Victoria Beckham, also known as Posh Spice, has made the news several times this year. Not because of her husband’s amazing talents or her singing career, but rather because of her feet. This Spice Girl has a very serious dilemma. Should she correct her bunions or should she continue to wear sexy shoes and deal with the pain?

A bunion deformity is when your big toe tilts toward your small toes. Over time, the big toe creeps further and further along and causes a bump to protrude out on the side of your foot. This bump is actually the bones that make up the joint at your big toe. There is not one thing that causes bunions. Simply wearing high heels will not lead to bunions though they may make the bunion worse. The most common factor linked to bunions is hypermobility of a joint in the mid-section of your foot.
