pimp your shoes

Okay ladies…it’s time to take matters into our own hands. Yes, yes some people are blessed with pain-free feet. As for the rest of us, we want to look sassy and be comfy too! ;)
As I have mentioned before, when it comes to high heels, look for pairs with hidden platforms inside. A platform of at least 1 inch decreases the angle of your foot in the shoe.
Also, just as we have our clothes altered….visit a great shoe repair!! They can add foam padding to the inner soles of your high heels. This goes for other types of shoes too. The cost is usually minimal and lasts longer than a Dr Scholl’s. (not knocking their products though :) )
A great shoe repair in NYC is T.O. Dey. They can sometimes get pricey, but are fantastic!! They work with many celebrities, Broadway performers, etc.. In fact they can MAKE you a pair of shoes if you can afford it. They have improved my dance shoes greatly!
Another NYC shoe repair that I have read about is called Leather Spa. I have not been there, but it looks and sounds great!
If shoes aren’t made to the comfort level we desire, then we need to adjust them to meet our standards. Also, I am soooo thrilled that designers are making more shoes with platforms big and small! High end designers and moderately priced lines are getting on board with this design.   For example, Christian Louboutin, Sergio Rossi, Cole Hann, INC, Guess, Bebe, Zara and many more. Long live the platform! Sexy AND comfortable…what a concept!!! :) Don’t settle for less….pimp your shoes and unite comfort with fashion !

These pads are definitely also an item you should try! They are a thin, clear pads that are invisible in most shoes.
Silicone helps absorb shock and the design helps redistribute pressure.
These pads are very different than most…… there is a dome that sits behind the metatarsal head to relieve pressure. Since you can just place these in your shoes (not stick them), they are reuseable! You can just move them from one shoe to the next.  They are by FootSmart.com    Give ‘em a try :)

Okay…these pads are amazing in heels!!! They are even good in flats for extra cushion. I highly recommend this product. There are “imitation” versions by other companies but they are not as good. These are a must for providing comfort in high heels. They are only about $5.00 so give ‘em a try!
