Anyone who knows anything about high heels will know the answer: it’s a high-heel pad. Small foam or gel patches like these used to be in a lot of women’s shoes. They gave feet much-needed support and cushioning.
High-heel pads do a simple but useful job: they ease the pressure on your feet, which makes wearing heels for long periods of time easier. A lot of women found that these pads helped them get through a long night out without getting sore feet.
This object is interesting because it shows the gap between generations. High-heel pads are a tool that everyone who wore heels as a child knows right away. This item, on the other hand, confuses a lot of younger people who might like more casual shoes.
