These days, some females will do nearly anything to suit their beloved pair of high heels-- featuring surgery. A growing number of females are paying thousands of dollars to surgically modify their feet just to make using heels a more comfy experience. Surgical procedures such as reducing toes, obtaining foot treatments as well as entirely cutting off pinky toes are on the increase. "Unless you've been there, and you can't find shoes, and you're in pain, don't judge," said Susan Deming, a patient who just recently underwent a toe-shortening procedure. Eighty-seven percent of females have had foot problems from using uncomfortable or ill-fitting shoes such as high heels, according to the American Podiatric Medical Association. Deming made use of to like using heels and sandals, till it came to be too painful for her to wear them for more than a couple of moments.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
