Made my beautiful shoes fit perfectly and comfortably!

FEB

2008

I stumbled upon Foot Petals and ordered 3 items: Heavenly Heelz (to fit around the back of the heel or can also be used across the upper band near the toes), Killer Kushionz (to use as an insole) and Tip Toes (place under the ball of the foot when wearing heels). Silly me, I neglected to use them right away. Boy, am I sorry I waited!

I purchased a beautiful pair of heels for a performance outfit, and they fit great. Unfortunately, I found them after about 2 hours of walking the mall on a warm day, so my feet were swollen. Come time to wear them in performance and they are too loose, so I can't really walk in them. I stuffed them with Dr. Scholl's-type insoles, then cut up another pair to double up under the ball of the foot, plus used a portion of that one to also put something around the back of the heel. Still, I had to squinch my foot back and up before I walked, and that effect only lasted a short while - more than a few steps later I'm walking with an awkward gate to avoid stepping out of them. Plus, those cheap little inserts are white and slick, and the shoes are black and open at the sides and toes, so I had to take a black marker to them to avoid visibility.

Yesterday I finally added the Foot Petals, which I had purchased in black - they were smart to make these available in 5 colors. I put the insole version (Killer Kushionz) in without adhering it just to test it. Immediately it felt great, so I pulled off the adhesive covering and pressed them into place. These have a gripping quality to keep your feet from sliding, and it really works. I debated on adding the heel product (Heavenly Heelz) but finally decided to do so. Either way would have been fine, but this did make it a little tighter fit.

After a year of owning these beautiful but ill-fitting shoes, I can finally wear them and walk in them without giving it a second thought or looking awkward. And these Foot Petals are so comfortable - they are not bulky yet get the job done, especially with the non-slip material.

Pricing isn't exactly cheap if you compare it to the generally available products at your local store. But they are absolutely worth it. MSRP for the Killer Kushionz is $12.95, Heavenly Heelz $6.95, and the Tip Toes (which I haven't used yet) are also $6.95.

Highly recommended!
