Wearing high heels every day is a fashion choice that can, over time, lead to back pain. In particular, when the heel height exceeds 6 cm, the angle of the foot becomes too steep: body weight is no longer distributed properly, the feet no longer stand firmly on the ground, and tension gradually builds up in the back.

Healthcare professionals recommend limiting heel height to 6 cm for everyday use. Beyond that, even with orthotic insoles, the imbalance persists: the foot slides forward in the shoe, causing misalignment in the knees, pelvis, and back.

To maintain good posture while continuing to wear heels, it is recommended that you:

• Square or wide heels, which are more stable than thin heels.
• Well-fitting shoes that provide proper support for the foot.

Higher heels can be saved for special occasions, when they’re worn for shorter periods of time.

The solution: custom orthotic insoles

Today, pharmacists with degrees in orthopedics offer customized solutions to help patients suffering from pain caused by wearing ill-fitting shoes. Using the Vistapod platform, they can design custom insoles that:

• correct the faulty support points,
• keep the foot secure in the shoe,
• improve overall posture and relieve back pain.

After the analysis, the insoles are manufactured in France at a specialized workshop and delivered to the pharmacy, along with a podiatry report, within 72 hours.

How can I get them?

All you need to do is visit a pharmacist who has the Vistapod device. They can perform a comprehensive assessment and recommend a personalized solution that allows you to continue wearing heels while taking care of your back.

Ask your pharmacist for advice: they can help you choose the right insoles for your shoes and your daily routine.
