Have you ever worn a pair of shoes that just hurt? All my heel wearing beauties out there, I know you feel me! Whether it’s for fashion, work, or the love of a sport, we’ve all been there – shoving our feet into shoes that are likely not the best, causing the dreaded foot pain. Foot pain stinks, and while I’m not suggesting that we start a barefoot revolution, I am suggesting that we need to show our feet a little love!

Our feet are made up of tons of bones and joints, all articulating and allowing us to walk, dance, and run. But, with more joints, means more opportunities for foot pain. So, get ready for an easy trick to keep your feet in tip-toe shape.

I’ve heard this called the, “yogi handshake”, or “the toe hug”, but I just call it darn right genius, because it leaves your feet feeling amazing! Here’s what you do:
