Gwyneth Paltrow’s $13 ‘Secret Weapon’ Is Copper Fit Arch Support Bands

For many people, the best feeling in the world at the end of the day is taking off a bra. However, for those of us with foot pain and bunions, even the sensation it relieves is topped by kicking up a pair of heels. With formal events, office dress codes, and personal style preferences a must, uncomfortable shoes are somewhat inevitable… but Gwyneth Paltrow has a surprisingly simple solution. On social media, Goop’s founder shared that she has a “secret weapon for avoiding sore arches” after a night out that you can buy at Amazon. Best of all, they’re on sale at Amazon for $13.

Copper foot arch relief plus band

Providing a snug fit around the midfoot and arch, the Copper Foot Arch Relief Plus Band reduces discomfort caused by high arches, flat feet and plantar fasciitis. By compressing the area, these adjustable bands minimize much of the inflammation and swelling provoked by unsupportive running shoes. They’re thin enough to fit into almost any shoe, and are made from sweat-wicking fabric infused with copper to reduce odor.

In addition to Paltrow, many Amazon reviewers swear by these sleeves for pain management. In fact, some call them a “life saver.” They “relieved my plantar fasciitis pain so quickly,” wrote one Amazon reviewer, adding that he was able to walk for the first time in weeks without pain. Another fan who struggled with pain from flat feet for years noted that he could endure a 10-hour workday on “hard concrete” thanks to these sleeves.

The pain “disappeared almost immediately”, he explained, explaining that it felt like “walking on a foam cushion”. A third buyer agreed that they experienced “great pain relief” within the first three days of wearing them, and stated that they are suitable for wearing with “slippers, shoes, sandals and just socks”.

Whether you have a big night planned or just want to avoid everyday foot pain, these bands are worth a try. They’re on sale at Amazon for $13 a pair.
