Variable...: This depends on a number of things. First, the fracture should be healed so that you can bear weight through the injured extremity without pain. The second thing is high heels place greater demands upon the foot and leg musculature. You may feel increased pain in your thigh muscles with high heels. It may take an extended period of time to recondition your muscles to wear fashionable footwear.
