Foot Petals - Anyone Used Them?

jacL · Coach

I have never tried the strips but I have tried the "tiptoes," and really really like them. I think the strips would work well.

Yep, I have them. Shecky's shopping parties include them in our goodie bags.

I like them a lot actually, and they don't make your strappy shoes look ugly :)

I've been using them about a year. I have "falling" longitudinal arches and these work the best as metatarsal pads. I know others who like other types of pads better. Depending on the shoe, I cut the footpetals to shape. They make it possible for me to wear many styles I otherwise couldn't wear.

I bought a pair of Dr Scholl's gel pads for sandals that have popped up in ads all over the place. I haven't tried them yet because the weather is all screwed up here in the Bay Area and I can't even wear my new spring clothes, much less sandals!

I have bought the strips, but haven't tried them yet.

Thanks girls for your reviews! That helps a lot and I'm so happy to know that these work. I can get the Steve Madden shoes I've wanted and have them stay on my heel!
