What is going on here?! Miss "I beyond hate ballerina flats" is at LAX in simple shoes! No sky-high stilleto, no teetering on shoes without a heel, but shoes the rest of us wear to the airport. Dare I ask if there is an orthotic in there?
We all know of Posh's bunion pain and things must really be getting bad. First, there were reports that she was wearing a night splint and resting her feet at home, then reports escalated to rumors of bunion surgery and doctors recommending an urgent bunionectomy... But I never thought I would see Victoria Beckham trade in her signature shoes for those of a commoner!
Now for all of you worried that Posh has lost of all her edge, don’t fret. She’s not shopping at DSW like the rest of us – her flats are $500 French Lanvin ballet flats, which are only available at retailers in Bal Harbor Florida and Las Vegas. So I guess if she’s going to fall from grace she might as well do it in style.

The newest gossip mag obsession is isn’t a valley girl on the hills or even a guido from Jersey Shore. It’s little Suri Cruise—three years old, mind you— in high heels. With the paparazzi in overdrive taking photos of Suri and her feet everywhere from Boston to Barcelona, the Cruises finally addressed the issue (sort of) and commented that their daughter is like every other little girl who loves to dress up.
"They are actually ballroom dancing shoes for kids," Katie Holmes told Access Hollywood. "I found them for her and she loves them."
But on a rainy day in Boston Suri stumbled in these heels adding fuel to the fire and proving that even a three-year old has as much trouble walking in heels as I do.
Now, podiatrists who have never met the family are being interviewed left and right warning against bunions, chronic foot pain and hammer toe. You would think that with celebrities around the world finally admitting their love of high heels is destroying their feet and sending them in for bunion surgery, the Cruises would hear the outcry and prevent their daughter from aching feet for a few more years. But Suri is still clicking around town in those kitten heels!

Victoria Beckham’s bunions have reportedly gotten so bad that she’s getting ready for a bunionectomy. Now, take this with a grain of salt because every time Posh Spice exposes her bunions the gossip magazines start quoting their sources but they’re saying that she’s staying home, icing her feet, and doing foot exercises in a desperate bid to avoid bunion surgery.
In 2003 there were reports that Vicky was hiding an awful secret in her stilettos (dun dun dun!) and in 2007 the story flared up again. She commented, “I hate my feet, they are the most disgusting thing about me. Part of the reason I wear such amazing shoes is to take the eye away from my horrid feet and on to the stunning shoes.” But now the tabloids are saying she’s just putting up with the pain of bunions in order to avoid surgery.
After years of wearing her trademark 6-inch stilettos, Posh now has to tend full time to her aching feet. She notoriously hates ballet slippers and flats (I wouldn’t dare ask her opinion on orthopedic shoes!) but would be ordered to stay off the high heels for a few months if she went through surgery. But Posh Spice just wouldn’t be posh on flats!

Sher is Bunion Ella
Sher actively manages her life of going between Lake Tahoe and Marin County, California while trying to make light of her chronic foot pain caused by bunions. You would never know that she suffers from Hallux valgus. Always funny, active and attractively dressed, Sher is coming out of the closet about her bunions! She wants to help others find humor with their bunions while helping them talk about and find solutions for this common foot disorder.

Bunion Ella is my nickname. It's not hard to imagine why. On a recent trip to Mexico with my girlfriends, I could no longer disguise my growing "foot problem." I'm the one with the shoe fetish...I always wear the most fashionable, sexiest shoes known to womankind. I have a major investment in Manolos and Jimmy Choos. The sandals I brought to Mexico were simply fabulous. But, they couldn't hide the obvious.....my Hallux valgus, affectionately known as a bunion.
Very quickly my friends not only noticed this hideous bump, but decided right then and there, before the second margarita, that my name would be from now on, Bunion Ella. I tried to pretend that "Bunion Ella" didn't insult my vanity. After all, I had a beautiful pedicure, and the sandals were divine. Who knew that those things wouldn't get proper notice. And, that bump causes foot pain! How did this happen to me, Shoe Fashionista of world renown!
I've seen the aftermath of bunion surgery - not for me. Am I forever destined to hide my toes in Dr. Scholl's?
