Sandal Styles on Riviera Closest Thing
to Going Barefoot - Except for the Price Tag
Princeton,
NJ - April 19, 2005 -- This fashion season, delicate
glitter, crystals, shells and feathers adorn the sandals
of women on the Riviera who are willing to pay handsomely
for wispy, barely there works of shoe art from Europe's
top designers, including Prada, Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik,
Giuseppe Zanotti and Christian Louboutin.
It's all about flattering the foot and standing out from
the crowd. Christian Louboutin, whose signature is red
soles, has been quoted as saying "A man always remembers
a woman with red soles." Wearing shoes by these designers
requires complete confidence in the appearance of your
feet; they must be beautiful enough to withstand the attention
they're bound to get - which, of course, is the point.
Carol Buck, CEO of Xenna Corporation, says, "Sandals have
been in fashion for the last ten years and show no signs
of going out of style. Open shoes were once only worn
casually, but with the beautiful, high fashion styles
now available, they're seen virtually everywhere, and
are de rigor for formal occasions. Women's feet are definitely
in the spotlight and need to look baby-soft -- with sparkling
toenails to match."
Ms. Buck is an expert in this area. Her company, Xenna
Corporation distributes foot care products for calluses,
dry, cracked heels and soles and yellow, discolored toenails.
She notes, "Women who are willing to spend upwards of
$650 for sandal designs by these masters wouldn't dream
of wearing them with unsightly toenails or rough, callused
heels. Conversely, the popularity of sandals has created
a terrible dilemma for those who are embarrassed about
exposing toenails and feet that are unattractive."
Xenna's patented NonyX Nail Gel was introduced to solve
this problem. It exfoliates the dark, yellow or thick
granular material called keratin debris, which
can build up under nails over time, making them unattractive.
NonyX Gel removes yellowing discoloration by breaking
down and then clearing out unattractive keratin debris
using natural ethanoic acid, and is safe for diabetic
use. Ms. Buck says, "Our products are recommended by podiatrists
to improve the appearance of feet and toenails. One podiatrist,
A recent clinical study confirmed NonyX Nail Gel significantly
improves toenail color and clarity by exfoliating yellowing
keratin debris from under the nail.
Calluses and cracked heels are also a problem for sandal
"fashionistas". These glamorous shoes leave delicate skin
exposed, which contributes to the problem of dry, flaking,
or cracked heels. For soft, supple heels and feet, podiatrists
recommend the natural exfoliating enzymes found in Xenna's
moisturizing CalleX Ointment.
Newly patented CalleX has been shown in consumer studies
to significantly reduce callus, dry, flaking skin and
cracking on soles and heels within 15 to 30 days, and
is safe for diabetic use. Acid-free CalleX moisturizes
dry, rough or flaky skin, and exfoliates and thins callused
areas, while leaving normal skin unaffected.
According to Ms. Buck, "Before selecting this year's designer
sandals, it's smart to also invest in the appearance of
your feet. The most expensive, beautiful sandals in the
world won't be a fashion asset if you've got yellow, discolored
toenails or calluses and cracked, dry heels." "
NonyX Nail Gel can be purchased in the footcare section
of Walgreens, Rite Aid, Longs, Drug Emporium, Brooks,
Duane Reade, Medicine Shoppe and independent pharmacies
nationwide. . CalleX Ointment is now available in the
footcare section at Longs Drugs. Both products are also
available from podiatric physicians and online at www.drugstore.com
and www.xenna.com.
