For people who want the style of high heels but the comfort of sneakers, there is a new product that hopes to merge the two worlds.

With Jimmy Choos, Manolo Blahniks and many other fashionable stilettos getting higher, it is the balls of women's feet that are paying the price. But high heel help is coming in the forms of foot pillows.

South Miami podiatrist Dr. Cynthia Marzouka-Lousito is offering an immediate solution. She injects Sculptra into her patients' feet to puff up the bottom of their feet.

"You recover immediately, we inject today (and) walk out with a plump foot immediately," she said.

Because of the treatment, Helen Brown, a teacher, said she does not have to sacrifice her sexy heels for a job that requires her to be on her feet all day. It is also ideal for athletes such as former tennis player Sally Fuller.

"I'm walking on bone," she said. "I played tennis for a number of years so that entered into it."

She receives the treatment every three months.

"I could not have walked with my bare feet on the ground if I did not have it done," she said.

The procedure works by first numbing the foot and polylactic acid, which has safely been used for years in dissolvable stitches, is injected. A treatment usually lasts between eight months and a year.

Doctors said it is important to massage the foot during the first 24 hours after the treatment. The procedure can costs about $1,000 per foot.
