Comfortable well fitted shoes should have
- A.
Low heels
- B.
Chunky heels
- C.
Narrow heels
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Low heelsExplanation
Comfortable well-fitted shoes should have low heels because high heels can cause discomfort and pain. Low heels provide better stability and support, reducing the strain on the feet and ankles. They distribute the body weight more evenly and promote proper alignment, which is essential for comfort. Chunky heels may offer some stability but can still put pressure on certain areas of the feet. Narrow heels can be unstable and increase the risk of tripping or twisting the ankle. Therefore, low heels are the most suitable option for comfortable, well-fitted shoes.Rate this question:
