Foot Botox

Relief for Stilettotarsal High Heel Pain

— October 20, 2008 — Fashion
By using foot fillers, fashionistas can extend the wear-time of their 8 inch stilettos until they need a walker.

Injecting Botox into the balls of the feet is said to cure ‘Stilettotarsal,’ the term for the affliction that comes from years of wearing high heels.

Foot implants may soon surpass breast implants as the most popular fashion body mod.

Implications - Fashion has never yielded to health and ergonomics, and fashionistas are increasingly opting to undergo cosmetic surgery rather than hang up their sky-high stilettos. Foot implants, third-party foot inserts and at-home spa amenities are just some of the methods footwear fanatics will use to let them enable their habit.
Trend Themes
1. Foot Implants - The popularity of foot implants could disrupt the fashion industry by providing a permanent solution to high heel pain.
2. Third-party Foot Inserts - The rise of third-party foot inserts presents an opportunity for companies to create innovative and customizable solutions for high heel comfort.
3. At-home Spa Amenities - The demand for at-home spa amenities could lead to the development of new products and services catering to foot relaxation and pain relief.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Industry - The fashion industry could see disruptions with the rise of foot implants and third-party foot inserts, as consumers seek more comfortable and sustainable high heel options.
2. Cosmetic Surgery Industry - The cosmetic surgery industry may experience a shift in procedures, with foot implants becoming a popular choice among fashion-conscious individuals.
3. Footcare Industry - The demand for at-home spa amenities and customizable foot inserts presents an opportunity for the footcare industry to offer innovative products and services for pain relief and foot relaxation.
