Now I'm not a girl that can wear heels, in fact many of my beautiful boots and sandals have lain discarded in my wardrobe for a number of years and been slowly replaced by flats, flip flops and trainers.
Even going out means an extra pair of flats to change into after a couple of hours. So when Scholl sent me it's new Party Feet snowflake limited edition range, which are placed in the front of your shoe to prevent that horrible pain you get when wearing heels, I was understandably unconvinced.
Yes they looked nice and sparkly but do they really do the job? I took them on a night out with my heels to find out.
Putting them into my shoes was a bit tricky. They were extremely sticky and stuck to every part of the inside of my shoe and when I had finally got past that hurdle the next problem arose.
Because they sit in the front of your shoe, they make the gap between your feet smaller, meaning the shoes can feel a little tight. I was ready to pack my trusty flip flops but I soldiered on.
For research purposes (of course) I decided to go to a bar, where seating is a luxury, meaning I would be have to stand all night. An hour into the eve and I felt the familiar twinge of pain, that only standing with heels on would give.
However, I was surprised after that I didn't feel a thing, especially during the 10 minute walk home, which normally would have crippled me had I not had the Party feet on.
The real test came the next day however. I don't know about you but when I wear heels the night before, I always get pains in my calves, however, it seems the Party Feet did actually work, because there was none of that the morning after.
The only thing I would say is that the tops of my feet were a little bit sore from where they had been pushing on the tops of my shoes.
Party Feet have made me think again about wearing heels, and I'm pleased to say they actually did work and because they can be used again and again I think I've found my sole mate for life.
