Tip Toes are Foot Petals that are shaped in the familiar shape that most of us used to draw flowers as children. Round, but with puffs that make it look like a little cloud. These flower-shaped cushions are used to keep your foot from sliding forward in your shoes. They cushion the ball of the foot and come in a variety of colors. You can match them to your shoes. Nine different colors and styles are available; black iris, buttercup, rose (pink), silver rose, white lily, leopard, tiger, zebra and the last one is rose.
Only these rose-colored Tip Toes are shaped like hearts. Foot Petals are supposed to prevent snagging and running
Foot Callous in your pantyhose. Customer reviews at Zappos reveal that customers were very happy with the cushioning ability of the product and the fact that they kept your foot from slipping forward in your shoe, however, I saw no one who mentioned them helping prevent snags and runs. Most snags and runs are caused by things like sharp nails, or brushing into something.
A foot pad is not going to stop this kind of snag or run. Sizing options don't apply to this product. They are all one size. Prices for one pair start at around $7 and you can buy three pairs starting around $15 at various online stores and retailers in the real world. The Foot Petals web site lists celebrity actresses who use their products, clearly stating that no celebrity endorsement is implied. While some of us won't even see the fine print of that, I hope you all have the common sense necessary to realize that just because the company got a pair of these into the hands of celebrities, doesn't mean that those celebrities endorse the product.
They might not even like it, they just get a lot of free products to try out and the companies hope to catch them wearing them or in this case, they just want to get them into the hands (or feet) of people who the average consumer will recognize and emulate. Bottom line to me is, they are affordable enough that trying out a pair for yourself isn't going to break the bank and then you will have first hand knowledge of the product and whether or not it will work for you.
