3 Holiday Foot Fixes
The hustle and bustle of the holidays can be painful on the feet, especially women wearing high heels. Women, before slipping on those fancy slingbacks or new heels, check out these three products that have the APMA's Seal of Acceptance to keep your tootsies pain free.
"Problem: Burning sensation on the balls and toes of the feet.
Solution: Douse foot flames with Heaven4Toes' Alba Round Toe Cushion . The first-ever soft cushion insert designed especially for toes, these toe cushions are made of durable polyurethane for long-lasting comfort, and are virtually invisible in any pair of haughty heels. With footwear cushions designed for both women and men, these protect against painful skin abrasions and help to quell irritation and discomfort caused by friction.
Problem: Shoe soles can be hard on feet, especially near heels.
Solution: SOLE Custom Footbeds, a product designed to provide custom-fit shock absorption in footwear. SOLE Footbeds feature a deep, cushioning heel cup and adjustable arch support that help to protect tootsies on the dance floor."
Problem: Slingbacks can dig deep into heels, leaving blisters and painful abrasions.
Solution: Provide a protective barrier between the strap and your skin by using moleskin or FootPetals' Strappy Strips to prevent blisters and strap slippage, so you can comfortably party into another successful New Year."
