  • Ellen Pompeo, 52, shared the foot cream she loves using to prevent pain while wearing high heels.

  • It’s the Lord Jones x Tamara Mellon High CBD Formula Stiletto Cream.

  • The multi-use foot cream is formulated with nourishing ingredients like cocoa butter, shea butter, olive oil, CBD, and fruit acids.


Ellen Pompeo, 52, enjoys rocking sky-high heels (don't we all?). Her secret to avoiding foot pain? A little tube of CBD-infused cream that's apparently a total miracle worker.

The Grey’s Anatomy actress called the Lord Jones x Tamara Mellon High CBD Formula Stiletto Cream “a game-changer” during an interview with The Strategist. “You just rub it on your feet and put your shoes on—after it dries, of course. Your feet won’t hurt. It’s crazy,” she said.

Inspired by the Lord Jones team’s love-hate relationship with high heels, the foot cream was crafted to soothe tired, achy feet, while also keeping the skin moisturized. It’s formulated with moisture-locking skincare ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, and olive oil, which all work to nourish the skin. The key ingredient, CBD, works as a replenishing natural substance to reduce foot pain throughout the day, according to the brand.

To get the best results, the Lord Jones notes that the cream should be applied before slipping into heels (wait for it to dry before putting them on) and after wearing them. It also provides great relaxing benefits when you give yourself a much-needed foot massage after standing up for long periods of time.

“You can lather on a foot cream whenever you want, but a beneficial time to apply one is after a shower, while the skin is still moist (but not wet), said Ramsey Markus, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist at Westside Dermatology in Seattle, in a previous interview for Prevention.com. “Put some socks on afterward, this ensures your skin has enough time and ability to really absorb the product,” he explains.

But that’s not all the cream can do. It’s also designed to be used all over your hands, thanks to its plant-based emollient ingredients. The texture is non-slippery and it will apparently leave your skin feeling super moisturized and soft to the touch.

Pompeo isn’t the only person benefiting from this product. Sephora customers can’t stop writing about how amazing their feet feel after wearing heels.

“I absolutely LOVE this product,” wrote one satisfied customer. “I work in food service, so I’m on my feet for five to nine hours a day with minimal breaks and I look forward to coming home and putting this on my feet. It keeps my feet feeling incredibly soft and the CBD really helps with the aches.”

“I was bragging about how comfy my new heels were, recommended them to friends, and wore them the following week without applying the Stiletto cream,” added another reviewer. “I was sitting down rubbing my feet within an hour. It makes a huge difference in the pain factor.”

So if you’re a lover of high heels or stand on your feet for long periods of time, you know what to do! Stock up on a few tubes of this product and check out some of our other favorite derm-approved foot cream picks below.
