Each foot contains 250,000 sweat glands.  Your feet are the most perspiring part of your body, in 1 day each foot can produce more than a pint of sweat!!!

Wow, that is a lot of sweating…

Purchasing mid price point rubber boots rather than expensive ones enables you to change your boots more frequently.

Don’t go too cheap though as some value retailers use cheaper materials such as plastic.  Unknown to consumers (and often the retailers), plastic footwear can contain harmful levels of chemicals, dangerous to both human health and the environment! 

Look after your tootsies and keep your feet dry.

BBC Dragons’ Den star Theo Paphitis says...

“After nine intense and fun packed series working with the BBC and the Dragons’ Den team, sadly it’s time for me to say for the final time “I am out”.

This has not been an easy decision, or one that I have taken lightly, but with the workload involved in growing my exciting successful new lingerie brand Boux Avenue, both in the UK and internationally, along with my recent purchase of the Robert Dyas retail chain, and the running of 240 Ryman Stationary shops, the time felt right to give up my seat, stop breathing fire and allow someone else to enjoy the wonderful experience of being a Dragon on the BBC hit TV show, Dragons’ Den.

So, it just leaves it for me to say thank you to all past and present Dragons, the brilliant production teams that made the show what it is, and of course the BBC for allowing me to participate in the first place.

Thank you Auntie, I am out.

P.s. A big good luck to the new dragons!”

You will be greatly missed Theo…but you’ll be pleased to know he is very much ‘still in’ when it comes to WedgeWelly. 

Theo Paphitis says "The WedgeWelly is a very exciting product, it's been designed to be both practical and stylish. It elevates the foot by 1½ inches, however gives the illusion of a higher, more sophisticated looking heel."

Specialists warn 90% of people should not wear UGG style boots.

Your arches lower during walking, and if the arches are not supported, micro-tears appear.  Micro tears can lead to the painful condition plantar fasciitis. 

Now I’d never heard of “plantar fasciitis” until recently, so it surprised me to learn that 1 in 10 people actually suffer from this form of foot disease in the UK!  

I love my UGGS, but I think I’m going to give them a rest for a couple of months and prance around in my WedgeWellys.  Perfect timing anyway with all this snow :D

Did you know that when you get pins and needles in your feet, this is causing nerve damage?

Some forms of footwear can be damaging to health?

Shoes which are too narrow, can cause a variety of health problems, including Morton’s neuroma and Hammer toes. See the video for gruesome images!!

80% of people wear the wrong fitting shoes, and 78% of adults have suffered with a foot problem.

Have you ever been out with your friends and found that your new shoes are crushing your toes? This means your feet are in big trouble!

Prolonged wearing of shoes which are too narrow, deprives your nerves of oxygen.

If your new shoes are giving you pins and needles – TAKE THEM OFF!

Pins and needles are one of the symptoms of Morton’s neuroma, a growth of nerve tissue.

Whilst none cancerous, this type of nerve damage can be very painful and disabling, and is 10 times more common in women, due to the types of shoes that we wear.

So what are the benefits of Splash by WedgeWelly?
