You've got to love those miracle pairs of shoes (and run back to find more of them, even if they cost a living fortune and you can scarcely justify having bought the first pair!) Thing is, it often takes almost a season to figure out how much you love those shoes and, by then, it's too late to get more.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-77142899510957002022009-05-26T13:04:59.373-04:002009-05-26T13:04:59.373-04:00I have this same dilemma.

They were that rare combination of stylish and super-comfortable.

They are better looking than a lot of "comfort sandals" and if you feel good walking that is important. I think they would work with the right outfit, although I understand about the sexy shoe versus the comfortable one. If I lived in a city where I could walk (and I would walk a lot if I did) I would be definitely looking at more shoes that were both good for walking and still somewhat workable.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-18367317905593789472009-05-24T23:00:02.562-04:002009-05-24T23:00:02.562-04:00Yay me!

You all deserve a gift (except for Wendy! :-)) but I'm going to have to go with Sister on this one. Send me your address, Sister, and we'll take it from there.<br /><br />I must say I love your honesty, everyone. Hammie gets special mention for the most hilarious comment.<br /><br />mater: First, I am so jealous of you I can't stand it. Second, I hear you on the shoe dilemma. May the walking goddess be with you. Spend a lot of time taking the edge off at cafes and bars :-)<br /><br />Wendy: You always make me smile!<br /><br />Raven: All I could think when I read this was "I wonder what her gorgeous shoes look like". So it may have made the problem worse :-)<br /><br />Sal: Thank you, Ms. Sassy Shoe Queen :-)<br /><br />Vildy: Thank you for this extremely smart way of looking at it. This is why I want to send everyone a gift!<br /><br />droll: I haven't heard of those and I'm going to look them up. Thanks. <br /><br />Sister: What can I say. When you can use these shoes to compare me favourably to Rumi, well, it's award winning!<br /><br />Bel: Damn. I believed you there for a second!!<br /><br />Hammie: I laughed for 5 minutes when I read it. I still think it's hilarious. Why aren't you a stand up comic? PS I can't wear those thong toes (the bit between the large and second toes). It gets all hurty for me. So that whole genre of footwear is out!<br /><br />Iris: I love your comment. And I can't wait to read through your blog at more length. I promise that I won't wear them with socks. The whole, walking with baby scenario while looking stylish is a tough one. I know.<br /><br />SKM: I hear you honey. I only hope that my cute styling can save them!K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-69587183806213737332009-05-23T04:49:04.435-04:002009-05-23T04:49:04.435-04:00Well you've seen my adventures with shoes from the...Well you've seen my adventures with shoes from the Nana stores before, and I managed to make them feel hip enough to wear in public.

But I'm not a reliable source - I'd probably wear these with socks.<br /><br />I often find myself with the same conundrum - I walk a lot (often with baby attached) and thus need sensible shoes, but I abhor trainers.

Either way it is not chic and fabulous to be in pain. If you wore non comfortable shoes you would have your face all scrunched up in pain and your posture would be bad and you would be limping and that would not be pretty. Now you can walk like a run way model only you will be pain free.

I think they're totally hip, a refreshing antidote to the stupid Fierce Heels that just make feet look like big clodhoppers and bring to mind the horror of Rumi and her ilk.<br /><br />These sandals are summery and girlish with just enough heel to elongate your calf muscles.

I'm currently packing (carry-on only, can't stand checking and the attendant possible loss) for 3 weeks away, which includes two conference presentations but also a week each visiting London and Paris. We tend to walk 20K daily when city-holidaying and I know my Birks are the only things that can keep me happy through that. Also packed some cute flats, ballet-ish, but cute flats will never be the same as a sexy heel. I did slip my red Fluevog 2 1/2-inch sandals in there, though, for a wee bit of va-va-voommaterfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.com
