Could high heels lead to pronation or supination of the feet?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
A high heel : Lifts the heel. There are different components of pronation and supination. Adduction, plantarflexion, inversion are components of supination. The foot is plantarflexed when in a heel. Personally, i don't know if i would consider the foot supinated though.

High heels: Your intrinsic biomechanics have a lot to do with this. The high heels will/can exacerbate what you already have . See your podiatrist for assistance as we cannot see your feet nor evaluate the structure on this forum .
