Millions of people choose to wear high heels on a regular basis. They're a stylish footwear choice and are often associated with a number of negative side effects. However, over the years, studies have found that there are some surprising benefits to wearing this type of shoe.

For instance, one study, as cited by BestLife, found that high heels can actually help you walk better. For the study, men and women wore shoes with a foam wedge in the sole for 14 weeks.
They found that those who wore the heels regularly "expended less energy during a walking test," meaning they were more efficient.
Wearing high heels may also have a positive impact on your sex life. Another study looked at women under 50 and found that those who kept their feet at a 15-degree angle (which is roughly what a two-inch heel would create) showed 15 percent less electrical activity in the pelvic floor muscles that are directly responsible for sexual pleasure.
However, it's important to note that there is more research on the negative effects of wearing high heels regularly, including balance problems, postural instability, and foot pain and problems.
