Advantages: Powerful Storylines, Great Cast Disadvantages: N/A
A friend recommended this to me with the warning 'It's quite gritty and a bit graphic so be prepared'. This was a massive understatement.
'The Shield' focuses on group of detectives called the 'Strike Team' of the LAPD in the (fictional) Farmington District of Los Angeles. The team is led by Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis) and includes Shane Vendrell (Walton Goggins), Ronnie Gardocki (David Rees Snell), Curtis Lemansky (Kenny Johnson) and Terry Crowley (Reed Diamond). As the seasons progressed the team gained new members but the ones listed above were the 'originals'.

Advantages: Worked for me Disadvantages: expensive
walked down the aisle! Well my friend saw my distress and gave me a packet of these and I can't tell you how greatful I was.
They have a sticky back which can be used time and time again without loosing it's stick and are made of silicone. They are clear in colour, rather floppy and put me in the mind of those fake boob implants that you can pop in your bra except they aren't quite as thick because that would just be silly! The shield is designed to cushion your heel and think it's suppose to stop any discomfort if you are on your feet for a long time but I used them a little differently.
