Clark Thongs

It's summer and finally my UGG flip-flops are just about done.   I have been wearing them for the past 5 years. They lasted a very long time.  I contribute that to the UGG brand and all the leather and wool on them.  When I bought them, they were one of the most comfortable casual shoes I had for summer.  Whatever support there was in them, it is gone now.  After I wear them for about 30 minutes my feet begin to hurt.  They still look very good!  They just don't feel good.  I still have them for short jaunts back and forth to the kitchen but I did get some new ones for long time walking. 

I was at my local discount shoe store and found a pair by Clarks that I love.  It was surprising because I have bought 2 pairs of Clarks in the past and they and my feet do not get along.  They are hard and not comfortable.  After looking at various pairs of sandals I tried them on a whim.  They were like heaven on my feet.  The prior two pairs were semi dress shoes for work.

I'm in love.  These are comfortable and even have a little flair.  They re actually just a little dressy! I'm set for summer now!  Well....can a woman ever be set with shoes?  No!  Let's just say I'm set with summer casual shoes.....for now!

My Summer Shoes!

I was in Belk recently and they were having a sale!  What could be better?  I found these by Kenneth Cole Reaction.  I love them. Love the cork heel AND...AND...the foam layer on the cork.  It makes for extra cushion and comfort.  Since I am having some sort of foot pain now, these are a dream.  I have not been able to wear my skinny heeled shoes for a few months now, so I have been buying wedges and some flats until the issue is resolved. 

Normally these were $69.  I got them for $21 last weekend.  SCORE! Another attractive feature is the bling on the top.  These dress up any casual summer dress.  I have worn then to work and church. They are great.  Check the out!  You might want to get a pair too!

The Fall Heels! High VS Low

For the past year I have been unable to wear my really high heels.  They just don't feel as comfortable as they used to.  Am I getting older?  Is that the issue?  Not too sure or is it just a time when I feel unstable on those higher heels.  Now slightly lower heels are much more comfortable.  I am thinking I will go with those for now.  Maybe!  The awful thing is that I have a closet full of heels.  Most of them high. So I have a closet full of shoes that I mostly just look at now.  Sad!   I really think that of you do not wear the high heels for a while you get out of practice teetering in them and being comfortable. I have gotten out of practice!   I am going to have to change that.  I have so many beautiful shoes that I need to be wearing.  They cost lots of money.  So.  I will be donning some of them when the fall really gets here.  Most of my higher heels do go with all my winter styles.  So higher heels, I will be heading your way soon.  For now its still flip flops and sandals during these lazy days of summer.

Working in a NEW Pair of Shoes

Last week I wore these shoes to work for the very first time!  It was a struggle.  Very cute and I got them on sale at my local Steinmart.  They are cork and painted to boot with a little sparkle.  I love them and I think they will eventually get broken in but they were hurting after the first hour.  When I got back to my desk and was going to be there for awhile I slipped them off and put on the flip flops.   I love these for summer.  They will go with many things since they are on the neutral side.  Happy summer!  Do you have all your summer shoes lined up?  I have several other pairs I have not pulled out of the closet yet!  So more to come.
