Boots Made For Walkin

October 20, 2014

A few years ago I bought the cutest pair of ankle boots. I wore them for a couple weeks and then developed significant pain in both of my big toes. It was unbearable. Shortly after I went to the doctor and was told I had tendinitis in my toes and should wear a supportive shoe with a rigid sole (something like clogs).

I’ve tried almost every comfort shoe under the sun. Last year I purchased two pairs of Dansko sandals (worn in this post) and a Dankso ankle boot. Both are great and comfortable. However, when it comes to boots, I prefer something with a lower heel and a streamlined appearance. My Dankso boot is 4 inches tall!

A few weeks back, I stumbled on a pair of Dr.Scholl’s booties on Zappos. A lot of Dr. Scholl’s have a rigid foot bed and look more contemporary then what I’m used to for comfort shoes. I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and inexpensive they were. As recommended, I sized up a half size. I wear a 7 1/2 and purchased an 8.

If you have any other stylish comfort shoe recommendations, please leave them in the comments.

I am loving this weather; so unusually warm for this time of year. And yes, I am wearing sandals, no coat, in October. It feels a little strange this far into the year, but the boots will come out soon enough.

It’s officially October and the weather is becoming chilly here in Seattle. We had a surprisingly warm summer but I’m excited for the cooler temperature and cozy fall layers e.g., scarves, sweaters, boots and coats.

In preparation for fall, I have been going through my closet and trying to pare down anything that I am not currently using. I am transitioning out some light weight items and keeping others for the occasional warm day. Mondays are tough enough – who needs a wardrobe challenge before you get to work.
