Elective Foot Surgery to Wear Stillettos

As ladies, we all know too well about the pain in our feet at the end of a long workday.  Though they may look great and add inches to our height, sky-high heels are not the most comfortable choice in footwear – even when you sit at a desk all day.

 But how far would you go to keep the designer heels and lose the aches and crammed toes?  Some women have found a serious solution for this stiletto situation-

Nightline tells the story of a woman who was tired of looking for the right heels to fit her feet, so instead she turned to plastic surgery to get fit her feet into the shoe.  She is one of many ladies with larger feet that squeeze and squish their toes into tiny shoes in the hopes of achieving a look that adds even more discomfort than those with average-sized tootsies.  This brave woman had her toes dislocated, sawed down and reset, in order to more comfortably fit into high heels. 

This seems like a high price to pay for a pair of shoes, but she’s not the only one.  Elective foot surgery has become a growing trend among American women. 

Another (more appealing) option involves transferring fat from your waist to your feet for fat pad injections.  Though this won’t help your feet to shrink, it will add a little more cushion to your step and take out that jiggle around your belly!

Though elective surgery is more common and practical when it comes to feeling confident with other areas of the body, it seems feet are just as important to some!

If the shoe just won’t fit and Dr. Scholl’s aren’t working, maybe surgery is an option to consider. Or, perhaps it’s time for shoe companies to design more comfortable and sassy custom fitted heels for the best of both worlds! Now, Is that too much to ask, Jimmy Choo?
