I found a celebrity foot fetish site and no…I don’t have a foot fetish. There is beautiful Victoria Beckham with some significant foot complications. I mean bunions, hammertoes and ill-fitting shoes. Bunions and hammertoes are painful, but shoes that do not fit well cause pain in the feet.
Poor fitting shoes cause the toes to “curl” in the shoes and over time, the toes can stay in a contracted position and cause the hammertoes to develop. Hammertoes are toes that are contracted at the “knuckle” or in medical terms ….the proximal interphalangeal joint and sometimes, a clawtoe toe deformity can develop and this occurs at the distal interphalangeal joint. With the toes that are contracted, the joints can develop hardened skin known as corns. This is caused by poor fitting shoes and the contracted toes are rubbing on the underside of the shoes and can cause severe discomfort as well as the “corns.” If you look at Victoria Beckham’s feet, specifically the shoe pictures, the toes are just curling in those bad heels.
Some of the treatments for hammertoes are shoes with a better fit, paddings on toes, steroid shots to reduce inflammations and surgical correction. My opinion is that hammertoes are a boney deformity and one should fix the problem. Now, do not make the assumption that I just want to cut. Bone does not reduce with lotions, creams, and voodoo. The bone is the problem….So you decide because you are only committing SHOEACIDE….
Now, not all hammertoes are caused by poor shoes. It can be cause by certain medical conditions such as Rheumatoid arthritis, Septic arthritis and Stroke. So, if get evaluated for any orthopedic condition, just keep this in your thought that your overall health can contribute to the hammertoe condition.

Serious runners agree that wearing the right shoe is very important. Wearing the wrong shoe can cause discomfort and even injuries. But what if wearing no shoes while running was an option?

If you are into fashion, you everyone knows the “importance” of wearing high heels/platform heels. It is very difficult to walk without wobbling in those heels, but you had to have them. Indeed, many women choose to endure pain and discomfort in the name of fashion … and underestimate the health risks of high-heeled shoes.
