Women resorting to cosmetic surgery to fix foot problems - 01/12/08

Following on from our news story about how high heels affect your feet, many women are now turning to surgery to fix problems caused by wearing high heels, so they can carry on wearing them.

Women are now having cosmetic surgery on their feet, including shortening and lengthening toes, removing bunions and corns, and even having botox injected into the ball of the foot.

If you need expert advice about foot problems, find a professional podiatrist in your area by using our Find a Practitioner service.

You can also prevent foot conditions by wearing insoles, heel pads, arch supports and metatarsal pads.

We recommend Sorbothane Full Strike insoles, Sorbothane Heels and Sorbothane Medical Heels.

But these operations aren’t just to relieve the foot of pain, many women are having these treatments done so that they can carry on wearing high heels, to make their feet look better and to even shape their feet to suit the shape of high heels.

Common problems caused by wearing high heels include heel pain, flat feet, bunions, corns, mallet toes, blisters and arch pain.

High heels can also cause other problems, such as lower back pain, and injuries to the ankles, knees and hip.
