The roses are blooming, the sun is shining, you’ve got your dress and hat sorted and shoes……………… oooh but will my feet survive.
Here’s some tips to get you through the day and home with your shoes still on your feet!
1. Choose a shoe that has contoured support through the arch of your foot as this will reduce pressure onthe balls of your feet.
2. A wedge style or block heel can be more comfortable and you’re less likely to sink into
the lawn when watching the race.
3. A buckle or a strap on your shoe holds the shoe to your foot; this way you won’t have to claw your toes to keep your shoes on your feet
4. Check out some of the gorgeous styles from Bared. Bared are designed by a podiatrist, taking into account all of the above.
