A member asked:

Can wearing heels tone your lower body at all ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, not really.: Wearing heels may cause your calf muscles to stay contracted, so they look like you're flexing them all the time. But the rest of the lower body won't improve. And wearing heels for long periods of time can result in foot pain and soreness.
