Wedding Shoes: Get Comfortable!
Even a well made designer shoe can sometimes slip, shift, rub or chafe. And who needs it? Certainly not you on your wedding day.
A well-placed shoe pad can help prevent those foot mishaps and can keep you dancing well into the night.
In certain situations pads can even make your feet "look" better! Use this guide to identify common problems and get a fast, effective fix.
Problem
Open-toe shoes can allow toes to spill out and crowd.
Solution
A round shoe pad such as the Foot Petals Tip Toes placed under the ball of the foot or a full shoe pad like Foot Petals Killer Kushionz helps prevent toes from hanging over the foot bed. It's more comfortable and much more attractive.
Problem
In pumps and other shoes with a closed, cupped back your heel can slip each time you lift your foot to walk.
Solution
A rectangular shoe pad such as the Foot Petals Heavenly Heelz prevents feet from slipping.
Problem
High heels can cause toes to crowd into the toe box.
Solution
A round shoe pad such as the Foot Petals Tip Toes placed under the ball of the foot or a full shoe pad like the Foot Petals Killer Kushionz helps prevent toes from sliding too far forward. Tip: For Tip Toes, leave the adhesive backing on the pad when you place it in the shoe. As the day wears on and your feet swell you can easily remove the pad.
Problem
Slingbacks can slide off the back of your heel.
Solution
A thin strip shoe pad such as the Foot Petals Strappy Strips placed on the inside of the slingback will provide extra grip and cushioning so the strappy slingback stays put. Tip: Wig tape works here too!
Problem
No arch or heel support.
Solution
Foot Petals Killer Kushionz cushion your insole for total comfort and stability. They also prevent feet from slipping forward so there's no scrunching or bunching.
Problem
Mules and slides can chafe the top of the foot.
Solution
A rectangular shoe pad such as the Foot Petals Heavenly Heelz can be placed on the inside top of the shoe to prevent rubbing and chafing.
