Naturalizer worked with reflexologist and mom of three Michelle Ebbin of Basic Knead to create this list of tips for springtime shoe shopping:
1. 15 minutes of…comfort: When selecting a pair of shoes, you should be able to walk for at least 15 minutes without discomfort or pressure to any part of the feet.
2. Breathe easy: Every woman knows how annoying sweaty, sliding feet can be… and when your feet can’t breathe, your energy can’t flow. Find shoes with a breathable lining.
3. Lighten up and embrace the softer side: Hard, clunky shoes are more than just ugly; they can affect your circulation.
4. The 2010 shoe mantra – NO BREAKING IN: Flexibility means no “breaking-in” period. Supportive, lightweight shoes lessen the impact of gravity, which can wreak havoc on your feet and your entire body.
Disclosure: I received the shoes shown to facilitate this review.
There's nothing quite like wearing an awesome pair of heels! That said, it's not particularly practical when you have small children to care for.
ReplyDeleteThese days, I typically go for a small heel, clog, or boot. I have found that completely flat flats tend not to be flattering on my petite frame.
