Does walking in heels burn more calories?

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.

No, but you look good doing it. ;-)

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!
