Victoria Beckham is reportedly paying the price for constantly wearing super-high stiletto shoes - bunions that may need surgery.

A friend of the former Spice Girl told the Daily Mail that Victoria is considering surgery on her feet after her big toe joints have become deformed through years of wearing tight, pointed shoes.

The friend told the newspaper: “Victoria has had enough of having bad feet and has made some early-stage enquiries about having her rather unpleasant bunions removed.”

“They are causing her a considerable amount of pain, so much so that she thinks the only thing to do is to have surgery. She knows the operation is unpleasant and she will be out of action for a while, but she thinks it may be worth it.”

“It is something she will probably have done in the States when the family is fully settled in LA.”

Victoria herself has admitted it’s the shoes that are to blame but it’s become a vicious circle and she can’t stop wearing them: “I always wear stilettos but they have given me awful feet.”

“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.”
