<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 2173783, member: 5833"]A friend whose info is generally reliable has insisted to me that women - this was a while back now - were asking orthopedic surgeons to do something to their feet (remove a bone? shave one down?) so they could fit their feet into skinny, pointy toed shoes. Have never verified this. Can imagine some women submitting to already painful bunion surgery for this purpose, having gotten the bunions from wearing such shoes in the first place.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
