And there is nothing to be done for macaroni toes when you are born with them (ask me how I know!) 90% of feet in this world are fugly.

I actually had to have surgery on them -- not for cosmetic purposes, but because it was becoming sheer agony for me to take a step! And now, thankfully, I am very active...but I have scars on my still-not-pretty-feet (and pins inside them, which sometimes make airport security thingys go off). And mules are a wonderful solution -- especially brightly coloured ones like these. I also like ballerina flats in different colours. I have the curse of the ugly feets, too.

If your feet aesthetically offend you, cover them up. A pedicure is no trip to lourdes. Bunions, hammertoes, nail fungi---can all be fixed, but not all easily or inexpensively.It's just not worth it to me to wear flip flops (which make all feet except tiny kids' ugly) to get a summerylook. I, personally, have a thin body and legs, but sport the feet of the Flintstone. I agree. If your feet aesthetically offend you, cover them up. A pedicure is no trip to lourdes.

And it's not due to health issues, which could indeed be fixed by a podiatrist. I have perfectly healthy, strong, functional feet. But they are just plain ugly. :) I must chime in here and confirm to you that truly ugly feet do exist. And it’s not due to health issues, which could indeed be fixed by a podiatrist.

And if there's really anything hideously wrong, shouldn't she go straight to a podiatrist and get freed to run around in whatever shoes she pleases?

I think this will probably be the first..and perhaps last...time anyone has used the word "manumitted" in a blog.;) And, except for no strap to hold those shoes on, I love the colors!!
