Women Will Suffer Painful Heels in the Name of High Fashion

Research released by the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists in the UK, found that 37 percent of women will wear shoes that are uncomfortable as long as they are fashionable, reports BBC news.
The survey of 2,000 women also revealed that nearly four in ten will buy shoes that they know don't fit.
Lorraine Jones from the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists warns that most people in the UK suffer from a foot problem at some point and that the culprit is often poor-fitting shoes, says the source.
As for those "killer" heels, Jones tells the site they are prone to cause problems. Plus, warns to be especially cautious of slip-ons, which cause the foot to slide forward.
Yikes! What about those Balmain zipper boots with the 4-inch heel or those classic pointy-toe Manolo Blahnik stilettos?
There goes our (ideal) fall shoe wardrobe!
