"To get your week started off on the right foot, I&amp;#x27;ve got an I-can&amp;#x27;t-believe-it fashion story to share with you. I first heard about pedorthist , Bob Schwartz, (no relation to me!) a few weeks ago, when a juicy rumor came my way that there was a &amp;quot;shoe doctor&amp;quot; who performs &amp;quot;surgery,&amp;quot; transforming sky-high uncomfortable heels into super-comfy, slipper-like shoes--all without scarring or screwing up your shoe. Sounds too good to be true, right?That&amp;#x27;s what I thought too. But since I&amp;#x27;m always up for investigating quirky fashion finds--like the shoe wheel, skirts made out of couch fabrics, and tupperware parties for bras--I decided to track down this shoe doctor. I scheduled an appointment with Bob Schwartz, a foot specialist who&amp;#x27;s been in the business since the &amp;#x27;70s. He and his team took a pair of sparkly heels (that I splurged on last year but never wear because they pinch my feet (a fact I didn&amp;#x27;t realize until I walked around in them for more than ten minutes!) and after a lot of tracing, examining, and taking pictures of my foot, they determined that my foot was a full inch wider than my shoe, which, explains why I was in all of this pain for so long! As you can see, that&amp;#x27;s an outline of my foot matched up to my &amp;quot;before&amp;quot; Manolo. Ouch! The shoe is so much smaller than my foot! After leaving my shoes at Eneslow for about a week, I returned yesterday to find that they had been transformed to perfectly fit my foot. They were widened an inch, given memory foam insoles, had the heel cut down by a quarter of an inch (watch the video below--you can&amp;#x27;t tell), and finally, were given a thicker sole. So the question you&amp;#x27;re thinking is: Can you see a difference? And, thankfully, the answer is No, you can&amp;#x27;t! As you can see from last picture, I&amp;#x27;m wearing the &amp;quot;after&amp;quot; shoe and they look (and feel) amazing . They&amp;#x27;re honestly, the most comfortable shoes I&amp;#x27;ve ever owned and worn! Bob&amp;amp;#8217;s company Eneslow, has been a one-stop shot for orthopedics and comfort shoes for over 100 years. The main floor is strictly filled with comfort shoes but the basement is where the shoe makeovers for fashionistas (and people with serious foot issues) takes place. I even got to see Bob&amp;#x27;s latest Prada and Louboutin orthotics! To see the entire process from start to finish, watch my video that I took with my new FlipShare Flip Video camera (it was so unbelievably easy to use) here: Crazy right? A shoe surgery like this will set you back about $100 a shoe (which is spendy I know, but it can make those painful splurges turn into your go-to shoe!). And for those of you who A) can&amp;amp;#8217;t get to NYC and B) don&amp;amp;#8217;t want to spend your dough on a shoe surgerty, try some Foot Petals or gel in-steps to help cushion your tootsies. Not exactly a total shoe makeover, but it helps! How many pairs of shoes do you own that you don&amp;#x27;t wear? Take our survey! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
