Dancing in High Heels

PAGE IN PROGRESS
What you see here is a page of my hypertext book POWER of meanings // MEANINGS of power. Initially empty, this page will slowly be filled with thoughts, notes, and quotes. One day, I will use them to write a coherent entry, similar to these completed pages. See this post to better understand my creative process. Thank you for your interest and patience! 
On wearing high heels, my friend: « I was feeling confident [in them]. but I should a of wearing them when I need to walk long distance »

Some articles about the harm of high heels:
https://osteopathic.org/what-is-osteopathic-medicine/the-real-harm-in-high-heels/
​"You can help prevent injuries and pain from high heels by regularly stretching the plantar fascia and calves."

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/09/100916111658.htm
"The shift of the high-pressure region from heel to forefoot when dancing in high-heels can lead to discomfort of the foot and a condition known as plantar fasciitis after prolonged periods of dancing."

https://www.bannerhealth.com/healthcareblog/advise-me/high-heel-horrors#:~:text=If%20you%20wear%20high%20heels,Jensen%20said.
"Some people prefer fashion over function when it comes to heels. But wearing these high heeled numbers can do a number on your toes, feet, ankles and body leading to a host of injuries."
