The Doctors' Verdict
On High Heels

WOMEN'S shoes with heels up to two and a half inches
high are only a little more tiring to wear than flat- heeled shoes.
Using an electrical recording machine, Dr Jaak Joseph and scientist Alfred Nightingale have measured the muscle activity in the legs of 2 young women wearing shoes with heels of different heights at Guy's Hospitul. And this is the verdict.
