Why Have High-Heel Injuries Doubled?



THE dangers of high heels have long been in the headlines, but it seems that women are not paying attention since experts have found that injuries caused by fashion's favourite footwear have doubled over the past decade.  The Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery  found that in 2002, there were 7,097 heel-related injuries for women in the US, but by 2012 the annual number had become 14,140.


So why has this happened? Heels are certainly a little higher than they were in the early Noughties (since what was then considered a towering heel, now looks a little stout), and perhaps women are wearing heels more often - thanks to the rise of fast fashion and the accessiblity of new purchases from online retailers. But an increase in frequency doesn't single-handedly explain the dramatic rise in injuries.



Perhaps unsurprisingly, the injury rate was greatest for women aged between 20 to 29 years, followed by those in their thirties. Also expected, the study found that the injuries sustained from high heels were most often "occurring as sprains and strains to the foot and ankle".





What may surprise many, however, is the fact that the study has found that the most common place to sustain a high-heel-related injury is (the catwalk, a nightclub, that treacherous walk to the cab?) none other than your own home.

Emma Hill Announces Own Label

EMMA HILL, Mulberry's former - and much celebrated - creative director, is to launch her own accessories line later this year, called Hill & Friends. A collaboration with Georgia Fendley - also hailing from Mulberry, where she was brand director - the label will launch at a presentation in London Fashion Week in September, reports  WWD, with product being available to purchase the following day from its own website and Net-A-Porter.

The announcement marks the first major fashion project for Hill since her abrupt departure from Mulberry, which was  two years ago this month. It ironically also comes as her former employer readies to welcome its new creative director Johnny Coca next month - the first person to hold Hill's former post, which lay vacant for 18 months after she left.

Hill & Friends, which is majority-owned by Hill and Fendley, reportedly plans to add ready-to-wear to its offering later down the line, but is currently focused solely on accessories while looking to secure two retail outlets on home turf in London and Stateside in New York.
