    It also looks like she's wearing a bad poncho.
    I realise they're considered to be high fashion, but in all honesty I find them remarkably ugly, that thick sole bit looks bloody awful.

    Mind you it looks like the hat's being held on with a nail banged into her forehead which is probably valid for the wearer (or the tattoo'd tosser she's married to for that matter).

    Probably tabloid BS, but makes a good story.
    I call BS. Her job was to dance on a stage.

    It's not just the shortened tendons, your toes get damaged and mangled from being squished into high fashion shoes for long periods.

    You can get high heeled slippers - well you use to be able to when I was a child in the 80s. My mum had a pair of them so I hunted them out when I was dragged to shoe shops...... Now you can buy them easily on ebay.

    Anyway she should be able to walk normally.

    I know a few people with Achilles injuries where they have ended up with shortened tendons. They have to do stretching exercises given to them by physios.

    OK, I admit it. I like Posh and Derek. Good luck to 'em I say...

    You need skill and an iron will to wear those shoes all day.

    MP may have been trying to point out that the shoes were frankly ridiculous?

    If the shoe fits - wear it.

    I'm no fan of Mrs Beckham but the vitriol she has been subjected to (in certain sections of the press) is appalling. I thought she looked very understated and elegant.

    Are trilby's de rigueur for ukelele players?

    Enquiring minds wish to know
