Ladies, this next story is one that you should pay close attention to.

In avoiding long-term damage to your feet, experts are now saying that selecting the right pair of shoes is very crucial.

Here on CTS, let's find out what kind of footwear you need to stay away from to prevent potential toe injuries.

Ms. Liu is a typical office lady who works from nine to five, and like most women, she is in love with looking fabulous in her high-heels.

About three years ago, she encountered a painful condition, in which she suffered from an ingrown toenail that cuts into the side of the nail bed.

Fortunately, her misery ended after she received proper medical treatment, with the doctor drilling a hole on the sides of her toenail and by inputting a shaped memory alloy to hold it in place.

Within a week, Ms. Liu's toenail gradually returned to its normal state.

Although doctors say that some people are born with toenails that curl in, wearing shoes too small or narrow can also result in the same outcome.

When toes are kept in an improper posture for long, the chance of getting ingrown nails is highly increased.
