Fashion month is a mad whirlwind of collections where we see Anna Wintour literally leap from her seat to continue onto the next show. The jam-packed schedules are cause for a lot of stress for all involved: organizers, editors, buyers, the designers–but especially the models. For models, physical signifiers of work and stress are easily covered on the face with plenty of time in the makeup chair backstage, but there’s one (actually two) key appendages that are sadly over-looked. No, not those. The model’s feet, of course.

With a month of running around four cities, endless nights of fittings, countless show rehearsals and finally–the actual shows–a model’s foot takes one heck of a beating. We’ve already covered the wonderful shoe highlights from this season, but now we will take a look inside the shoe. Warning: If you have foot issues (ie they are too creepy for you to even handle), this slideshow is not for you.
