I've long been a fan of Lift Kits adjustable footwear insoles for men and women, which can add up to 1.25 inches to your height just by placing them inside your shoes ($26.95 & up, myliftkits.com). Now, there's a new kid on the block. Launched in the U.S. this December, "Say Hello To Longer Legs" invisible heels add 1.5-inches to your natural height with the help of memory foam.

Sock company Sheec now offers a new kind of bandless sock designed to fit your feet snugly without any tension (i.e. no elastic). They can also be rolled up or down based on the style of shoe you're wearing. ($5.25, sheecs.com)

No slip solution

During icy winters you have 2 choices: ruin a chic ensemble with clunky snow boots, or wear pretty shoes and risk slipping. That's why one woman invented Mynxx, rubberized ice grips that you slide on to the bottom of riding boots, ballet flats or any other slim shoe style. They have tiny, stainless steel spikes for traction and come with a carrying case so you can pop them off and store in your handbag when you get inside. ($38, shopmynxx.com)

Whether it's a rainy commute, a ski vacation or just a walk in the snow, soaking wet boots that never seem to dry are an all too common winter weather problem—especially if you're traveling and only have one pair with you. Remedy the situation with portable boot dryers. Take them on vacation with the family, leave in your foyer or mudroom for house guests or even leave them in your office. ($39.95, llbean.com)
