We’ve all fallen victim to a pair of uncomfortable shoes. You know the ones — those sky-high heels that make your legs look amazing, but you can barely make it out the door without getting a blister or eyeballing the nearest chair . . . Fear not, here are some top tips and tricks to make even the most uncomfortable shoes, well, comfortable.
Stiletto Heel Tips
Stop your stilettos from sinking into the ground or in-between cracks, both of which can destroy your fav heels. Heel Tips are perfect for the races, garden parties and other outdoor activities.
Available in both black and clear these beauties also come in three different sizes and generally fit a 7mm-10mm wide heel. Not only will you be a little more stable your heels will last that little bit longer
Gel Cushions
Scholl Party Feet Gel Cushions provide invisible cushioning to help prevent the burning pain in the balls of your feet.
The clear gel, ultra slim inserts sit at the base of your shoe and can be reused many times.
Stretch It Out
Ask a cobbler {or even at those key repair shops in the shopping centres} to stretch out the front of your shoe. Doing so will give your toes more room to move, which may reduce squeezing and soreness throughout the foot. Stretching only works with shoes made of leather and suede.
Or try these for some DIY shoe stretching.
Blister Shield
Blisters have to be the number one enemy when it comes to foot pain. Even the smallest blister can make your eyes water from the pain.
Acting like a second layer of skin blister bandaids protects the sore spot from friction and rubbing, keeping the blister moisturised and flexible. Basically it will make wearing those fabulous shoes a little more bearable.
Strap Strips
These virtually invisible thin strips add both comfort to your favourite strappy shoes, and relief to your sensitive ankles and heels.
The strips trim easily for a customaizble fit. Perfect for preventing blisters, keeping straps from slipping and reducing the ‘digging in’ feeling you can get.
