clothing & footwear Tight garments can restrict venous blood flow and cause blood to pool, which can aggravate existing conditions. Girdles, pantyhose that are too snug in the groin area, garters, calf-hugging boots, or waist cinching belts should be avoided. Footwear such as high heels should also be avoided. The contraction of the calf muscles aids the return of blood from the legs to the heart. The wearing of high heels prevents full contraction and can hinder blood flow, causing excessive leg aching and tiredness.
