Foot fetishes. What used to be relegated a nightmare blind date and creepy porn sites has gone mainstream.

Maybe it has something to do with the ever increasing propensity for £300 shoes, but whatever the cause, it's disturbing. As are the lengths that this new flock of pedi-philes will go to in order to achieve fancy feet. Here are some of the horrifying highlights.

Flesh Sucking Fish:
Available at Skin Therapy Ireland are Turkish flesh sucking fish. Coined doctor fish, these minute minnows have a fondness for dead, diseased and scabby skin. Using their gummy mouths (thankfully no teeth); they vacuum away calluses and leave feet soft as a babe's. At least for those for those who can stand a) the tickling and b) the thought of being nibbled on by a fish.

Toe Tucks:
Next, coming in at a slightly higher cost than your standard pedicure are "toe tucks", the new piece de resistance of the cosmetic surgery world. A 25 minute procedure combined with around £1000, two weeks recovery time and the risk of painful side effects can slim down even the most unsightly sausage toe. All we can say is, at least it's permanent.
