II)KiptenkoN.info@eco-vector.com150419282444814811412202114122021Copyright © 1928, Eco-Vector1928<p>The author considers two types of high heel: French and English. The French heel is rational if it is sufficiently advanced, up to the middle of the arch of the foot, if the heel tilt axis is parallel to the body gravity axis, i.e. equal to 35, and if the heel-toheel contact area is horizontal. The English heel is made of wood or leather, its axis is vertical, the heel surface is shorter than in the French. It is less rational than the French heel, as it does not give enough reliable support to the arch.</p>Kazan Medical archiveКазанский медицинский архив
