High heel happiness

Not too long ago I wrote about the benefits of wearing high heels when I go out with my husband. What I didn’t write about was the agony of wearing them, too.

Up until last Saturday I tried the gel-like inserts, smiled and hoped for the best. And often winced in pain by the end of the night.

But this past Valentine’s night I danced the night away in some serious heels.

I mean it girls… We arrived at the party at about 7p and left at about midnight. And, aside from the little time I spent eating dinner, I was dancing (One of my very favorite thinks to do with my husband! He flings me around the floor and I just giggle. Love it!), chatting and STANDING in heels– without pain. Okay, maybe at the very end things got a little uncomfortable. But I think I’ve found the magic insert. Really.

No, I didn’t receive these Insolia inserts for free to review. I just happened upon them at my local grocery store, paid the $8.50 and hoped for the best. Yesterday I bought a few more pairs to stick in the next several pairs of heels I’ll wear because I think they are fantastic.

Rather than cushion your feet, these inserts redistribute the weight of your feet so the balls don’t carry it all.

These things are awesome! Try them out and your toes will thank you. And then you’ll thank me on your next date night.

  1. What store did you find them in? I can’t find them in any stores.

  2. Do they have any that work for low heel or flats? I can’t wear heels because I have major foot problems.

  3. I am definitely going to try these! The gel inserts just didn’t work for me, and I am so short that I need to wear heels with practically everything or I look like I’m 8 years old.

    Thanks for the tip!

  4. OOH!! I will definitely try those. I want to wear heels, but am too “practical”- they hurt too much! Maybe now, i have a solution- THANKS

  5. I don’t wear heels because I really don’t need the extra height, but I will pass this long to some of my heel lovin friends!
