Healthy Swellness: Damn Heels

Last week, I saw a girl walking in her tights, heels in hand, along Queen St. West in Toronto. And I felt her pain. I, too, once had to walk barefoot down the street because my stilettos were hurting my feet that much. It was not a proud moment.

What she and I needed was a pair of Damn Heels.

I’m no stranger to tucking a pair of emergency flats into my handbag — with some of the ridiculously high heels I wear, I never leave home without them. But Damn Heels (a pair of foldable ballet flats) come in a chic clutch that conveniently opens up into a tote (so you can tuck your heels into them).

(In fact, the discreet little packaging wowed several friends this weekend, and had them thinking I could MacGyver something else out of my handbag.)

With your social calendar filled with holiday soirees, investing in a pair now to save your pretty little feet would make good, healthy sense! Tucking a pair under the Christmas tree for your skycraper heel-loving bestie would make her pretty happy, too :)
