Hell in Heels

I’m sure that almost all women of the world are united in feeling the pain and suffering of a day or event in towering heels. We know we look amazing but the long terms effects of these painful necessities do us no favours.

At least during our pregnancies we can get some respite by deciding to wear our beautiful flats. These things become our friend and rightly so...they are not only practical and comfortable but they actually look great with our maternity staples of jeans, palazzo pants or knee length dresses.

An article from The Telegraph (UK) newspaper says: “News that Angelina Jolie, pregnant with twins, had her Louboutin heels specially reduced for her recent red carpet appearance at Cannes was a fillip to expectant mothers, myself included, struggling to keep up with the current vogue for both very high and ultra-low footwear.Jolie, we learn, has also been discreetly wearing Nike insoles in her shoes to stop her arches crumpling beneath the extra weight she's carrying - so it looks as though she's been sensible enough to take professional advice on how to avoid major problems with her feet”.

It would seem that the correct advice for expectant mothers is to make sure your feet are correctly supported and apparently an innersole will assist by moulding to the true shape of your foot.

A buying tip is that all French Sole ballet slippers come with an innersole so this will make the whole experience more streamlined. A lot of people still believe that flat ballet slippers are for girls in their teens but we are here to tell you that is anything but the truth.

Depending on your own individual style you are spoilt for choice with labels like French Sole which you can find in store at http://www.cedarleaf.com.au/ . You will be able to find a pair or two to suit you we promise!
