In modern times Women and men alike fall into the fashion trap . People now a days are more concerned about the way something looks rather than the way it feels. But its important to select footwear before one buys. Poor footwear can cause knee pain , back pain and bad posture problems. There are different types of heels available in the market like

Pencil heels - Thin and pointed
Block heels - Big and chunky

Spike heels - Thin and pointed and high
Ballerina heel - point ballet with extremely high heel
French heel - Short, dancing
Chopines - High, two heels
Cork - Made of cork usually
