According to the Boston Globe some women are getting little toes surgically removed so as to fit into elegantly tailored high heeled shoes. Now as any half-way sensible person will tell you, this is a less than wonderful idea. Is it really worth a lifetime of gimping around the place for the sake of squashing your foot into clearly inappropriate footwear for a sequence of evenings out in your twenties and early thirties? You know you're only going to be slobbing around the place in those big clompily comfortable trainers when you've got a couple of kids and your idea of a big night out is a bottle of wine and the X Factor final. I sincerely hope that this story falls under the category of Urban Legend.
