Is it true that wearing high heels causes plantar fasciitis?
Unclear. Only small cross-sectional surveys and a passing 'is thought to' statement link high-heel wear to plantar fasciitis; no item establishes that high heels cause the condition, and the biomechanics meta-analysis and plantar fasciitis review do not address the causal claim.
