When it comes to fashion, nothing else gets sacrificed for beauty more than our feet. Foot care is essential – both for today and for our health years from today.
You can put your best foot forward and step out in style.

Cocktail parties, weddings, business presentations
Conventional Style: Heels 2 ½ -5 inches
New Step: In all formal situations, you have shoe options that provide both style and comfort. A one to one-half-inch heel can be as elegant with your clothing, and far more comfortable as a higher heel. Add a gel pad under the ball of your foot to ease the pressure and reduce the friction of your foot slipping forward. A slightly lower heel makes it far more likely you’ll be able to smooze or dance the night away.
If you are planning on wearing a higher heel to a business presentation, wait to wear them until the last possible second. If possible, bring a second pair of shoes along to slip into when your presentation is over. Again, gel pads are essential.
If you’re in the wedding, an extra pair of shoes is a great idea. You’ll be in your heels for the picture-taking and through-out the ceremony – that can mean hours. Switch for the reception and dance if possible.
After a long time in heels, your feet will benefit from a short massage.
1. Wrap each foot in a warm, wet wash cloth.
2. Put a golf ball under each foot; roll them around.
3. Apply lotion.
Your feet deserve a little attention.
