Might be a weird question, but do you burn more calories when you wear heels?

    IDK if you burn more calories... but I would think you'd be toning. You have to balance your weight & stand a certian way in heels... :smile:

    careful to stretch after a long time in heels though - I read something a while ago about women that spend a long time in heels having a shorter average calf muscle length

    wonder how short victoria beckham's calves are now!

    It's so weird that you mentioned that. I have worn heels to work every day for four years and my calves always feel tight. When I started jogging and running, they would cramp up. Now I know why... Operation stretch is go!

    I am rolling in the floor.....so funny! I guess I'm one step closer to smaller boobs!

    I know that my legs HURT after wearing heels all evening, so I think toning makes sense!

    I hope so.

    My calves look good and my backyard is always very lifted after I have been wearing heels long term
