Experts suggest that girls should wait until they are between 14 and 16 years old before wearing heels, and even later is preferable.
Heel-Wearing Age Recommendations
While there's no single "right" age, waiting until the feet are more fully developed is generally advised.
- Expert Opinion: Dr. Ramona Brooks, former spokeswoman for the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), suggests waiting until a child is between 14 and 16 years old or older before trying high heels.
Considerations Before Wearing Heels
It is important to consider the following:
- Foot Development: Feet are still developing during childhood and early adolescence.
- Potential Issues: Wearing heels too early can potentially lead to foot problems.
