The saying goes, "If the shoe fits, wear it."
Well, even if it doesn't, some women are going to great lengths to make it fit. Doctors say elective foot surgery is a growing and potentially dangerous trend. But we found out why women would go under the knife for fashion.
If you ask the style experts, high heels are the height of fashion. For every six-inch stiletto, for each knifepoint pump, there is some woman out there trying to jam her feet into them.
Kristal Haynes has eyed these shoes enviously for years. She felt her feet didn't quite make the cut. Bunions and hammertoes just didn't go with Gucci and Manolo Blahnik. So she went under the knife.
"What they did was they shaved some of the bone down so my so that my foot is more aligned," Haynes said.
Doctors say they're seeing a lot more requests for foot surgery these days and not always from women with foot pain. These are elective surgeries. Often they're asking to have collagen injected into the balls of their feet. They want their second toes shortened, and sometimes they're even requesting a little bone shaved off their little toe.
