Does walking in heels burn more calories?

My wife believes so. Lucky me.

It gives your calves a nice workout.

It actually shortens your soleus and gastrocnemius muscle and contributes to a higher incidence of leg cramps. The shortness in your soleus could also cause more severe injury to your achilles tendon if you happen to step wrong in said heels.

A low heel is good for posture, especially if you have low back problems, but in terms of work out benefits, there are a lot of injury risks associated with them, and I do my best to avoid them, no matter how hot they make my butt look.

Yes, but it is probably about the same as the difference between eating while standing and eating while sitting. Personally, I think you're better off not sweating the small stuff and look more at exercise.

Ya? So you walk around in heels?

I live in Texas. Of course I do.

Bam! You win!
