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.

Fall Preparation

My personal style is best represented through classic fall pieces. I love wearing a button down shirt with a pull over sweater and a statement necklace; pairing riding boots with denim or cords and being bundled up in a classic coat (I have the sandstone).

If you love preppy fashion, then be sure to check out the Brooks Brothers Red Fleece collection. It is adorable! There are so many pieces I am coveting, like this embroidered cotton dog pattern shirt.

To get in the spirit of all things preppy, here are some inspirational photos with links to items that are similar.

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 October!

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.
