As you can see in the picture, there is a big bony bump on the side of the big toe. This is called a Bunion. Bunion is a deformity of the big toe joint where the big toe moves towards the little toe and the long bone (1st metatarsal) moves away from the little toe. This forms an abnormal angle in the joint causing stress and pain to the joint and soft-tissue around the joint, frequently with periods of joint inflammation. Bunions are more common in women and increase with age. They are exacerbated by poor fitting shoes particularly if they are narrow and tight as this puts pressure on the big toe joint. Therefore shoe choice is essentially when trying to manage bunion pain. A bunionectomy or a foot surgery can fix the bunion.

Now let’s draw our attention to the other toes which look deformed. Hammertoes usually start out as mild deformities and get progressively worse over time. In the earlier stages, hammertoes are flexible and the symptoms can often be managed with noninvasive measures. But if left untreated, hammertoes can become more rigid, claw like deformity and will not respond to non-surgical treatment. Hammertoe surgery by a Podiatrist or foot doctor will be required to fix the problem.

Check out those bunions on Jennifer Aniston at the French premiere of “The Bounty Hunter” last summer. I’ve got to admit that I like Jennifer; she is beautiful and sexy no matter what. Even though the internet is all a buzz with her dating choices and her social lifet, I think it’s so refreshing to see her in a beautiful pink dress after years of little black dresses and nude/beige/tan frocks. But one look at her strappy sandals has me gasping ohh no!!! She got ugly bunions and hammertoes.

Her poor bunion is busting out of that shoe and her hammer toe is exaggerated by clinging onto the backless shoe.

One would think that our friend Jen would have had her bunion treatment Los Angeles prior to Paris premier; but nope! She was in Berlin and Spain soon after Paris.
She and co-star Gerard Butler were flying around the world promoting Bounty Hunter, London one day, Paris, Berlin after that – one would wonder if all the high heels and red carpet looks are making that foot pain seem never ending. Do you think we’ll see Jen throw up her hands and show up to the next premiere in some comfy flats?

Posh in her flats at LAXWhat is going on here?! Miss “I hate ballerina flats” is at Los AngelesAirportin simple shoes! No sky-high stilleto, no teetering on shoes without a heel, but shoes the rest of us wear to the airport. Dare I ask if there is an orthotic in there? Instead of being at LAX, shoe should be at Beverly Hills podiary and Los Angeles foot doctor to fix her bunions.

We all know of Posh’s foot pain and things must really be getting bad. First, there were reports that she was wearing a night splint and resting her feet at home, then reports escalated to rumors of bunion surgery and doctors recommending an urgent bunionectomy… But I never thought I would see Victoria Beckham trade in her signature shoes for those of a commoner!

Now for all of you worried that Posh has lost of all her edge, don’t fret. She’s not shopping at DSW– her flats are $500 French Lanvin ballet flats, which are only available at retailers inBal HarborFlorida andLas Vegas. So I guess if she’s going to fall from grace she might as well do it in style.
