I Like My Shoes Comfy

A few years after I moved to Florida, I discovered Birkenstocks. That led to an entire series of discovery adventures in finding all kinds of footwear that is actually so comfortable my back and legs never hurt. I’ve gone to great lengths to find shoes that are not only foot friendly, but also look great. Granted, that does not usually include pumps and other high heeled styles. Nonetheless, I have a lot of shoes that look great and I can proudly say I can walk all day and nary feel a pinch.
I can hardly understand people anymore who suffer to wear shoes that look a certain way. I have a very good hairdresser friend who wears sexy shoes every day. Take those hot shoes off, though, and her twisted little feet are full of lumps and corns and other nasty foot ailments. No thanks!
Now that I am getting ready to re-enter the work force, I’ve been a little worried that I will have to give up foot comfort. I was thrilled to look around the schools where I did my teaching hours to see a lot of the teachers wearing attractive clogs and other comfy shoes.
There are several manufacturers that specialize in foot friendly shows. One of the more companies that puts out several of the more attractive and professional looking styles is Dansko shoes. They are designed to follow the natural contours of the foot and have a well-padded insole. The unique quality Dansko has is their rocker style bottoms. They afford of a kind of movement that protects your legs and feet and is ideal for people who have to stand around a lot, like teachers! I included the links for MetBoots, because they happen to have good pricing on the shoes and often times free shipping. I like to forward my readers to the deals on the net.
