The heel portion of the shoe sole is + a generally raised in relation to the ball and tip portions and is supported by an outsole that has high and wide heels. A very common problem with this type of women's heel shoes is that when they are worn, the wearer's weight is mainly driven towards the ball and lower tip portions of the user's foot and the underlying ball and tip portions of the user's foot. shoe. The ball portion of a foot usually receives a majority of the normal pressures of a foot and, more particularly, a meta + rso region of the ball portion of the foot. Consequently, wearing the type of women's shoes over an extended period, for example, can cause pain, calluses, and possibly even damage to the user's foot. Women also usually wear nylon stockings or other hosiery with these heels. Although developments have been made to protect the stockings when positioned on the foot of a wearer, such as is seen in the US patent.
