Stylish (& Ergonomic) Exploring Shoes.
About a year ago I started having foot problems. Specifically, plantar fasciitis.
I noticed it when running. I noticed it in Bikram during the second part of awkward. I noticed it while traveling and walking around five different cities in flats. I can't deny that I am in pain when I do certain things or wear certain shoes. I have tried massaging with tennis balls. I have begun wearing Healthy Toes (which have helped). But I need even more than just these remedies... And now, I have made a decision...
With the Summer months more or less here, I need to wear sandals that offer more support to my feet and my arches. No more Havaianas.
I love Havaianas. They are fantastic and colorful flip flops. And I have owned about five different pairs in the past three years. They are cheap and fun. But the reality is: They are shit in the "support department." It is now painful to walk in them. And I live sandals I can just slide on my feet. So I searched for a pair of "ergonomic sandals" in Google the other day.
I was expecting really frightening results. I mean to me, ergonomic shoes aren't exactly fun-looking. Just funny-looking. Would I have to compromise style for comfort? I would if I had to... But I really just didn't want to anymore. Luckily, I don't have to. As I have found these...
They are the "Living Thong" sandals by Ecco. And I found them at The Walking Company this afternoon. They feel amazing on my feet, and (most important) they are quite cute on them too.
I will easily be able to pound the pavement in Toronto wearing these.
And the Havaianas? They are going into the trash bin.
