Game changing, hope giving!
I've always loved wearing high heels, so much so that wearing flats hurt my feet. I've walked all night in Las Vegas in 5" heels with a 1" platform, I always wore them to work or out dancing, even found heeled lug soled boots to wear when I rode my Harley.
Then in 2014, I was abruptly knocked off my feet by an 8 days hospital stay, diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis, and 5 months of prednisone to heal. My joints hurt, part of UC symptoms, and I found wearing my heels harder on my knees and ankles. I stumbled upon Vivian Lou and gave it a shot. I put the insoles in my favorite pairs and the ones that hurt me but I loved. It was a game changer. I continued wearing heels until I was struck with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia in 2017. I've had to look longingly at my beautiful, large heel collection, hoping for a time I could wear them again. I've had to find cute trainers with a wedge or platform from Vince Camuto and Steve Madden to make myself feel better. Then I saw insoles for flats, heel cups, and now, Sport insoles! These make wearing flats and my stylish trainers much more comfortable. I just had surgery to repair a torn medial meniscus in my knee and recovery is going so well. This means that I am going to work my way back up to wearing my high heels sans foot pain. The Sport insoles, heel cups/flat insoles, lower heel insoles, then Couture insoles will be how I retrain my ankles to wear the heels I love. Sorry to write an essay, but I'm so excited to have hope that I can reclaim this part of me that I thought I'd lost due to my chronic conditions/pain. Thank you for an amazing, hope giving product for this high heel lover.
