Rx for Your Soles (Feet)

You have found the perfect pair of shoes. It matches the jeans, or maybe the skirt you bought last week. And at the last minute you picked up a blouse at the boutique up the street. You’re ready to show-off the entire outfit, especially the high-heel peep-toe shoes you couldn’t live without.

It is time for a girl’s night out! Within an hour you’re calling for a doctor -- a doctor, that is, for your feet. Have you been there? When your feet are screaming, “get me out of these shoes?” (I have.)

You’re thinking, why you bought them. Of course, the shoes were gorgeous. That still did not change the fact that a cure is needed immediately. Stiletto Rx by Modern Vintage may have the prescription.

Just imagine a shoe that redistributes the weight on the bottom of your feet, which relieves the tingling sensation and pain. The insoles and mid-soles have a cushion material strategically positioned in various sensitive areas. Modern Vintage consulted Dr. Suzanne Levine, on the design of Stiletto Rx, so fashion-conscious women could experience the comfort of walking down their personal runaway.

The sophisticated 20s and retro 80s inspire the designs. It’s vintage with a modern twist. Whether you are the woman that needs a sexy stiletto, or the walking-heel type, I’m sure you’ll find the right fit. And you’ll always have the right prescription.
