    No. It doesn't. It fatigues (and possibly damages) your feet but it doesn't make you burn calories.

    Unless you are one of the baboons who schlumph around in them with no grace, making heels the most UNsexy thing in the world.

    Rehabbing a sprained ankle probably burns more calories than walking in heels gracefully.

    All of these wobbly heeled bimbos are a perfect example of why we should all be exercising and getting plenty of calcium!

    I am not sure but there was one study I read. It found that people who wore heels to work walked significantly less throughout the day.

    Don't know about wearing heels, but I wear steel toed boots for work & riding boots all winter. That's an extra 3 lbs I carry around when I walk! That's gotta count for something! :ohwell:

    I agree! Once I start wearing my big old Sorels in the winter to keep my feet warm I'm sure I must be burning more! Then add the 6-12 inches of snow I have to trudge through! :laugh:

    Don't know about calories, but it does help tone your calf muscles.
