Brides and Wedding Guests Discovered an $9 Trick for Wearing High Heels “Pain-Free”

Being in the thick of wedding season means likely wearing heels more often. For many, this can feel like a recipe for chronic foot pain induced by too-high stilettos, unsupportive footbeds, and lack of ankle support. While there are ways to make more comfortable heel choices for walking through grass at outdoor ceremonies or dancing the night away after a few glasses of Champagne, heels will always prove less comfortable than flat shoes. Thankfully, there are other ways to relieve this dilemma, like with Aspercreme’s Max Strength Lidocaine Pain Relief Dry Spray. This miracle-working pain-relieving spray is just $9 (on sale for October Prime Day!) and may answer all your pain-relief prayers. 

Aspercreme Max Strength Lidocaine Pain Relief Dry Spray

This spray features four percent lidocaine, a powerhouse ingredient that offers super-strong pain relief without a prescription, making it easy to manage foot ailments. Just spray this unscented product anywhere you’re aching and watch in awe how it numbs your pain without leaving any stickiness or residue behind. Plus, the spray applicator lets you make it through weddings without getting your hands dirty like you would using gels or ointments requiring you to squeeze the product from a tube. 

Brides’ Senior Editorial Director Gabby Rello Duffy is also a major fan of this Aspercreme spray, saying that she used it "just before taking photos on [her] wedding day” as a preventative measure, noting she was shockingly “pain-free until changing into [her] reception shoes.” Duffy now “swears by” it and recommends it “to every bride-to-be and wedding guest.” She says: “It's the easiest way to ensure you can dance all night long.” Another bride who gave this product a five-star rating noted that she and her bridesmaids “used this throughout [her] wedding day,” calling it a “must-have if [you want] to wear heels for an extended period of time.” 

Another shopper, who was a bridesmaid at their friend’s wedding, said this spray was a “hit with the bridal party.” Another bride used it on their wedding day and was “convinced [it’s] actually magic.” Considering the low price point, mess-free application, and extreme effectiveness, it’s safe to say the whole Brides team will add this spray to their Amazon carts before any upcoming weddings.
