She was on Jessie and Lennie Ware’s Table Manners podcast when she shared her top tip, after Lennie asked her: “Are you wearing stilettoes throughout the whole show?”
Vanessa then replied: “If you put those corn socks, like those toe tubes that are cushioned, on your third and fourth toe.
“If you do your third and fourth toe together, it makes your feet more narrow and it cushions where the pressure is.
“So you can wear high heels all day long. That’s my tip and it actually works!

“You bind them up, put your heels on and you will not feel any pressure, which is what kills you in the high heels.
“Thank you for that tip. All the Christmas parties, everyone needs to know,” Claudia laughed.
And considering you can get a huge pack of the cushioned toe piece on Temu for less than a fiver, the hack won’t break the bank either.
“Everyone needs to know this!” the podcast hosts captioned the video.
And people in the comments section were immediately thankful for Vanessa’s advice.
“Saving this!!” one wrote.
“I’m 38 and I never wear heels anymore!”
“I needed this advice. Thank you mother,”another added.
“My grandmother swore by this!” a third said.
“I wear mine like that as well. Work like a charm,” someone else insisted.
“And I am seeing customers the entire day.
“Wow.. amazing tip!! Gonna try it if I ever wear heels again anytime soon!”
“Need to try that immediately,” another insisted.
As someone else said: “I’ve been doing that for years – life saver!”
“Beauty and brains! What a fabulous tip, thanks Vanessa!” another praised.
“Best advice to women everywhere!! Wish I heard this back in the 80’s,” someone else admitted.
