when wearing high heels how much pressure is put on the body?

high heels
danni.b asked:


Could someone please help me on trying to find how much pressure is put on the foot when wearing high heels. I’ve hypothesised that the taller the heel-the bigger the angle-the worse the pressure.

So if anyone could help me workout, give me some suggestions-ANY FORMULAS??-that would be great!

    pressure on the foot is the reaction from ground you are standing on, you are right if the angle of distribution bigger then the stresses are distributed at a larger area, but not necessarily the taller the heel the bigger the angle, if the heel is thin and tall the load will be concentrated at a small area and high pressure , but if the heel long but wide then the load can be distributed because the angle of distribution gets bigger
