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 Sandals

I took a look around in my closet and realized that the only shoes I owned for 2 inches and higher and heeled. I have no flats at all of any kind. I had a pair of old flip flops that I had about 4 years ago. I threw them out and decided to go shopping over the past 2 weeks for flat shoes. Not so much nice flats for summer dressing but really casual. All my shoes are dress heels. All my sandals are dress sandals with 2-3 in heels. Heels do not work for long distance walking. I have had to walk far distances lately and those heels are not working.

I have even taken to walking in the flats and then changing into the heels once I arrive at my destination. My flats fit into a large purse or my briefcase and noone knows the wiser. I still strut in with the best, highest shoes on! Bam! Heels are in the house!

So what have I purchased? Well, I guess I will start with the Uggs. These I love and they are my very first pair of Uggs. I have seen several pairs of the boots around in the winter but they are pink or purple. Can't buy those. These are very comfortable and they go just about with anything casual.

The next pair of shoes I got were on a whim. I was at Target with my child dirty Fila and she wanted a pair of flip flops. I am not to keen on flip flops for anyone but I did get her a pair. As we were leaving the aisle I spotted these and was struck by the "flip flop cuteness" of them. Well they screamed buy me. The rhinestone dressed them up so much that they make casual things almost dressy! I have worn them quite a bit now and they are a bit dingy. I think I will be getting another pair. This is really a fashion must have for summer. A big "yeeeessss" for the embellished glam flip flop!

What I do is kick them in the pants with a diamond buckled shoe!
