We're making New Year's resolutions left and right, it seems, but one we really want to concentrate on this year is to take better care of our feet.
After all, as Bette Midler once famously said, "Give a girl the correct footwear and she can conquer the world." But with our vow in mind, we're amending these words to, "give a girl the right shoe inserts and she'll turn any street into a runway."
Our fearless leader Arianna Huffington has been pretty persuasive at convincing us to swap our stilettos for more sensible flats, but we still face discomfort no matter the shoe height. In effort to walk proudly and without pain, we've found seven foot relief products to save our soles and arches.
