The Solemates

These little “solemates” saved my night this past weekend. I played the role of wedding coordinator for our beautiful friends’ wedding ceremony. I knew every detail; the colors, the florist, the band, the timing of the isle runner, the arrival of the guests. I learned over 30 new names so that I could address the family appropriately. I had the perfect dress chosen and the perfect suit laid out for Josh. I had all the documentation ready, the music was in order, but I forgot one small detail… the wedding was OUTSIDE!

We live 40 minutes from the reception venue and I didn’t want to drive home, change my shoes, which then would require an outfit change. Luckily there was a break between the ceremony and the reception. I had remembered that I had spotted these “solemates” at the checkout counter in DSW. This was the perfect opportunity to purchase and try! Can I just say, one of the best decisions of my month!

These little plastic heel covers are made to prevent sinking into the grass. It takes like four seconds and very minimal effort to just slide right on! Because the cover is thicker towards the bottom it adds some support to sole of your shoe- duh “solemates.” It gave my feet some comfort after being on them since 10:00 that morning. (Ceremony started at 6:00pm.) Another great plus about solemates is they protect my heels. These would be incredible if you lived in a city! I highly highly recommend these and for $10.00 why wouldn’t you get them!?
