Well the party season will be upon us before we know if as we all head towards Christmas.  I received a new product called the After Party Shoe from Redfoot - so I thought I'd give them a whirl.  I had a lot of local leafleting to do (sadly I don't really go to all night parties any more).  So I decided to inflict sore feet on myself by walking 90 minutes in high heels posting leaflets through doors.  What I do for Gadgetspeak - I must be mad. 

So now here I am sitting in my comfy, podiatrist designed, After Party Shoes.  They are a soft and lightweight pump which fold in half so they can slip easily into a little carry case and then into your party bag.  When folded the pair of shoes are just a little bigger than my purse and did fit into my reasonably small bag.   The upper is soft material and the bottom is a waterproof shoe sole.

Yes they are comfy, and looking at the website they come in a very large range of fashionable styles and fabrics - for business, party and holiday wear.  I've often had sore feet after shopping and a long day at the office, so they could be just as useful then as after a party.

My only question - what do you do with the shoes you've taken off that won't slip into your bag?   Better take a spare plastic bag with you as well!!!

After Party Shoes are £25 and available on-line from http://www.redfootrevolution.co.uk/

What's more if you buy a pair in October £1 is donated to Breast Cancer charity The Pink Ribbon Foundation.
