A Change in Attitude Toward the High Heel

Lower heels now popular

A recent survey by the American Podiatric Association and Dr. Scholl's found a changing attitude among women toward the wearing of high heels. Only a quarter of women wear high heels to work. Almost half of all women don't wear high heels on a daily basis anymore. In addition, half of women 18 to 24 consider a one inch heel "high." (Smith Brinson, Claudia, "Women say bye to high heels, hello to happy feet," Albuquerque Journal, Sept. 7, 1996, p. B5)
