“…The corset, which caused Victorian women to faint from restricted airflow (Boston Globe, 1893), has made a recent comeback for women (Bateman, 2020), along with other restrictive clothing and shapewear meant to slim, while defining and enhancing curves. Wearing high‐heeled shoes similarly is associated with long term damage to the feet (e.g., Zeidan et al., 2020), in addition to pain. Recently, tattooed makeup (another painful procedure) has become a popular aesthetic practice, despite risks of infection and lesions (U.S. Food & Drug Administration, 2020; Vagefi et al., 2006).…”

Self‐objectification, the internalization of an observer’s appearance‐based perspective of one’s body, has been theorized and demonstrated to reduce body awareness among women. In this field study, we propose self‐objectification as the mechanism to explain the oft‐observed phenomenon where women wearing little clothing appear unbothered by cold weather, positing that self‐objectification obstructs women’s feelings of cold. We surveyed women outside nightclubs on cold nights, assessed self‐objectification, and asked participants to report how cold they felt. Anonymous photos were taken and coded for amount of skin exposure. We hypothesized that self‐objectification would moderate the relationship between clothing coverage and reports of feeling cold. Our hypothesis was supported: women low in self‐objectification showed a positive, intuitive, relationship between skin exposure and perceptions of coldness, but women more highly focused on their appearance did not feel colder when wearing less clothing. These findings offer support for the relationship between self‐objectification and awareness of bodily sensations in the context of a naturalistic setting. We discuss implications of these findings, and also consider limitations, an alternative explanation, and directions for future research.

“…25.9% (n=99) of participants aged 26-30 years. 16 Table-4 is categorized according to the cross-tabulation between pain and shoe heel height, 199 of the women affected with moderate pain who had worn heels greater than one inch, 50 women had mild pain, and 47 women had severe pain due to heel height of their shoe more than one inch. Fifty-six women had experienced moderate pain, 17 women had mild pain, and 13 women had pain due to shoe heel height less than or equal to one inch.…”

“…Foot pain is widespread nowadays in our society, and the leading factors are shoe heel height and an individual's weight. A study conducted in 2020 by Zeidan concluded that wearing high-heeled shoes leads to increased pressure on the metatarsal head and causes pressure on various tissues of the foot 16 . Similarly, the result of this study also shows that wearing high heels caused foot pain among working females and the majority of women in this study pointed to heels as the most common site of pain.…”

Background: Although foot pain in working women is an ongoing problem and may be related to footwear, the prevalence of foot pain in young females is still scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to discover the common cause of foot pain and its possible associated factors (body mass index and shoe heel height) in young working women in an urban setting in Karachi, Pakistan. Methods: The survey was conducted on a group of working women aged between 21 and 40 who were selected using non-probability convenience sampling. Data on foot problems was collected through an investigator-directed questionnaire using adapted foot questionnaires. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: A total no. of 382 women between the ages of 21 and 40 who worked in various Karachi, Pakistan organizations were included in the study. The study revealed that the majority of these women (n=255) experienced moderate pain, most had average body mass indices (N=192), and most had previously worn shoes with heels higher than one inch (n=199). The prevalence of mild foot pain was 17.53%, moderate foot pain 66.75% and severe foot pain 15.7%. Conclusion: Non-traumatic foot pain is joint among young working women, likely due to high-heeled shoes, prolonged working hours, and the standing nature of jobs.

Objective To evaluate the effect of minimally invasive ultrasound-guided fascial release and a foot orthoses with first metatarsal head cut-out on the biomechanics of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot in cadaveric specimens. Design A cross-sectional study was designed (20 body-donors). Anthropometric measurements of the foot, foot posture index and the windlass test and force were measured in different conditions: unloaded, loaded position, with foot orthoses, after a 25% plantar fascia release and after a 50% release. Results For the anthropometric measurements of the foot, differences were found in foot length (p = 0.009), arch height (p < 0.001) and midfoot width (p = 0.019) when comparing the unloaded vs foot orthoses condition. When foot orthoses were compared with 25% plantar fascial release, differences were found in foot length (p = 0.014) and arch height (p < 0.001). In the comparation with 50% plantar fascial release, differences were found in the arch height (p < 0.001). A significant interaction between foot orthoses condition and grades was found in the arch height during the windlass test (p = 0.021). Conclusion The results indicate that the presence of foot orthoses leads to a significant increase in arch height compared to other conditions. Furthermore, when plantar fascia release is performed, the arch does not exhibit any signs of collapse.
