Sandals for Ugly Feet

Convinced you’d win an ugly feet contest? Do you refuse to wear sandals or anything with an open toe for fear that someone might actually see your extremely long toes, rough heels, etc. Well not to worry, there are several sandal styles that do the job of hiding crusty toes while looking attractive.

There are attractive closed toe sandals that don’t look like they were hand-me-downs from Grandma. Sandals that cover the heel are available too. Try something with interest whether it be a bright color or shiny material, also avoid anything that appears chunky or heavy. instead look for sandals that fit your criteria while looking as a sandal should, light and comfortable.

Do your part

Feet need love and care. If your feet look unsightly give them your own personal spa treatment the night before their big début. If they still are not fit to be seen cough up the money for a pedicure. It may seem frivolous but it will  make a world of difference.

Relax

Yes, someone is bound to look at your feet at some point in time but will they necessarily notice your sixth toe, maybe not. Sadly but fortunately for you and me, people are largely self-absorbed and are more concerned with their own faults (praying you don’t notice them) to really check you too closely. Very few people belong to the “pretty feet club” so rock your sandals and newly polished toe nails as if you didn’t have a care in the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anthropologie Shoe Review

Retail merchant Anthropologie is earth, wind and fire! Not the music group but it’s all in the style. The neatest thing about this chain is that not only do they have clothing, perfume, books, housewares and furniture but they also have a tasty shoe collection online.

Heels
Eye-catching, personality-popping conversation starters that make you want to hold and caress them! Are they sexy? Surprisingly enough not the word one would think of, maybe a little on the sexy secretary side but there is not a pencil thin stiletto in the bunch. most of the heels are fairly chunky some a little overly so but they still manage to feel “girly” while looking terrific.

Flats

Polka dots and loafers to boot (get it boot?) They are rather simple not daring or different except that the “rain or shine” flats come in a clear brown and are water-resistant. Other than that it’s just another place to buy flats.

Boots

There is craftmanship and style but once again, sad to say, if you are looking for a sexy boot, the journey must continue. Unfortunately most of the boots look like something worn by wealthy farm hands instead of fashionable women on the go.

If a fashionista craves the unique, then most likely she’ll love Anthropologie. Greatness comes at a price and the shoe loving Anthropologie shopper will definitely pay a pretty penny for great shoes. However sales abound and a frugal shopper may just get lucky and find shoes to love and a nice price.

Attractive Comfortable Shoes

There really is such a thing as attractive comfortable shoes. Usually comfortable shoes look like they’ve come from Grandma’s closet but there are many more comfortable shoe options today than in the past. Before if you were seeking comfortable and “good for you” shoes the only remedy was tennis shoes but today loafers, pumps and boots with built-in comfort are widely available.

Where to find them?

  • Online

Not surprisingly the answer is online. If you really want to find quality shoes that are going to keep your feet healthy and still look somewhat attractive, searching online is a good option. Shopping online for shoes has a lot of advantages. Being able to compare prices and search multiple “stores” for exactly what you are looking for from the comfort of your home is always nice.

  • Your Doctor

Perhaps you’ve never admired your podiatrist’s fashion sense but when it comes to specialty shoes they are the ones to ask. Many times they receive magazines from different providers that have comfortable yet fashionable shoe choices. Get a subscription so that when you need a new pair of shoes the information is right at hand.

This is important to remember because impulse buying almost always has the shopper buying something based off looks and not necessarily comfort. It simply isn’t healthy for feet or pocket books to buy shoes that one can only wear for a few minutes before they have to be taken off. Attractive, comfortable shoes can be found with a little knowledge and persistence.

 

 

 

These Boots Were Made For Walking

Nancy Sinatra’s album “Boots” included the number one hit “These Boots Are Made for Walkin” and it is safe to say that this song still goes through the mind of many women as they eye a pair of boots.

Fashion trends in boots may change over the years, but they never go out of style completely and they are worn for much more than keeping the winter elements off your feet. Current boot trends include over-the-knee boots which look great with just about everything from jeans or leggings to dresses and skirts.

Another current rage is faux fur trim on boots. Faux fur is found on both dressy styles of boots and more casual ones. Whether one wants something fancy or practical, there is something available. Boots come in a variety of materials.

And don’t forget the ever popular cowboy boot. From simple to colorful, from leather to snake skin, and from $100 to over ten thousand, there are many options for the cowboy boot enthusiast. They certainly are not just for farmhands anymore either; they are a fashion statement in every generation making them a classic boot choice.

A more recent type of boot is the bootie – a very short boot. This style has been picked up by designers and is growing in popularity. An example of a designer bootie is the Fendi ‘Vertigo’ Beaded Suede Platform Bootie, which can be purchased through Nordstrom on their website at http://shop.nordstrom.com/.

So get yourself a snazzy pair of boots and do a little walking of your own!
