A member asked:

Can wearing heels lead to over-pronation/supination?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wearing heels : Can cause a contracted achilles' tendon or equinis condition. The heels wearing is placing the foot in an abnormal sagital plane. Inv/eve, and varus/valgus positions do not come into play as much as the sagital plane.
