'Toe jobs' become popular among stiletto wearers

Sky-high stilettos may be on trend, but the pain they can cause is off the charts.

Bunions, ingrown toenails and severely disfigured feet are but a few of the risks chronic heel-wearers face, according to researchers -- and some women have had enough.

They're not modifying their shoe wardrobes, hoever. They're modifying their feet.

Research shows that the number of cosmetic procedures performed on feet have doubled in the last year.

The Daily Mail reports that requests for collagen injections into the toe pads, heels and balls of the feet in particular soared 21 per cent last year in the UK alone.

The procedure, which is painless, is said to create "a pillow effect on the foot." This alleviates some of the discomfort that can stem from wearing high heels.

One clinic in the UK charges approximately $500 for the procedure, which they say lasts up to 6 months.

What's your take on cosmetic foot surgery? Would you get a toe job before giving up heels?

Alternate idea: Foot binding?

People trying to be fashionable or present themselves as physically attractive? Oh no, how horrible.

No offence to you Donald, but between this kind of article and khamsek’s complaints about smartphones, this place is rapidly tuning in to the sentiments of elderly reactionary conservatives.

It's hilarious how you guys can get all upset about a practice of those inscrutable orientals and yet turn a blind eye to the routine and endemic mutilation of boys penises that occurs thousands of times a day in your own society.

Like, you know that America is a pretty sick society when uncut natural penises, perfected by millennia of evolution, are seen as strange or abnormal.

your analogy doesn't stand up. male babies dont choose to get mutilated. however women choose to put on heeled shoes.

Does any contemporary woman wear high heels except as a once-in-a-while "getting dressed up" sorta thing? Unless they are personally fascinated by fashion, of course, in which case it is not a sacrifice.

Obviously homelessness is more visible about the normalization of sexual dysfunction and bodily vandalism that’s been going on for generations seems like something too widespread to be dismissed

its bogus to demonize surgery with loaded rhetoric like "cutting up your body." body modification predates written history and is a cherished tradition in many cultures

That doesn't seem entirely fair. It's a monkey's nature to be kinky.
