Mariah Serrano, 21, from New York, United States, was born with a painfully twisted club foot, and had never worn high heels in her life. She had always been confined to trainers as a result of the condition, growing envious of her friends who wore heels over the years. But not anymore. Serrano has found a way round her obsession – albeit weird – she asked a surgeon to chop off her leg so that she can have prosthetics in place and wear heels, according to Mirror UK. “When I was told I’d never be able to wear high heels and I should give up my dream career, I was devastated,” she said. “I went to a specialist in 2009 and told him to amputate my leg. Mum was horrified but that was what I wanted,” she said. The 21-year-old endured five operations and wore leg braces all her life with no improvement. It came to a point where she was sick of the braces and longed to wear normal shoes. That was when she finally made up her mind to have them chopped off. “It wasn’t until I read an article about my favourite designer Alexander McQueen, who’d made a pair of prosthetic legs for athlete Aimee Mullins that I knew what I had to do. I realised that a beautifully crafted prosthetic could look good and so I chose that.” The days and weeks after the surgery weren’t easy – they came with lots of pains for the young woman. “Most times I wondered what on earth I had done. I couldn’t go out and didn’t want my friends to come over and see me. It was really hard,” she said. Eventually the wound healed well and her family presented her with her first pair of heels. She was thrilled. “As I teetered around the living room wearing them, I knew I’d done the right thing,” she said. Mariah remembers having trouble learning to walk in heels. “It was hard to get used to, but even girls without foot and leg problems have to learn to wear heels for the first time. “Choosing to have my leg cut off was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I still wake up sometimes and wonder where it is,” she said.
