Tomorrow is the Academy Awards and the Red Carpet will be awash with women wearing fabulous shoes and sandals. Most will be wearing designer shoes and most are stilettos. Imagine wearing sky-high shoes (usually with a pointed toe) for more than 4 hours and having to walk around with them. Typically stilettos over 3 inches tend to hurt after a couple of hours. At the Academy Awards, those pricey designer heels can make you regret wearing them because your feet are hurting so much.
Recently, I saw an article in the NY Daily News about shoes that indicated that most women felt foot pain after wearing high-heeled shoes after 1 hour and 6 minutes!
If you’ve ever suffered foot problems from wearing a gorgeous pair of heels, you’re certainly in good company. Most women report that high heels start to hurt after one hour and six minutes, while 20 percent say that they can feel the pain after just 10 minutes.
Wearing high heels frequently and for too long a period of time can cause more foot problems (and potentially cause problems in the rest of your body) because the shoes are often too tight. Shoes revert to their original shape when they aren’t being worn. You have to wear your shoes for 2 hours plus to get them to truly stretch enough to fit your feet more accurately. Those shoes don’t remain that stretched out shape, as soon as you take your heels off, they start shrinking back to the original shape of the shoe. It means every time you wear high heels, pain is the price you pay for gorgeous shoes. What’s a girl to do? You suffer or you take your shoes to a shoe repair for stretching for a couple of days knowing full well the shoes will revert to the original size. Until now, there have been few options for you when you wear heels. Now there are Formé Shoe Shapers and these shoe shapers will change how you feel about your shoes and how they fit on your feet! The Formé Shoe Shapers are an invention developed by Maureen Stockton, founder and owner of Formé Shoe Shapers. You can learn about Maureen’s journey to creating these shoe shapers here.
Disclosure:
As a woman who has several pairs of heels and other shoes that always seem to be too tight despite having worn them many times, when the people of Formé offered me the chance to try out these Shoe Shapers, I jumped at it. The only way I can review a product like the Formé Shoe Shapers is to try them myself. I can’t tell you how great they are unless I tested the product. The product review wouldn’t be honest or authentic if I didn’t test them.
Formé Shoe Shapers are a new product that is innovation at its best.

Here’s a youtube video for you to see two women who typically wear high heels and they will demonstrate the difference between using Forme Shoe Shapers and not using them.
Perfect Shoe Fit in 1 hour !
Leather shoes expand when you wear them and shrink when you don’t. In fact, they continue to shrink until the next time you wear them. That’s why your shoes feel tight and pinchy when you put them on. It can take your feet 2 hours to force your shoes into shape again. Formé Shoe Shapers maintain the perfect shape of your shoes in-between wearings.
You insert the shoe forms into your shoes and then you adjust the sliding lever forward or backward to get the device to expand. That expanding device will stretch your shoes out in ONE HOUR! You will find even your oldest shoes can be adjusted to be larger so that you reduce foot pain as well as any wrinkling of leather or non-leather shoes. And you can use these Formé Shoe Shapers on any type of shoe.
REVIEW:
The Formé Shoe Shaper works beautifully. It’s very easy to use. Take the shapers out of the box, put the toe of the shaper into the shoe, then slide in the rest of the unit. You use the slider to expand the width of the toe box to your liking. You don’t have to max it out, but it does make sense to do so! I used to take shoes to a shoe repair for stretching and it could 2 or 3 days before I would get them back with the hope that they had been stretched really well. Thanks to the Formé Shoe Shaper, I don’t have to pay to have them stretched and I don’t have to take my shoes back repeatedly to get the stretch put back into them. They work within an hour and I used these on 3 different pairs of pumps that I hesitated to wear because the toe was so narrow. Now I don’t worry about it anymore because I have the Formé Shoe Shaper ! These will even work on my strappiest sandals. (Dolce & Gabbana strappy sandals, here I come!).
