Just in, our favorite shoe-saving gals from SoleMates are donating 12.5% of all sales of the SoleMates High Heeler Set to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) to help take “steps” towards a cure. Why 12.5%?  This percentage represents the number of women who will develop breast cancer at some point during their life; a staggering 1 in 8.

The 3-pair High Heeler gift set retails for $29.85 and includes one pair of Narrow, Classic and Wide SoleMates in either all Clear or all Black. Each set will arrive in a limited edition pink organza tote bag with more information about the BCRF. As a woman owned, operated, and driven business, the ladies of SoleMates feel it is their obligation to raise as much awareness as possible for BCRF’s important, life-saving research. For more visit: http://thesolemates.com/project-pink/. Act soon, this thoughtful promotion ends on October 31 – and makes for a great stocking stuffer.

There is a new book out called Planning Your Wedding Sucks by Joanne Kimes and Elena Donovan Mauer. Planning Your Wedding Sucks provides a no-nonsense, non-frilly approach to budgeting, discussing finances with your partner, saving, finding the right vendor for your event and how to get a deal on a splurge. It also offers advice on how to take care of and stand up to your family and how to ensure you maintain your friendships throughout the planning process. This book also advocates how best to take care of your guests (we sure like that) and reminds brides that even the littlest details make a difference in everyone enjoying your big day. Planning Your Wedding Sucks is available on Amazon.

Monica Murphy and Becca Brown, the creators of the SoleMates High Heeler™, share with us how to help save your heels (and your cash) this wedding season. What a great way to keep your party shoes looking great (and in one piece)!

The SoleMates Wedding Guest Survival Tip:

Uncertain economy got you down? Feeling like the retail value of your closet is worth more than your 401K? Wishing the bride and groom would cancel the destination wedding or simply add, “Your presence is your present?” Unfortunately, it seems as though your friends’ weddings are recession proof.

You can be too! Introducing the SoleMates High Heeler™, the discreet, reusable, high heel accessory that extends the life of your shoes. Attach the High Heeler™ to your favorite wedding shoes and voila – you can walk on grass, cobblestones, decks, bricks, you name it! Heck, you might even be able to walk on water…check the fine print.

How on earth do these magical gems work?

The SoleMates High Heeler™ increases the surface area on the bottom on your heels. This reduces pressure and prevents the heels from falling victim to that nasty law….of gravity. Sounds like the word of scientists, doesn’t it? Amazingly the minds behind this product were none other than two women just like you.

“We were tired of ruining our heels on city streets and at outdoor parties,” said co-founder Becca Brown, “when we realized there wasn’t a solution, we decided to create it ourselves.”

Monica Murphy and Becca Brown are all too familiar with the hazards of wearing high heels and decided to take the necessary ‘steps’ to eradicate heel damage and discomfort and invented the SoleMates High Heeler™. Classmates in Business School and colleagues at Goldman Sachs, Monica and Becca created the sole-ution to wearing heels on unsupportive surfaces. Click here to learn more.
