    The objective of this project was to identify through a research the foot deformities caused by the prolonged use of high-heeled shoes, for which, the secretaries of the Technical University of Ambato were chosen as subjects of study, including those who have not had history of traumatic injuries in the ankle, want to collaborate and have time for data collection and podoscopic evaluation, wearing the right clothes for it; The project was carried out with 14 secretaries who fit on these criteria. For the collection of data, there was an observation form prepared previously, in which sociodemographic data such as age, weight, height and body mass index were registered; information on the two types of footwear most used by secretaries (footwear type 1 and type 2) detailing the time of use in years, days and hours a week, as well as, model, material and type of heel and toe; the results of the goniometric measurement in dorsiflexion, plantiflexion, inversion and eversion; and finally, the data obtained from the podoscopic evaluation registering mainly the type of footprint, pressure points, foot type and callosities. The results showed a decrease in the normal ranges of movement in dorsiflexion, eversion and inversion of the foot, the inversion being the most affected, the research showed a marked increase in the plantiflexion with marked calluses in the heel and forefoot, besides a detachment of the toes for the floor eliminating the fingerprint.
