O'Neill pointed out that connecting the Achilles tendon to the lower leg and the bones of the foot, wearing high heels will make the heel off the ground, and the Achilles tendon will be in a state of tension for a long time. Over time, the Achilles tendon becomes tight and the feet feel pain when they are straight. Heeled valgus is also commonly caused by wearing high heels, causing inflammation of the big toe joints.
