"Dancing With the Stars" Judge Carrie Ann Inaba Joins Forces with DR. SCHOLL'S(R) FOR HER HIGH HEEL INSOLES to Show Women They Can Wear Their Highest Heels Without Missing a Beat
KENILWORTH, N.J., May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Schering-Plough Corporation (NYSE: SGP) today announced the launch of new DR. SCHOLL'S(R) FOR HER High Heel Insoles, unique insoles that help prevent foot aches and pains in high heel shoes. These insoles have an ultra-soft arch cushion that shifts pressure off the ball of foot to deliver all-day comfort. DR. SCHOLL'S(R) FOR HER High Heel Insoles fit into shoes without crowding toes or making the shoes feel tight, and the clear gel design remains virtually invisible even in strappy sandals.
To launch the new product, the makers of DR. SCHOLL'S FOR HER are partnering with "Dancing with the Stars" judge Carrie Ann Inaba to act as a brand ambassador and to show women that they can comfortably wear their high heels all day or all night. To share her dancing expertise, Inaba is hosting the DR. SCHOLL'S FOR HER Dance Studio online. Available at ABC.com, consumers can watch as Inaba provides insider tips for dancers of all skill levels to maximize their dance and workout routines.
"As a dancer, choreographer and TV host, I'm on my feet all day and know how painful high heels can be, but I love high heels too much to give them up," said Inaba. "Thankfully, there's no need to sacrifice style for comfort with my new secret weapon -- DR. SCHOLL'S FOR HER HIGH HEEL INSOLES. Now I can last all day in heels without missing a beat!"
DR. SCHOLL'S FOR HER High Heel Insoles are part of a full product line designed specifically for women's fashionable shoes. "High-heel shoes dramatically limit the mobility of the feet and reduce the shock-absorbing ability of the heel and arch. In designing this insole, we studied how a woman's weight is shifted away from the heel and arch toward her forefoot when wearing high heels, which commonly results in ball-of-foot pain," said Charlie Lundy, research and development director for DR. SCHOLL'S FOR HER. "We developed the new High Heel Insoles to help shift pressure from the ball-of-foot back toward the arch and heel to make even high heel shoes comfortable."
The full line of DR. SCHOLL'S FOR HER products is available at food, drug and mass stores nationwide. For more information, visit www.drscholls.com.
