If you've got a passion for fashion, it could be killing your feet.
Look around: nearly every girl or woman you see is wearing them -- Uggs -- those popular suede boots.
Dr. Ed Chairman a podiatrist in Center City admits they look great, but have no support for the foot and ankle and he's seeing a number of patients in pain:
"What I've been doing is making them a sport orthotic, the type of orthotic you use for running even tennis. Making it fit the Uggs. If it fits the sneaker, it will fit the Uggs.
He says if you're an Ugg lover and are in pain, don't ignore the trouble. He says a problem that can be solved with an orthotic today could require surgery next year.
