For the footwear fashionista who has worn heels for most of her life, the thought of switching to flat sandals. Although there are some truly beautiful flats around this season - among them the grungy gladiator sandals - the fact is that for many women wearing flat sandals for even for just a couple of minutes is enough to send sharp pains shooting up his legs. While it is tempting to see this as reason enough to steer clear of sandals, searing pain in reality this is your best reason to get those feet in a pair of flats quick smart.

The problem with high heels is that they contort your body into an unnatural shape by thrusting your pelvis forward and crippling your back. When you walk in this strange posture your boobs and bottom are forced to jut out at all sorts of angles which can feel all sexy until you start to experience the long-term effects of these orthopedic nightmares, which can include chronic back pain and intervertebral disc damage. Although you might get used to walking in heels - so much so that anything else feels unnatural - the truth is that if you find it difficult to walk without being contorted this way, then chances are you're at risk of serious damage down the track .

Just take a look at your favorite heels, ballet flats or even your sneakers and you'll notice that the shape of the shoe's toe area comes to a point. Now take a look at your feet. Spot the difference? When given ample space our toes naturally sit in an arc formation so that our feet are much wider than at the toes and the heel. Despite this, most fashion shoes get narrower and the toes and crunch them together, which can lead to painful and crooked big toes (not to mention unsightly) bunions. The pressure on those poor little toes is made all the worse when they are jammed into high heels which transfer the weight of the body from the sturdy heel bone (which has a strong layer of protective tissue) to the delicate bones at the front of the feet.

For those considering heel devotees coming down to earth this summer, a pair of flat sandals is a great option. Not only does the footbed on these orthopaedically designed sandals allow your toes plenty of room to spread out, it is made from a mix of cork and latex that actually heats up and molds to your foot which makes them perfect for accommodating any bunions and bung toes . This unique mix of materials is also very good at absorbing the shock of walking on hard surfaces like pavements and wooden floors - an absolute godsend for all those tiny bones at the front of the foot that were forced to bear up to 50 percent of your bodyweight whenever you stepped out in heels.
