Wedding makeup expert shares shoe comfort secrets!
When preparing to attend a wedding most women are guilty of picking a shoe based on looks rather than comfort. Usually when this happens, you end up barefoot during the recital. This results in some unflattering pictures of you carrying your precious shoes in your hand instead of displaying them properly on your feet. Alternatively, you may have to suffer through the embarrassment of walking strangely during the wedding and grimacing instead of smiling as you try to hide the pain of wearing those delicate shoes. What do you do in this case? Well, a make-up wedding expert who has attended many weddings and tirelessly created flawless faces for the wedding party all while still wearing those tiny, strappy, wedding heels that are so popular offers secrets of ensuring your shoes will outlast the entire event.
Make-up Expert loves heels- Make-up expert, Kim Porter of New York is a definite shoe lover. This young beauty expert owns over a 100 pairs of shoes. She feels that an outfit is not complete without a pair of heels. Kim wears heels as high as 4 inches; she believes they enhance the legs on her 5 foot 2 inch frame. While she loves heels from all types of shoe designers, her favorites are from Steve Madden and Stuart Weitzman. This brazen young lady even dares to wear heels on the NY Subway system, which is a feat all by itself. While through the week, Kim works in the non-profit sector of public health, during her downtime you can find her offering new beauty product news on her blog or at a wedding creating stunning looks for brides and guests. She took a moment to share with women in the south, how she manages to keep her heels on during long weddings and cramped subway rides.
Insolias- Kim wholeheartedly embraces the use of Insolia shoe inserts as her secret weapon. Often, when parading around in shoes that are less than comfortable Kim has an Insolia shoe pad tucked inside her shoe. These inserts are not your typical shoe pad. Thankfully, they are designed to shift weight away from the ball of your foot. Kim has tried other pads and found that they only make your shoe feel tighter. Kim even reports feeling a burning sensation when wearing other shoe pads. In comparison, when Kim is wearing an Insolia insert her feet are able to withstand 10 hours in the highest of heels and her feet feel the same as when the day started. Some designers even offer their shoe with Insolias already built-in. Insolias’ are available on the Internet for 19.99 for a pack with three pairs. Alas, you are able to smile when the photographer comes around for the 100th time to take your picture during those candid wedding shots. As well, you may be able to ride the MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) in some of your highest heels if you tuck an Insolia pad inside.
Shoe Tips- Kim also finds her shoes are more comfortable if you wear them in the rain once or twice. She has also stuffed her shoes with wet newspapers overnight to stretch the shoe a little more.
