Are foot Fillers the future?
Victoria Beckham can be credited for the surge in women wanting to wear ludicrously high-heels, despite constant health and medical warnings that wearing heels consistently can be bad for you.
Other celeb fans include Sex and the City's Sarah Jessica Parker and Gwyneth Paltrow, but it's fair to say that Posh is unrivaled when it comes to the height and bizarre nature of her heels.
Now it seems that ordinary ladies are turning to a new, painful and slightly odd method to ensure they can pull of her look; a procedure called foot fillers.
Foot filler injections are the latest celebrity craze to hit the US market, where botox jabs are administered into your feet to plump up the ball of your foot. The balls of our feet are often the most painful on a night out, especially if we're embracing the platform heel this season- so does this seem like a logical solution?
We already have the cheap, removable 'party feet' which claim to provide relief for burning feet, but if a more permanent solution, which was guaranteed to provide some comfort for our feet was available, would we want to try it?
Next year the high-street are planning to launch a pair of eight-inch heels for the first time ever, will anyone buy them and more importantly would anyone be able to walk in them? The painful fact is that high-heels are seriously in fashion right now, with the theme seeming to be the higher the better.
If this is indeed the case, and heels do reach an all-time, painful high, is this seriously an option anyone would consider this Christmas, to ensure comfy dancing feet?
