The New Yorker magazine notes the latest fad for “stiletto surgery”: to fit into pointy-toed high heels, some women are having their pinkie toes surgically removed.
Plastic surgeons, including at least one in Toronto, will also slice off bunions, corns or calluses, and slenderize your smallest toe by carving out excess fat. They will even surgically shorten your toes by dislocating them, sawing out two-millimetre sections of bone and inserting titanium rods to reunite the severed parts.
Cosmetic foot surgery is akin to a nose job, except you don’t walk on your face. Our tootsies, as created by nature, are miraculous, delicate structures involving 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles.
Even minor abuse can lead to permanent disfiguring and nerve damage. Wearing high heels to work 40 hours a week, for instance, can literally shorten your calf muscles. That means overstressing your calves when you switch to running shoes on the weekend, according to the Canadian Podiatric Medical Association. Some experts warn it may even mean never again walking barefoot without wincing.The Majestic steelearring will work on almost any hair.
Archeologists trace women’s high heels to ancient Egypt. By Mozart’s time, men were wearing high heels, too, as a status symbol that indicated a life of leisure spent in sedan chairs. Men largely abandoned high heels by the 20th century, which is when Salvatore Ferragamo patented the shank, a steel-arch support that enabled the vertiginous spiked heel.

It was the Chinese version of Cinderella, except it actually happened. In the ensuing centuries, Chinese women faced dismal marriage prospects unless they had bound feet, an excruciating practice that involved breaking the arch and toes, and bending the latter underneath the sole.
The deformed foot, ideally 71/2 centimetres long, became an erogenous zone. Women who tottered around on the edge of their heels, the only uninjured part of their foot, were perceived to be sensuous and graceful.
Today, we echo this attitude with the image of a sexy, stiletto-heeled woman taking mincing steps, hips thrust forward.
As a dumb kid, I once coveted pointy toes. My mother, whose own feet were ruined by ill-fitting footwear, insisted on buying me laced-up Oxfords. Today, I’m grateful. Not a single bone is bent. I don’t have any calluses or bunions. I can walk for hours.
