They might not be the most obvious choice for someone as glamorous as The Diva, but she’s equally besotted with women’s military boots as everyone else is! The military boots fashion is the perfect choice of footwear to wear with this season’s glam grunge trend, which is ideal for wearing from summer into autumn.

The Diva thinks women’s military boots look amazing with skinny jeans or leggings for a casual look, while you can glam them up with a floral dress or cute hotpants. Anyone who’s anyone is wearing these fabulous military boots now so stay bang on trend with Viva La Diva.

We’ve got a fantastic collection of women’s military boots on our website including those in ankle boot and calf boot designs, as well as flat and high heeled styles. Here’s a snapshot of some from our range.

The Diva was rather astonished to hear about a new craze…women having surgery on their feet to fit into high heels. Now, The Diva might be utterly obsessed with designer shoes but she would never ever consider undergoing surgery just to wear a pair of shoes. The fad started in the US but it seems like it could well hop over the pond to the UK in the near future and The Diva is worried that women may take it all far too lightly.

The most popular surgery is the “Cinderalla Procedure” that corrects bunions and makes the feet narrower, allowing you to slip your feet into even the skinniest of pointy shoes. Another is “Perfect 10″, a toe shortening operation that trims down the toes that hang over the end of sandals or get crushed into pointy toed shoes.

Less invasive procedures include the “Foot-tuck Fat Pad Augmentation” that takes fat from your abdomen and injects it into the balls of your feet for extra cushioning. Others include injecting botox into the feet to prevent sweating, straightening or cutting down the small toe and toe lengthening with the use of special implants.

Despite warnings from orthopaedic surgeons that such surgery should only be carried out to alleviate pain and deformaties, podiatrists across the US say it’s a booming business, and more UK women are now requesting toe correction procedures and botex injections in the ball of the feet according to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.

The Diva thinks she can certainly find some less dangerous (and cheaper!) alternatives to solving your foot problems than undergoing surgery and here are her suggestions!

Problem – wide feet

Surgery option – Cinderella Procedure to narrow the feet

VLD option – buy wide fitting shoes

Why bother undergoing painful surgery to have your feet narrowed when you could just simply buy wide fitting shoes? We have a fantastic choice of wide fitting shoes and boots at Viva La Diva from E fit to EEE fit and even some EEEE and EEEEE fit shoes! They’re exactly the same design as our standard width shoes too.

Problem – long toes

Surgery option – Perfect 10 Procedure to shorten the toes

VLD option – wide fitting sandals

If your toes overhang your sandals that forget having the ends shortened and just buy wide fitting sandals, that’s right, at Viva La Diva we also have a brilliant range of sandals in wide width fittings, so you can wear those summer sandals too.

Problem – sore feet

Surgery option – Foot-tuck Fat Pad Augmentation

VLD option – Gel pads

Ok so taking fat from your augmentation might sound like a way to get slim as well solving your feet problems, but it’s really not as simple as it sounds. Instead of having painful fat injections why not have a look at our range of gel pads for your feet? We sell lots of different types including gel pads for the heels and balls of feet, smaller gel dots for blisters and bunions, and toe gel protectors.

Problem – sweaty feet

Surgery option – botox injections

VLD option – Foot care and insoles

We all get sweaty feet, there’s no two ways around it! But having good foot hygiene can help to keep your feet smelling sweet. Make sure you use moisturising creams to keep your feet supple. We also have some insoles from Schuh that are specially designed to absorb excess moisture and promote foot hygiene.

Not everyone wants to have pierced ears and women who don’t often find it difficult to find fashionable clip on earrings, but there’s no need to fear beacause The Diva is here! At Viva La Diva we have a great choice of clip on earrings from Malissa J jewellery and Bohm jewellery in lots of trendy designs.

Malissa J jewellery comes in all the latest must have fashions and her clip on earrings collection is no different. Bohm jewellery is ever so trendy with lots of boho jewellery styles.
