I am keen to have my webbed toes pierced but want to kmow if the stud at the top wont be a problem when I wear closed shoes.Also will the bottom stud not cause a problem when walking.Should I have them pierced seperately to make walking easier during the healing process? also, will I be able to take out and insert the jewellery at will? Any info will be appreciated.Thanks,Mandy9

First just to point out the constant complications that can occur from having your webbed toes pierced (ie: irritation, potential infections,etc) in an open or closed shoe.

If you absolutely want this piercing and are gun-ho and willing to accept the potential issues of delayed healing, potential infection,etc. Then I would suggest it be done at a minimum 12ga in thickness (if not bigger) and use internally threaded flat discs on both the top and bottom. With the flat discs it means you won’t have to worry about the balls as the discs should rest comfortably against the top and bottom of the webbing.

I would also personally try and find a time in your life, when you have the availability to take a few weeks off, before you get this piercing. That way you can essentially just sit around your house and not do a single thing, so you can give it a good chance of healing. The more you exit out into the outside world the more chance you have of introducing various harmful bacteria,etc to the fresh piercing. Not to mention when wearing closed shoes with socks your feet sweat and can and usually essentially suffocate and swell after certain amounts of time.
