Shoepidity: The act of wearing ridiculously uncomfortable shoes just because they look good.
Shoes. A classic case of the beauty frenemy.
They're our friends because they complete our outfits, make us feel fabulous and fulfill the very real need to buy all the shoes. They're our enemies because, well, they make us shoepid. We choose style over the health of our feet.
Come on, we've all done it. Worn winklepickers when you need a wide fit at the best of time. Lived in cheapie ballet flats without so much as a pop sock on,and refused to throw them out when they stink. Trampled around in UGGs with no thought for ankle support. Walked from club to club and danced the night away in heels that made the sole of our feet burn. Worked standing up in shoes with soles so thin we felt every little jolt from the floor.
But we're women. We may suffer from shoepidity but we also know how to fix the pitfalls of our poor footwear choices.
We're putting Footcare Solettes to the test - and these could solve many of our footwear problems. These shock absorbent foam half insoles have a unique anti bacterial ultra fresh formula that kills odour causing bacteria. They absorb perspiration, keeping feet dry all day long and prevent slipping and friction.
We think they sound pretty good, but we need you to tell us your thoughts on them - yes, we're putting together a trial team. So why not tell us if you're shoepid? Do you buy shoes knowing they're not going to be the most comfortable for your feet?

High Heels - are they the ultimate beauty 'frenemy'?
Yes, I have shoepiditiy
Whilst I dont wear ridiculously high heels I still experience uncomfortable shoes at a lower level. These sound a great idea.
