Footminders Catwalk: Orthotic Insoles for High Heel Shoes

(Endora Pumps – $59)

Every girl should have an amazing pair of pumps.  Killer heels, amazing color, fabulous embellishments – whatever suits her best.  I have quite a few pairs of skyscrapers; everything from orange to stilettos to wickedly textured faux leather booties.  As a gal of only 5’4″ (and one with less than svelte legs), high heels are one of my very best friends.  And while the ones in my closet might have very few visual similarities, they all have one thing in common – they hurt my feet!

Almost as if they were reading my mind (or monitoring my credit card), Footminders emailed me with a review opportunity seemingly RIGHT after my latest fabulous footwear acquisition.  Of course, I was thrilled to accept.

So, ladies, let’s chat about Footminders.

“Walking in high heel shoes forces your body weight to be focused on the front of your feet, causing the forefoot structure to collapse. This excess force and friction leads to common conditions like ball of foot pain, burning sensation under the foot (Metatarsalgia), callous and corns – even aching legs.

Catwalk high-heel insoles support the arch and forefoot and redistribute your body weight. This greatly reduces the excess force on the forefoot, thereby providing lasting relief from pain and discomfort. With a pair of Catwalks in your shoes you’ll enjoy walking in comfort for hours on end!”

The pair of high heel insoles I received were immediately tucked into a favorite pair of black pumps.  The pumps that make my legs and butt look great, but would make me feet weep rivers if only they had tear ducts.  What a difference Footminders make!  Cushioning my heel alleviates a lot of the pain that I associate with wearing high heels, and keeps me from forming blisters.

I did have a few small problems with the Footminders.  For one, they weren’t quite long enough to cushion the front of my foot.  Second, theydidn’t stay stuck in my shoes…  Although that wasn’t really an issue, because they didn’t slip around when I was actually wearing the shoes.  Re-sticking them before putting my shoes back on was the most minor of inconveniences – and it actually made them easier to transfer from pair to pair.

I highly recommend picking up a pair – or three – of Footminders to keep your pretty pumps company.  You’ll be grateful you did with every cushioned step!
