A Summer Without Toe Jam
Innovative Ladies Open Shoe Insoles Give Sweaty, Slippery and Squishy Feet
the Boot
Let’s face it – during the hot summer months our feet get
hot, sweaty and slippery in our shoes. Even sandal devotees cannot avoid the
inevitable “squish” as the mercury rises – and with “squish” comes blistering.
All too often, fashionistas far and wide are relegated to flip-flops over
dressier shoe options, choosing comfort over cuteness during warm weather.
That’s why SummerSoles.com, a foot care innovator based in Dallas, Texas, has
introduced “Summer Soles” - chic, one-of-a-kind fabric insoles for sandals and
other open shoes – just in time for the impending season.
Summer Soles are
for the millions of women who suffer from sweaty feet, or experience “slippery
discomfort” with leather or synthetic footwear. These cozy fabric liners use
natural, soft, durable wool as recommended by podiatrists for controlling both
sweat and odor, which also results in less wear and tear and extends shoe life.
The removable peel-and-stick fabric strips are the first open shoe liners
designed specifically for women who want stay-dry comfort, particularly those
with plantar hyperhidrosis – sweaty feet. Summer Soles, which are often
described as “walking on carpet”, provide edge-to-edge shoe coverage, are
completely removable with no sticky residue, and come in a range of colors for
nearly any women’s open shoe style. All you have to do is snip the heel to size,
peel and place.
According to The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists,
there are more sweat glands per inch in our feet than anywhere else in the body
[250,000 to be exact], as their function is to keep the skin moist and therefore
supple. Unfortunately, many shoes are not created with this in mind as leather,
plastic and synthetic soles simply can’t absorb, nor release, the sweat produced
in a given day, which can be upwards of ½ a cup.
“Sweaty feet are a very real problem for women,” said
Shannon McLinden, SummerSoles.com founder. “According to The International
Hyperhidrosis Society, hyperhidrosis, alone, affects nearly 8 million people, or
3% of the U.S. population. Then there are the untold millions who simply
hate the ‘summer squish’. This solution is long overdue, and we’re thrilled that
Summer Soles are helping so many women improve their quality of life.”
"Beyond the obvious discomfort caused by sweaty feet, or
hyperhidrosis, the condition has other devastating effects on the millions
of Americans who suffer in silence," said Lisa J. Pieretti, International
Hyperhidrosis Society Executive Director. "We applaud SummerSoles.com's effort
to help women alleviate the isolation and embarrassment often caused by this
condition."
Summer Soles are available with free shipping through
August for U.S. residents.
