Solewells foot pads provide patented, over-the-foot protection against blisters and sensitive soles by eliminating friction caused by shoes. Specifically designed to be worn with heels, Solewells have evolved to be worn with most* types of shoes. There is absolutely nothing like Solewells foot pads on the market. Wear them under stockings or socks, or alone with shoes. Nothing beats a physical barrier between your shoes and your skin. As you walk in shoes, your foot slides back and forth, creating friction. In high heels, with the downward slope of the shoe, this sliding is even more prevalent. This friction leads to irritated, blistered, and sensitive feet—particularly in your toes, soles and on both sides of your feet. Our foot pads are thin and lightweight. They act as a second skin on key areas of your foot, providing a physical, anti-friction barrier between your feet and your shoes. Let Solewells take on the PAIN! We designed Solewells to be thin, second skin like and fit comfortably into most heels. However, for best results, we recommend that you purchase your shoes a half size up from your normal shoe size (if you wear very tight shoes). If you are between sizes, then stick with your original shoe size. Wear them, wash them, and put them back into the small box that fits perfectly into your handbag. *The reason we say most is because the foot pads are not designed for flip-flops or thong-like shoes, plus we would hate to over promise and under deliver. Strappy shoes will make the foot pads a bit more visible than we'd like and we sure would hate to ruin your style! Made in USA start to finish.
