And why should anyone who wears heel be excited about it?

You know heels were first worn by royalty. They were popularized by the French King Louis XIV and the upper classes who used high heel shoes to make themselves look larger than life. A person of wealth was known as “well heeled.”

Some people say that royal men were the first people to wear high heels and women started wearing them to appropriate masculine power --who knows?  The bottom line is that now most people who wear high heels are women who suffer for the style.

There have been many attempts to design a “comfortable” high heel. Just today on a podiatry listserv I read about a podiatrist who loves high heels and after her residency in reconstructive foot surgery has designed her own line of high heels. Having practiced podiatry for over 30 years I believe that experience in reconstructive foot surgery is not really helpful in shoe design. Even if this new surgically trained podiatrist did design a fantastic shoe – what would you do with all the shoes you already have – and love?

Heel ho has the answer. Heel Ho is a small insole that fits into your favorite dress shoes. Heel Ho simply makes your favorite shoes more comfortable! Heel ho was designed by Tina Goodman– who has worn heels for years and has a practical, entrepreneurial mind. She found the best cushioning material – medical grade poron and made it in an anatomical shape which is infinitely more effective than other cushions. Heel- Ho simply blow out of the water the ‘ball of foot’ cushions sold in drug stores!

I am proud to apply my thirty years of practical professional podiatry experience to help Heel Ho design the next generation of outstanding foot comfort products! Stay tuned!
