Oh, I know you know how awful it is to get all dressed up for an event, put on those pretty shoes, and dread the pain that will likely soon follow.

Here’s my tip to help your feet hurt less for these longer events, like weddings, galas, parties, etc.

Wear two pairs of shoes.
No, not at once. 
I mean one, after another.

This past weekend, I attended my brother-in-law’s wonderful wedding and wore sandals I specifically bought for the occasion that were comfortable and appropriately sparkly. 🙂

But I also brought another pair of sandals with me to the reception. Comfortable, without sparkle, black, and simple.

After close to 6 hours in my glittery sandals, my feet began to tell me they were not anywhere near as happy as the Happy Couple were.

Since there were about two more hours left in the reception, plus the ride home, I pulled out my spare sandals and made the switch.

And guess what happened??

Nobody noticed! But my feet went ahhhhhh.

When you switch your shoes, your feet feel relieved, and you’re ready to hit the dance floor…again.

PS My husband was the best man, and the ceremony was a Catholic Mass, which is why I was in those shoes for so many hours.
