To sport trendy, vertiginous heels the likes of their favouritecelebs, some women are opting for dermal filling in their feet - oreven toe jobs, reportedly dubbed "Loub" jobs after shoe designerChristian Louboutin - to make the shoes less painful, according tomedia reports. According to the Daily Mail in the UK last week, inquiries by womenrequesting dermal filler injections into the toe pads, heels andballs of their feet have grown 21 per cent over the past year inthe UK. Described as being "virtually painless," the treatments involveinjecting collagen into the feet to create a pillowy effect,providing built-in cushion to soften the strain of wearing highheels. The treatment, administered by an experienced practitioner, costsfrom £320 (S$640) and results can last up to 6 months. Why now? "The boom was revealed as it emerged sales of six-inchheels quadrupled in the past 12 months," reported the UK's Sun onMonday. Other procedures that have been around for years but are reportedlygrowing in popularity in the US and UK include surgically shavingdown the sides of the pinky toe, or a toe tuck, to fit into narrow,pointy shoes. Another procedure is dubbed the "Cinderella Procedure," which is a"preventative" bunion correction that narrows the foot. Also injectable fillers, traditionally used for the face, have beenused for purely aesthetic reasons: to smooth out the tops of bonyfeet (as well as droopy knees) for summer months. Years ago, the Daily Mail reported that women were seeking Botoxinjections to cure a condition known as "stilettotarsal," whichcauses pain in the soft tissue of the ball of the foot after yearsof wearing high heels. Australian researcher Neil J. Cronin, who recently published astudy on how high heels alter the biomechanics of the foot, advisesthat high-heel wearers try, if possible, to steer clear of thetowering heights when selecting shoes. Opt for heels maybe "once or twice a week," he told The New YorkTimes, or "try to remove the heels whenever possible, such as whenyou're sitting at your desk.".
