Shoe pros share heel hack to stop footwear from rubbing, but not everyone’s convinced

WHEN it comes to wearing heels, everyone is always looking for different hacks to make them more comfortable.

But when the pros over at Ego took to Instagram to post a video sharing their top tip to stop shoes from rubbing, not everyone was convinced.

“Heel hack you need to try,” they wrote over the top of the clip.

They then showed a woman using a little pot of Vaseline – applying a generous amount of the petroleum jelly to the top of the toes and back of the heels.

“Here to save your feet babe,” they captioned the video.

But people in the comments section weren’t too sure about the ‘hack’.

“Vaseline makes your feet slippery. You’ll be walking like a chicken. Don’t do this,” one warned.

“She gonna slip and slide,” another added.

“You are gonna be sliding all over the side walk lol,” a third commented.

“Absolutely NOT……..,” someone else wrote.

“Y’all joking right?” another asked.

“I can feel her slipping the first 4 hrs,” someone else laughed.

But others used the comments section to reveal their favourite hacks to help with shoe pain.

“Getting a numbing cream or spray and thank me later,” one wrote.

“The real hack is lidocaine spray for pain. Idk bout the Vaseline,” another added.

“Better than this….smother your feet in ibuprofen gel half hour before you go out!” a third insisted.

While someone else suggested: “Just get insoles for heels y’all.”
