Heels. Whether you love them or hate them, there’s no denying the transformative power they wield over any outfit.
I mean, is there anything that doesn’t look better with heels?
(As someone who has been recovering from a back injury and hasn’t been able to don a pair in months, I can tell you the answer is a resounding ‘Hell no girrrl!’ when it comes to my own closet).
Full of yearning for the day I can again pop on my own beloved pumps and benefit from the much-needed five to eight centimetres in height they afford me, my interest was piqued when I heard an insole had entered the market promising ‘a new generation of foot comfort.’ (Did you hear that? It was my back, sighing with relief.)
Emily Smith is a podiatrist and the brains behind the new life-changing insole brand Emily Braidwood. It’s clear that Emily has taken her mission to make all shoes comfortable for every woman seriously. She’s gone to the trouble of patenting a cushioning technology which not only makes heels more comfortable, it provides better foot ergonomics to prevent the host of health problems that can come with wearing many different styles of shoes.
In this interview with Emily Smith you’ll find out:
- How to tell when it’s time to toss a pair of shoes
- The health problems associated with wearing shoes past their use-by date
- What happens at a 7cm heel height
- How to care for your body while wearing slides, mules and heels
