Empowering women to wear the shoes they love without pain.
It's such a bummer when we discover a smudge on our brand new shoes or a stain on our favorite high heels. Here are a few simple tricks to clean our high heels.
And to make your newly cleaned shoes more comfortable, consider adding Vivian Lou Insolia weight-shifting insoles to your heels.
Whether it's dress code drama or the increased likelihood of injury, high heels are always on the media's and medical community's hit (or *hit) list.
Despite the continual bad press, heels and wedges still remain #1 - at least in my closet!
And I’m not alone.
I was recently contacted by customer Jaime Verazin, who has been a professional dancer for 15 years.
In her note, she detailed her experience with Vivian Lou weight-shifting insoles.
“I've been a dancer for 27 years now. I am currently dancing on Broadway and the Assistant Choreographer for a new award winning show called "BANDSTAND". We just won the TONY Award for "Best Choreography"! I've been dancing in heels for a LONG time and have found nothing as helpful as these incredible insoles!
Cabbage.
Many consider it an all-star food as it is high in nutrients, such as vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin E, calcium, sulfur, silica, magnesium, iodine, iron, and phosphorus.

Celebrated London podiatrist Margaret Dabbs was recently asked by Marie Claire how women who frequently wear high heels can keep their feet in tip top shape.

Whether you enjoy the iconicgin and tonic, icedcoffee with bubbles, or non-alcoholicsodas and spritzers,tonicwater makes for some great drinks!
Tonicwater was first made popular in 1825 when British officers were looking for a way to improve the bitter taste of quinine - an extract made from from the bark of the cinchona tree and a powerful anti-malaria medicine.
It's been quite a few weeks for high heels.
First, there is the UK where almost 150,000 people petitioned the governmentcalling for a ban on an employer's right to require women to wear heels in the workplace.
And then there is Japan where a popular national campaign encourages women to wear high heels as a way toboost their confidence in society.
I just love this time of year! The choices for footwear are endless. Strappy sandals. T-strap block heels. Colorful pumps. Espadrille wedges. Pretty much anything goes!
With all the fun footwear choices, sometimes we push the edge! We either stand too long, walk a bit too far or do a bit too much.
Even in our most comfy pair of shoes, our feet would be sore, tired and inflamed.
Then perhaps essential oils can help!
A study conducted by The College of Podiatry revealed that it takes an average of 1 hour, 6 minutes and 48 seconds for high heel wearers to start feeling foot pain.
And one in five women (20%) say they start feeling pain within just 10 minutes.
So what are women to do?
