• It supports the arch of the foot. It unlocks the knee and weakly flexes which strengthen the lose leg muscles and help in toning the legs. High heels improves circulation in your legs which can reduce swelling and the accumulation of fluids, especially in the ankles. It forces you to engage your leg muscles which stimulates the leg veins. This increases the supply of fluids and blood circulation to the heart.

• High heeled shoes tuck the pelvis in order to counteract with the affects of the forward lean on your spine. This can help to strengthen your abdominal muscles as well as the pelvic muscles. A nice alternative to kegel exercises.
