Ruling concerning high-heeled shoes

Question: What is the Islaamic ruling concerning wearing high-heeled shoes?

Response: The least that can be said is that it is disliked.

First, it is a kind of deception because it makes the woman look taller than she is.

Second, it is dangerous for the woman because it is easy to fall in them.

Third, it has negative health consequences as the doctors have concluded.
