Miss Joe is a white-collar. In working hours, she is valiant with: perfume, shirts, A-line dress, stockings and a pair of delicate high-heeled shoes. After six months, she found her toes, especially the inside of the big toe, often have redness, swelling, pain and other phenomena, but as long as she take off high heels, or replaced with flat heels, the pain can be eased.
