Can skinny jeans damage your health?

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

An Associate Professor in Physiotherapy says skinny jeans were "not the cause of the problem" after a woman in Australia was cut out of a pair when her calves swelled. Roger Kerry said the woman's condition, called 'compartment syndrome', was down to prolonged squatting while moving house. "The jeans weren't suitable for what she was doing" said Kerry. "If you are wearing skinny jeans and going to the pub you will absolutely fine." "Skinny jeans are great, you can get them really cheap!" he added.
