Been guilty of this!!! Suffering in Fashion's name.
Nearly four in 10 women buy shoes knowing they do not fit, a poll of 2,000 reveals.
The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists found 37% would wear uncomfortable shoes as long as they were fashionable.
And 17% of men admit buying shoes in the wrong size.
Although 80% of the women said they suffered foot problems like corns or ingrowing nails, only four in ten of the men and women surveyed sought help.
Lorraine Jones, from the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, said: "Many of us find it hard to resist a bargain and the latest fashion must-have, but it's important to remember that by buying ill-fitting shoes, you're not only going to end up in discomfort, but you are also putting your health at risk."
I will agree with this. My point of view on shoes is looking cute and having fabulous shoes outweighs the pain. I may hurt the rest of the night when I take my shoes off, but I know that my feet looked cute that day!
This is actually not new news and most fashion experts could care less! I used to wear cute, funky shoes back in high school (now 27) and it was fun. They were high and never even ached my feet! Or if they did, I didn't care. Now, there is no way I'm wearing even a wedge! Totally flat soles for me now. But for comfort, not because its dangerous otherwise.
