Ah, feet.
You have to feel sorry for them, really. They oblige you by meekly carrying you around all day long and then let you hop around on them when you head out dancing of a weekend, but get little or no thanks in return. Oh, sure, you might treat them to an annual pre-holliers pedicure if you're feeling flush, but usually they spend their time shoehorned into what my dad insists on calling "those fashion shoe yokes", with the toenails only getting an emergency lick of paint if a shock bit of sunshine or an outfit change calls for the wearing of a sandal or peep toe.
Most people don't particularly like their feet, complaining that they're ugly or weirdly-shaped or have wonky toes, which is probably why there's so little attention lavished upon them. However, you may be able to turn those trotters into things of beauty - without having to take the extreme step of going under the knife.

Yoga Toes are all the rage Stateside at the moment, claiming to right the most common toe alignment problems which tend to be caused and slowly exacerbated by shoes that force toes into unnatural positions. At almost $50 a pop for what to me look like gelatinous enclosed toe seperators that you'd pick up for about two quid in Boots, I have my doubts about them from a value for money perspective. Have a browse through the footcare section of your local chemist for a more pocket-friendly solution: here, you can pick up little individual gel toe seperators or spreaders to gently ease and correct crowding, as well as wee harnesses to straighten a crooked big toe.
Granted, none of these pieces of kit sound wildly sexy but they are fairly blinvisible when in place. And really - don't your poor ol' feet deserve a bit of TLC?
