Researchers say that a fifth of women have gone to such extreme lengths to wear trendy shoes that they have ended up twisting their ankle or tearing a tendon.
- And a third have fallen flat on their face as a result of their heels, with many damaging their teeth and breaking their wrists.
- The poll of 3,000 women, published on Friday, found other injuries sustained in the name of fashion include broken ankles and twisted knees, reports the Daily Mail.
- But six in ten said they would grimace and continue to wear a pair of uncomfortable shoes if they were complimented on their footwear on a night out.
Lisa McCarten, of comfort shoe specialist Hotter Shoes, said: "It's incredible to imagine the pain and discomfort women endure for a pair of killer heels or an ill-fitting impulse sale bargain.- "Buying shoes can be hard work as women tend to buy shoes that look good with an outfit, and then worry about the pain later."
