it's not necessarily high heels that does that. some get it genetically, some develop it from bad foot posture, some get it from poorly fitting shoes.
shoe design is pretty fuckin horrible, at least for women specific shoes. pointed toe shoes are bad for you, and imo look terrible to begin with. most of the toe boxes [not sure if there's a version of this for open toed shoes] are not compatible with women's natural geometry. i too often see women wearing bad shoes and have their toes hanging out of the shoes. it's vexingly unaesthetic.
i do not believe we're supposed to walk flat-footed. i had fallen arches at one point, and was experiencing a lot of pain from rheumatoid arthritis type symptoms. after hearing this, i did research on the bones and musculature and how it's all supposed to work. i consciously changed the way i walked/ran and to this day remain mindful of my feet and ankles. with some help from boron [kills the amoeba responsible for arthritis] and proper foot/ankle posture i no longer suffer pain and have nice aesthetic arches. my gait is long, fast, and effortless. it's all about knowing how to load energy into the tendons and ligaments. they're like springs.
