Happy Feet
I have ugly feet. I waited tables for years in college and afterwards and it really shows - they are misshapen and plain old worn out! Well, a lot of shoes now are made for people who are always on their feet, so not only can you have comfort, but you can have pretty feet, worthy of that $40 pedicure that you want to go get once in while!Many of us work on our feet all day long with only a lunch time to sit down and give our feet a break for a half an hour or so. When it comes to what shoes we select, we look at, first and foremost, comfort for our poor tired feet.
When I’m shopping for shoes, I look for extra wide sizing, try them on and walk around a little bit in them in the store. If the shoes are not as comfortable as bedroom slippers right away without having to break them in, I’ll put them back and try to find another pair. I almost always find a pair of shoes that’s comfortable, but often have to give up a fashionable, stylish look.
The good news is the traditional company lines for comfort shoes are now focusing in on making their shoes still with ease of wear in mind but more stylish than they were in the past. The brands Naturalizer, Easy Spirit and Aerosoles are tailoring the shoes they are marketing now to successfully blend both comfort and style. They are responding to this demand on the market today.
Many of us women will give up comfort so we can look stylish. I, personally, have always put comfort first, because if your feet hurt, all the rest of you hurts too. I was glad to read about this trend of more style to the traditional comfort shoes. Now, I can’t wait to go shoe shopping and find a newer foot image that will still keep my feet happy.
