Shoes That Are Comfortable and Stylish

Every year the week before school started, my mother bought me a new pair of shoes. Because I love shoes, I've kept up the tradition all these years after graduation. My life involves a lot of walking, so as lovely as they look, high heels are not a staple for me. I have rounded up some comfy yet cute shoes to help you keep on the move in your daily life. Save the heels for evening! I have been Read more

Shoe Review: Bern High Boot by Keen

The more active you are throughout your workday, the better. When folks wear comfy shoes to work, they walk more; let's face it, speed-walking for 30 minutes at lunch in stilettos is not a good time. That's why I'm on the hunt for stylish, yet comfortable shoes that promote getting up and moving around. With its low heel made of resilient rubber, I'm liking the Bern High Boot by Keen ($150).

I found these Erin Ballet Flats ($90) by Keen and have been wearing them about town, running errands, and chasing my Read more

Got Bunions?

Bunions! If you have them you know where they are. That bump on the joint growing just south of your big toe. While you might want to blame your shoes for your bunion, it would be more accurate to blame your parents (they are such excellent scape goats aren't they). Bunions are most often caused by "faulty foot" structure that is an inheritable trait. Certain foot types increase the risk of Read more

Get in Gear: Keen Roatan Shoe

Summer means you may (hopefully) be spending a little more time near the water. I tend to move around a lot while I am at the beach, though most of the time I am chasing after my kids in tide pools. Regular flip flops just weren't cutting it... Keen's Roatan ($35.00) shoe was the perfect match for my active waterside lifestyle. The stretch Neoprene along with the carbon rubber non-marking Read more

Get in Gear:  Nike Water Cat

Ok, they have all-terrain vehicles for the road. What about all-terrain vehicles for your feet? Nike will be introducing (not quite yet) a radical new shoe design made for land and water. Well not quite radical, KEEN has been making shoes like this for years (and they are a much more environmentally conscious company than Nike - but enough of the rant). They're lightweight, and the sole is Read more
