I’m a fan of high heels. I wear nothing less than 2.5 inch heels. I walk better in them and while many ladies feel that flats are more comfortable, I am just the opposite. I can’t walk in flat shoes, but extremely comfortable in high heels, platform shoes and wedges.
Then one day, when I had to endure quite a long walk, I felt the ball of my feet aching. And while waiting for my friend to pick up something at the mall, I popped in to a Guardian pharmacy to have a look. That’s when I chanced upon the foot gel cushions and got intrigued. Since I felt the ache at the ball of my feet, I decided to buy a pair of these gel cushions for the forefoot to try if they can help to relieve the ache in the feet.
The foot gel cushions are made of thermoplastic elastometer. Each pack comes with a pair of foot gel cushions and you can pick between the Scholl brand or the Guardian house brand. The Scholl ones cost about RM18+ per pack whilst the Guardian ones cost RM13+.
The foot gel cushions are very easy to use. Before inserting them into your shoes, you should clean the insides if your shoes and ensure that the shoes are dry. Then, just place these cushions where you need them to provide comfort. There is a smooth side and a textured side to the cushions, and you need to place the smooth side downwards onto your shoes so that you are stepping on the textured side.
I found immediate relief at the ball of my feet once I inserted these foot cushions into my shoes. Before I tried them, I used to think they probably won’t be much help but I’m clearly mistaken. Even if I don’t have any aches in the foot, I continue to wear these cushions in my shoes as they make me feel so much more comfortable in my heels.
Try them for yourself and do your feet a big favour by making them comfortable with these cushions!
