Michele Caputo featured on the latest episode of My Feet Are Killing Me, but the show shocked viewers with a tribute at the end.

The episode saw Michele visit Dr. Brad Schaeffer over her ‘hammer toe’ after experiencing pain from the bump that began aged four.

According to Medical News Today, a hammertoe is “a toe that has an abnormal bend in its middle joint, making the toe bend downward to look like a hammer.”

During the show she talked about only ever wanting to paint her nails and wear open-toed shoes without any judgement.

My Feet Are Killing Me paid tribute to Michele Caputo at the end of the episode, revealing her passing.
