New shoes?

Posted: August 18th, 2010 | Author: admin | Filed under: Miscellaneous | 2 Comments »

One of the biggest gripes I have heard about getting older is finding shoes that not only fit well but are fashionable and stylish.

Here are a few suggestions which have come my way over the past few months:

1. Marks & Spencer Footglove range

These are a firm favourite with many of my friends and family. Comfortable shoes in smart designs at reasonable prices. An everyday shoe. http://www.marksandspencer.com

2. Hotter shoes

Hotter shoes are made by a family company in Lancashire and are all about delivering comfort and style. They are only available online but offer free exchanges if you get the wrong size http://www.hottershoes.com/

3. FitFlops

Recommended to me by a friend awaiting a foot operation, FitFlops are part of the new wave of footwear promising exercise whilst you walk. FitFlop sandals wearers have apparently also reported relief from plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, chronic back pain, sciatica, osteoarthritis, RLS (restless leg syndrome), scoliosis and degenerative disc disease. I’ve not tried them myself and the sandals maybe too summery for the Autumn but they may be worth checking out if you have problem feet. http://www.fitflop.com/page/home/

4. Wolky shoes

This is a Dutch company (which delivers to the UK) and its shoes are not cheap – but they are by far the most fashionable range of designs I have seen for so-called “comfort” shoes (shouldn’t they all be?!). And their boots look great too. https://secure.wolkyshop.com/

Do you have any other suggestions?

PS

Another suggestion I have received is Josef Seibel shoes which I am told are “stylish – no good for wearing with a floaty summer skirt, but look great with a denum or cord skirt. Soooo comfortable too” http://www.josefseibel.co.uk/

Any more suggestions?

The FitFlop boots collection has been announced as part of the new autumn winter range, with conservative as well as funky new styles which are sure to match with all winter outfits. The next step to keep us healthy If this works you only can find out yourself, but anyway – these Fitflops make people more sensitive about how much important it is to feel the soil properly. Maybe some people becomming interested in what is Podology ( the science of the feet ) For myself i changed the kind of walking even if i don´t can wear my fitflops. That fits my body and my consciousness.
