Into Every Woman’s Life a Little Heel Must Fall

“I was completely shocked and devastated, because I was wearing flats.”  – Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham on being pulled over in a car by the police and photographed by the paparazzi…..while wearing flats.

It was time ladies.  Time for me to come to the realization that three inch heels no longer qualified as sensible footwear.  It was time for a “comfort line.”  I know, tears.  It took me awhile to wrap  my head around the concept.  I have ALWAYS been a heels girl.  In fact, I once took a road trip with my good friend Monica from Lake Tahoe to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.  The shoes I brought, black leather sandals with a 2 1/2 inch heel.  Those were my camping heels. I bartended and waitressed in 3 inch heels for years.  My feet would cramp so bad that I would swear each shift was the last time time in fashionable footwear.  I was going to become close personal friends with Dr. Scholl’s.  The problem was EVERY time I went to the mall and choked out the words “comfortable shoes”  I felt I died a little inside and more than once I am convinced I threw up a little in my mouth. I just didn’t have the stomach for flats.

Then came two very active step-sons and the birth of my also very active son.  Three boys.  I looked and felt ridiculous “clicking” around after them teetering on heels.  Plus, I am 36 years old and after years of heels, my feet have earned their stripes and we just can’t take it anymore.  The search began for a great looking pair of comfortable shoes.

I love boots and I searched high and low (under 3 inches low) for a fantastic looking pair of comfortable boots.  Fashion and comfort was a marriage I never thought I would see.   That’s when I discovered these new Tyra Dansko boots.  Dansko makes those clogs you see all the nurses and waitresses wearing.  Dansko is originally a company started in Denmark and they are known for their comfortable shoes and are a socially responsible company.  Feel good about your feet and the Earth at the same time.  When I searched at zappos.com and saw the boots I thought we might have a winner.  I ordered a pair and it was love at first zip.  They really are that comfortable, but they are sleek and the heel is not too bulky or square.  Actually this is a 3″ heel so I didn’t have to sacrifice the height to get a comfortable boot.

If, like me, you are a busy Mom, but still like a great pair of leather boots try these out.  They are great all weather boots and come in brown, and if you order through zappos  – free shipping ladies!!  Go and rock your comfortable and sassy self.    Love M
