DreamWalk with Heidi Klum

Are comfortable high heels an urban myth? Together with Heidi Klum, Dr. Scholl's launched DreamWalk, a line of products aimed to make he most fashionable footwear more friendly.

It is no secret that the Manolo Blahniks and Louboutins of the world look fierce.  However, even designer Jimmy Choo admitted that his shoes were not meant to be worn more than 2 hours.  Countless medical studies back that up, yet in the fashion world, sexy shoes are here to stay.

So here is where old-school footwear specialists Dr. Scholl's comes in.  Some of the new helpers include High Heel Insoles. These make stilettos more comfortable via gel arch supports that take the pressure off the ball of the food and wicking fabric that keep feet dry.  There are DreamWalk Sole Expressions Heel Liners that prevent blisters and help fit. There are lots of cushions, creams and files to help your feet after taking those shoes off too.

As a supermodel and tv host, Heidi Klum has definitely spent plenty of hours in painful shoes.  The launch event even had monster-like representations of how bad shoes feel (which actually would make for fun footwear).

I know I can't part with my favorite pumps.  At least I know I have allies to keep me sane.
