The Dangers of Mimicking Barbie’s Foot Curve: Podiatrist Warns Against Standing on Tiptoes

In the challenge, people try to mimic the curve of Barbie’s foot while trying to keep their balance. Just like actress Margot Robbie did in the movie “Barbie”. It took Margot Robbie about eight takes to shoot the famous scene, and she was holding on to something out of frame to keep her balance.

However, the podiatrist emphasizes that trying to stand on tiptoes can quickly lead to adverse consequences.

“You’re transferring all your weight to the front of your foot, which most of us don’t normally do unless you’re wearing high heels,” says podiatrist Alireza Khosroabadi. “But unlike shoes with a heel, the foot is not supported this way.”

It is not a natural position for a person to take a step and walk. It can also affect your ability to maintain balance and increases the risk of sprained ankles.
