, Germany 2.7 inches and France rounds up the top five with 2.4 inches.

The European survey, by the makers of Compeed polled 3,792 women from 5 countries (France, Germany, Spain, Denmark and polled 1,000 from the UK alone) and may suggest that the shorter the woman, the higher the heel, because British women are among the shortest in Europe with an average height of 163cm while German women are the tallest in Europe at 168cm and younger Spanish women are just one centimeter taller than British women. But in the end it is all about being the most stylish, because there is nothing more glamorous and elegant that a good pair of high heels, and the higher the better as the real fashion-die-hard fans like Lady Gaga know.

"Research has suggested that a tall woman is considered more assertive, confident, richer, capable, successful, independent and even more intelligent than her shorter peers," psychologist  Emma Kenny told the Daily Express. "Perception is incredibly powerful and it makes sense that the feedback we receive from the way we are treated by others will reinforce our choices. The British woman is an ambitious breed, and if putting on a pair of six-inch heels increases her career prospects, rightly or wrongly, the savvy individual will do so."

Sandra Chatelain, spokesperson for Compeed says "The research shows that heel height for many comes at a price, with 65% of UK women citing blisters as a significant source of pain resulting from wearing high heels. Despite this, 1 in 2 women (50%) are prepared to endure a level of pain they ranked as comparable with toothache and earache. We at Compeed know that ladies love to wear high heels and as long as we take appropriate measures to protect our feet, British women should continue to be unstoppable, keep calm and carry on".

Lorraine Jones, member of the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists says "As a podiatrist I recognize that with fashion as it is, wearing foot-friendly shoes is not always easy. However, wearing fashionable shoes occasionally is fine, and here are plenty of easy foot care treatments available at the local pharmacy that can help treat feet at home and avoid a trip to the podiatrist's clinic. The bonus is that with healthy feet, a woman can stand as tall as she wants in the highest of heels".

Statement shoes are the ultimate reflection of wicked-ravishing-style, and the flashier and taller the better. So, what a better way to be remembered? Way to go Britain.

Guide To Walking in High heels Without Pain

Women love to wear it without taking serious about his pain.. 

Here is a guide to walking in high heels without fell the pain..

The difference between sultry stilettos and frumpy pumps is three-fourths of an inch, or so says Victor Chu, a former shoe designer who has developed a cottage industry for himself - and perhaps increased the libidos of thousands of men - by training women to walk properly and painlessly in high heels.

Chu says high heels and happy feet are not an oxymoron, if only women hold themselves correctly while walking. Last week, he flew in from New York, bringing his prowess to Azalea boutique on Hayes Street to give free lessons in the art of seductive walking - just in time for holiday parties, when even the most practical among us can be tempted by a sparkly sling-back or metallic mule.

"Unsexy shoes are anything under 2.75 inches," Chu said. "A 2-inch heel is a little dowdy. Too classical."

Plenty of people could benefit from lessons - everyone from the fictional Carrie Bradshaw, who took a famously embarrassing catwalk spill in TV's "Sex and the City" to the real-life runway models for Pucci, Prada and Dolce & Gabbana who fell during Milan Fashion Week earlier this year, and even Miss U.S.A., Crystal Stewart, who took a tumble at the Miss Universe pageant in July - as did her predecessor in 2007. (The YouTube clip has been viewed nearly 3 million times.)

Chu may not have walked a mile in another woman's Manolos, but his experience designing sport and dress shoes as a consultant for the Tommy Hilfiger label from 2000 to 2004 gave him a different kind of perspective. He decided he had a calling to share his know-how while chatting with a colleague, Cece Chin, who has her own line called 80 20 shoes. As they sat on a park bench in New York, the conversation turned to wondering why every woman they knew had a problem walking in high heels.

"There's only so much you can do to a shoe's heel to make it comfortable, before you make it unsexy," Chu recalled saying. "Then we said, 'Wait! How do the Rockettes do it?' "

It turned out that a friend of theirs danced for the Rockettes. She told them the key to wearing high heels is in walking mechanics.

The Three Keys To Wearing Very High Heels Successfully Are

Standing up straight, as if you were pulling a string from the top of your head

Keeping your abdominal muscles taut by sucking your belly button in toward your spine, which pulls your body weight back onto your heels

Walking heel to toe with a slightly exaggerated hip sway, rather than mincing around on the ball of the foot.

Heels Not Needed at Gym

That's not to say that it's a good idea to exercise in high heels. Chu recommends against it, even though there are Crunch gyms in New York that began offering "Stiletto Strength" classes in 2006, and other gyms that offer classes in jazz, burlesque and pole dancing to women wearing high heels. Stiletto sprint footraces have even occurred in Australia and New York in recent years.

There's no pain when we wear a high heels today..
