My Stiletto Saviour

November 2, 2009 Michelle fashion, Shoes

As a mid-western girl living abroad in Sweden, I find myself clinging to any flats or wedge heel shoes — this city is riddled with cobblestones.  I picked only my favorite shoes to bring with me because I only had 3 suitcases when I moved overseas.  For 8 months, ALL of my cute shoes remained in the closet.  That is, until I came home to the US for a visit and found these: http://thesolemates.com/

Discreet and easy to use, the SoleMates High Heeler™ attaches easily to most stiletto and kitten heels. By increasing the surface area on the base of the heel, it reduces the pressure on this area and prevents the heel from sinking into grass or falling into cracks!

The patented design of the SoleMates High Heeler™ is mechanically engineered to fit snugly on most heels and yet the flexible material grips securely without damaging the heel or compromising the aesthetics of the shoe.

I don’t care who you are; you have a use for these. City grates, grass, cobblestones, or just simply keeping your best shoes in tip-top shape — these are a shoe LIFE SAVER!

They even ship internationally…. so considerate!!  Thank you Sole Mates!

The Death of a Heel

October 13, 2009 Michelle fashion, Shoes

It’s a sad dreary day in more ways than one! I live in the South where we are experiencing mass amounts of rain. Every time I look out the window, rain, rain, and rain! Now normally I don’t mind the rain because I have an umbrella, rain boots, and/or coat. Today was not one of those days. I didn’t expect the sky to open; I expected sprinkles, so I dressed cute in heels, pants, and cardi.

As I went to the grocery store during lunch, I managed to step in a puddle near the door that was mid-calf deep, soaking my heels and the bottom ¼ of my pants. It was literally as if I dunked my feet into a bath. When I got under covering, I had to take off my black patent pumps and pour out the water. Normally, I’m very careful about what shoes I wear when it’s raining so as not to soak them. Today was just a freak accident.

These heels are soaked completely through. In between the lining, padding, everywhere. So I’ve taken them off for now, hoping against hope they will dry out and be ok. But I’m pretty sure they are dead. Too waterlogged to continue!! And this pair is in my top 5 of favorite shoes! *sigh* Hope for the best, but in the mean time I’m going to search for some new ones, just in case!

What happened when your favorite shoes were ruined? Are they replaceable?
