If you’ve spent your life in heels, you’ll know how good it feels to kick them off at the end of the day. For those of us who wear bras, it’s the same feeling - that ‘ahhhhh’ moment when you walk in the door at the end of a long day, fling off your bra, kick off your heels, flop onto the couch and sink your feet into a foot bath.

They might look good, but heels are painful to wear day in and day out, and studies have proven that they’re no good for your back, your body alignment, and the muscles in your feet. High heels structurally shorten your calf muscles, and they change the kinetic chain of muscles and movement in your legs. If you work in heels and you’re feeling foot pain, lower back pain, hip pain or leg pain, it’s no wonder. Stilettos are not a sustainable option for your body long term.

And life’s too short to spend it hobbling around in pain. There’s nothing quite like the sweet relief of swapping those stiff, unforgiving heels for a pair of Slappas that actually support your feet. You’ll swap pain for pain-free, and you’ll be doing your body a favour. Your feet, knees, hips, and back will thank you for making the switch.

We’re not telling you to quit your job if heels are part of your uniform, but Slappas can definitely help reduce the foot pain and discomfort associated with spending long days on your feet in heels.

Give your feet the break they deserve, kick off those stilettos and slip into something more sustainable for your body.
