Other people will scoff and say it’s all vanity, but that’s not the case — not all the time. It’s true that more and more women nowadays are getting surgery for their feet to improve how they look.
Looking better is a long-term goal, but many are also seeking podiatric procedures to correct the form of their feet. This is done so that the simple act of wearing shoes will not always be a painful experience.
Those who go for cosmetic podiatry, Maryland foot surgeons claim, are not just people who want to be freed from a source of great insecurity. There are those who also want to be freed from actual pain, and aesthetic enhancement just naturally comes with the procedure.
It’s important to point out that not everybody is born with nice-looking feet. There are those who, over time, because of their activities, compromise the natural form of their feet.
Perfect examples are ballerinas; the way they stand on their toes most of the time and the other foot “contortions” they need to perform for dancing alter the shape, size, and overall form of their feet. And it’s not only these; they grow painful calluses, lose their toenails, and develop bunions as well.
Deformed feet and toes really do make shoe-wearing a tricky and often painful experience. Most shoes sold these days are patterned to “normal” feet, so those with misshapen walkers really struggle with finding comfortable footwear.
They can go for customized shoes which can be very costly; and this may also mean that all the shoes throughout their lives will have to be specially made. Such shoes can be quite expensive, and they’re not even the designer kind.
Meanwhile, those who try to cram their “abnormal” feet into regular shoes just create more problems – they either deform their shoes and break them easily or develop calluses, corns and bunions that can be difficult to treat at all.
So, instead of using a special and very specific solution all the time, these people who are cursed with ugly, hurting feet can just go for cosmetic podiatry. They can undergo a one-time procedure with positive effects that can last for the rest of their lives.
No more seeking out custom shoemakers for those expensive personalized shoes — and how about the convenience of just being able to wear all the shoes displayed at the mall, and even getting them at really good deals? And the best benefit gained from the procedure is just complete freedom – freedom to display their feet without earning quizzical looks from other people, and freedom from actual pain.
