Dr. Scholl's for Her Cozy Cushions Review!

I was super excited when I opened up my Rose Vox Box from influenster and saw these show inserts from Dr. Scholl's for her. I thought these would be the perfect thing for the cold winter weather here in Southeast michigan. What better way to keep my feet extra toasty and dry then to pop these cozy inserts into my shoes.

Well, I popped them in to a pair of boots I just recently purchased from Justfab, and thought all was well. Until I tried to put my foot into the boot. The added padding in to boot from the insert made the area around my toes quite tight and uncomfortable. I thought that the cushion just needed to be broken in and shape to my foot and it would be more comfortable so I wore it for a few hours. Ouch! Still tight. So I thought I would try it in another pair of shoes. I have a pair of looser fitting shoes that I slipped them into and it was much better. So, if you're going to use these, I would suggest buying your shoes half a size up to accommodate the extra bulk. Once I put them into shoes that were a bit bigger I liked them a lot. They were very comfortable and kept my feet nice and toasty and dry for the time that I wore them. I like that you can easily slip them into and out of different shoes. Overall I am pleased with them, I just wish they didn't add the extra bulk, because it makes it hard for me to fit them into some of the shoes I already own!

Dr. Scholl's For Her High Heel Insoles Review

When I received the Dr. Scholl's For Her High Heel Insoles in my influenster sunkissed voxbox, I did not have high hopes. I own a few pair of high heels. I NEVER wear them. I prefer flats. Don't get me wrong, I love the way that high heels look. I do not, however, love the way that high heels feel. Let's face it, most high heels just straight up hurt! They make the balls of your feet throb. They squeeze and rub the backs of your heels the wrong way. And make it pretty much impossible to walk. So I decided to put the High Heel Insoles to the ultimate test and put them into my most uncomfortable heels and see how they work!

The heels

These gorgeous super tall beauties I picked up at Target last fall to wear to a ball that I attended while I was in Chicago. I wore them for all of about 30 minutes at the ball before I took them off and went barefoot the rest of the night because these suckers KILLED my feet. They have since then sat in my closet tormenting me because I love the way they look but just can't handle the way they feel. 

So I popped the Dr. Scholl's For Her High Heel insoles into them. The first thing I notices was that they were slim enough to fit into the shoe without showing, or hanging off the edge or anything, which is good. These are supposed to stick into your shoes, but be easily removable so they don't damage your shoe. They didn't stick all that well in my shoe. The fabric on the inside of my shoe must have hindered their performance there. But once I got my foot in there they were fine.

I walked around in these shoes for quite a while, and I gotta say, the insoles did help a bit! They cushion the ball of the foot so they don't immediately start screaming, and the heel as well! I have bigger feet (size 10!) and I still found that the insole was long enough to cushion the parts of the foot that need it the most.

Now, these aren't miracle workers. These shoes still hurt after a while. But it took longer for my feet to protest, and so I was able to get a bit more wear out of them, then without the insoles. Are these things miracle workers? No! But they do help! The shoes were much more comfortable with the insoles than without, at least.

Maybe on a less terribly uncomfortable pair of shoes these would be the miracle I was looking for. Overall, I do think that the Insoles helped, but not enough to make these beautiful shoes wearable enough. Back in the closet they go!
