Empowering women to wear the shoes they love without pain.
When looking for a high heel insole or insert to prevent or alleviate pain, there are quite a few options.
Do you go for foam, gel, or resin?
Do you consider shape, function and structure?
Do you buy an insole that need to be replaced every 6 months or one that is designed to last a lifetime?
These are all great questions.
Do you ever feel like your posture is a bit off when wearing heels?
Like your legs are leaning too far forward and your shoulders are leaning too far back?
Here's why.
In standard 3 inch heels, 75% of our body weight is carried on the balls of our feet.
Some women are most comfortable in kitten heels or low wedges, while others feel right at home in 4 inch heels. But why?
Dr. Emma Supple, a London podiatrist, says it’s all in the structure and flexibility of your foot.
When relaxed, your foot has a natural incline. This is the position in which your foot feels most comfortable. It is also your ideal heel height according to Dr. Supple.
When’s the last time you had your feet measured before purchasing a new pair of shoes?

Podiatrists recommend we have our feet professionally measured every 6 months.

Whether you wear heels every day, just on the weekends, or only for special occasions, a great way to treat your feet after a day or night in heels is with a simple foot massage.
A foot massage can increase circulation, reduce swelling, promote muscle recovery, and improve flexibility and range of motion.
It’s been a rough few weeks for high heels.
First, there was the Cannes ‘flatgate’ controversy.
Then the El Al Airlines protest.
And Jurassic Park.
Despite all of the bad press, heels and wedges still remain #1 - at least in my closet!
And I’m not alone.
Get weak at the knees because the most handsome, confident man smiled at you...
