I do take issue with the fact that it says the reason why heels can cause injury is that they put all of the body's weight on the ball of the foot, most people do that when they are running anyway (at least when running short distances, long distance runners do things a bit differently), not to mention that while walking in heels I know I put pressure on my heels as well as the balls of my feet. The issue with heels is actually that your foot is held in a firm position that doesn't allow your foot to flex properly, a more flexible sole on a less substantial heel (even something like 5 inches) wouldn't cause the same problems. I still have issues with the fact that so many super ladies (good, bad, or somewhere in between) run around in sky-high heels, but not all heels are completely awful.
