You know, in today's world, I am not surprised that people blame so much on high heels with regard to foot problems.
This is a dangerous society! Breathing the air could kill you! It's extremely unlikely, but if there is the remote possibility of something that can happen under poor conditions, then that means it can happen and the subject becomes a warning.
Somwehere along the way, people believe that the problem is common, and an over developed super hero complex mixed with a subjective viewpoint creates a person out to save the world from itself when the world is okay with that particular subject.
People warning us about high heels are just doing the same thing - taking something remote and trying to save us from it, regardless of the fact that it would only happen with ill fitting shoes and a lot of walking, for example. Most of us are smart enough to wear shoes that fit and know what shoes to wear for the given activity.
We do not need to be rescued! People are starving, dying, living in cardboard boxes, and other people waste their time trying to warn us about a danger that we're smart enough to avoid.
Isn't Planet Earth a fun place?
