Treat High Heel Pain with Orthotics for Backless and Slingback High Heels and Sandals

One of the most difficult shoes to fit any sort of orthotic (prefab or custom) into is the shoe with no back. These include slingback high heels and sandals. Without a heel, it is almost impossible to get an orthotic to stay in place – making it difficult to treat high heel pain.

So we were very excited to see a new product designed specifically for these backless shoes. This relatively inexpensive OTC arch support has a reusable adhesive bottom so that they stay in place in these backless shoes and sandals. They will help anyone who experiences ball of foot pain, big toe joint pain, bunions or heel pain when wearing backless shoes.

The arch support is called the McConnell Slimfit Orthotics For High Heel Shoes and it is designed to fit all types of women's high fashion footwear, including high heel shoes, sandals, and boots – even slingbacks.

What makes these orthotics unique: The Slimfit Orthotics makes fitting orthotics into backless women’s high heels, stilettos and sandals much easier. Not only does it have the slimmest profile on the market, but it has an adhesive bottom so it will stick in place in backless and slingback shoes. The Slimfit device “disappears “under the foot making it the perfect solution for hard to fit footwear.

This dual density Slimfit Insole was designed by a podiatrist to provide support via a comfortably angled footbed that correctly aligns the metatarsals, thereby providing effective relief from Ball of Foot pain, as well as painful bunions, Morton’s neuroma, and calluses. The perfect solution if your high heels hurt.

Features and Benefits:

• Extra slim profile and flexible base provide for easy fit into most high shoes, stilettos, sandals, and boots.
• Transfers pressure off the ball of the foot. This weight shift improves body alignment and balance dramatically, reducing leg and lower back fatigue while reducing pressure on the ball of the foot.
• Adhesive on the bottom surface of this orthotic keeps it in place and reduces slippage. Adhesive bottom is reusable.
• Supports and realigns the foot.
• "Disappears" under the foot.

Slimfit Orthotics help relieve the symptoms and pain produced by:
• Wearing shoes, sandals, and boots with high heels.
• Metatarsalgia and metatarsal head pain of all kinds
• Sesamoid pain and sesamoiditis
• Bunions
• Morton's neuroma
