But we all know what reality is like. Christmas is when things heat up, to fit in catching up with friends and family, end of year demands and did I mention shopping.
It's a busy time of year and you don't want your feet to let you down. Here are my top tips for protecting your feet from harm this Christmas.
Prepare ahead
Prepare ahead
Put a bit of thought into your day and match your shoes—and heels—to the amount of walking you'll be doing. My general rule is "the more walking you do, the lower your heel height and more comfortable your shoe should be".
Pack flats
If you're wearing high heels, keep a pair of flats on hand. Throw a pair in your car or your hand bag. There are some great styles that fold up to next to nothing. With so many last minute things to do, you never know what the day will bring, but at least you know you'll be floating through the day.

Gel inserts
Who said diamonds are a girl's best friend? Your new best friends are gel inserts! There's nothing like having their cushiony goodness to protect your toes and heels from rubbing. Capital Podiatry stocks a wide range of these products and you can also buy them from your local chemist.
Well-fitting shoes
Say good bye to the practice of buying a pair of shoes that almost fit! Buy shoes that fit you now, not shoes that you plan to stretch and wear in. Once you've lived through the pan of a badly-fitting pair of shoes, you understand!
