Last weekend I went to a wedding reception, and knowing I'd be on my feet quite a bit and with being in new shoe's, I thought I would go prepared. So, as well as breaking in my shoes by wearing a thick pair of socks (how unattractive) I also picked up a pair of Scholl Party Feet Gel Cushions. They had been recommended to me in the past by friends of mine, so they were something I had in mind to buy.
**** Where do I buy them, how much do they cost? ****
Purchased from my local Superdrug store, for one pair of gel cushions, I paid £4.99 which I thought was quite reasonable. I was expecting them to cost slightly more. They were easy to find, located in the foot care section.
*** What are they supposed to do? ***
Placed inside of your shoe, they claim to prevent the burning pain which you get on the balls of your feet which you can get from either wearing high heeled shoes, or being on your feet for a prolonged length of time.
*** Packaging ***
The packaging is very young and trendy looking - based on white and purple colours with a picture of a strappy high-heeled sandal. This isn't hard to miss.
Party all night, & shop all day being there slogan! Just how true would this be I wondered. I hoped, very true!
Easy to open packaging, inside 2 palm sized clear white cushions. One side is smooth, the other side has a few nobbly bits on etc, I assume so that it doesn't have a slippery surface when placed inside of the shoe.
On the packaging it states that these are ideal for all high heals and sandals. I put these to the test with my brand new pair of high heeled shoes.
*** Instructions of use ***
Instructions are clear telling you which way the gel cushion should face in your shoe. They are also shaped to fit into your left and right shoe, so isn't fiddly or confusing whatsoever.
*** Assembling ***
Once I put these inside my shoe, and got them into the right position, I found they were quite good at staying put. They didn't budge one little but. One size fits all as well, so no matter how big or small you shoes are you wont have a problem with them.
*** Put to the test ***
When I first put my feet into my shoes, the gel cushions felt very squidgy beneath my toes. I wondered if this was going to become an irritation. I also immediately noticed how tight my shoes felt. I literally felt that my feel were being strangled. But, put strangled feet against 'end of night extremely sore and painful feet' - well, strangled feet won hands down.
As the night went on, I forgot about my strangled feet/ squidgy feelings. And my feet had a good night too. I can honestly, hand on my heart say, I never once felt any pain in my feet. Now this is very very unusual for me, and never happens. So in all honestly, I have to say that yes, these gel cushions do work. They do exactly what they say they should.
I was pleased that they didn't move around/ curl up etc while I was wearing. I know I have had this problem with in-soles in the past, and was hoping it wouldn't be the case with the gel cushions, and luckily not.
My only downfall with them, is that because they made my feet feel tight within my shoes, my feet felt really hot all night. To the point where I very nearly just kicked them off. I am confident though that given time, my shoes will stretch to accommodate the gel cushions, and will therefore be faultless!
*** Keeping them clean ***
This is the really really easy part, a quick wash under the tap with some warm soapy water, and they were left fresh and new. Scholl advise that these are washable and re-usable ~ so they wont fall apart once submerged in water!
**** Do I recommend them? ***
I most certainly do!
I think £4.99 is a bargain for these, after all, they are re-usable so therefore you will get your money's worth.
