A MUST-HAVE FOR WOMEN

This is a wonderful, useful book and I really recommend it for anyone -- even if your feet don't hurt yet! Much of what she concentrates on is describing conditions which can develop if you do not pay attention to them now and what you can do to avoid these problems later on. She is NOT someone who tells you never to wear heels -- but she does describe how to take care of your feet so you can minimize damage. A great book to have -- I am already putting a lot of her suggestions into action (new pads for my Jimmy Choos!) and doing foot exercises to strengthen my feet. Thanks Dr. Levine!
