Dansko Nena Short Boot: Guaranteed to Make You Feel Pretty

Danskonena_2

Update 11/08: You gals are gonna LOVE me for this. I found this discontinued boot in brown and black over at ShoeParlor.com. Just enter "Nena" in the search box over at their site.

........................................................................................................

The color of the top boot is butterscotch. The color of the pair below is chocolate. And these two colors remind me of my favorite cookie. You can tell I'm feeling better after the evil stomach flu exacted its vengeance on me earlier this week.

The Nena boot is from Dansko's Nolita line. I can't decide if it's an ankle boot or mid-calf boot; I guess it just depends on whether you're tall or petite. Wondering how to wear this boot?  Dansko says, "The Nolita Collection can be dressed up with a flowing skirt or down with your favorite jeans, and either way you a€™re guaranteed to feel pretty and feminine in this fashionable wedge."Danskonena2

Guaranteed to feel pretty? And how do they guarantee that? Do I get my money back if I take a picture of myself in these boots at this very moment? I'll guarantee you that wouldn't be pretty. The day after stomach flu is never pretty.

All joking aside, I think this is a really cute boot. I like the supportive wedge heel even if it is 3" high. I mean, look at the platform--it has to be at least an inch high! Customers at OnlineShoes.com and Zappos have only accolades for the Nena.

Clarksmetti1_2 This classic pump verges on boring, but somehow rescues itself from the slippery slope with the subtle crossover styling on the forefoot. The Clarks Metti pump has a cushioned EVA footbed, thick 1 3/4" heel for support, and flexible polyurethane sole.

Terrasoles Rainier Slip-On: $42.46 at Shoemall

Terrasoles2Update 12/7/07: You can get 15% off Terrasoles (or any other slipper) at Shoemall.com through Dec. 19th with FREE upgraded 2-day shipping.

The innovative folks over at Terrasoles.com describe this shoe as such, "Inspired by the real Mt. Rainier this Terrasole is inset with stretch binding for adjustability. With a flair of faTerrasoles3shion, the Rainier is perfect after yoga, pilates or for just a walk in the park."

Inspired by the real Mt. Rainier? Really? Just exactly what about the 14,140' volcanic mountain in the Cascades inspired the design of this shoe? Although this shoe looks plenty comfy, I'm not sure it would do the trick on a final summit bid.

That being said, they look like just the thing for a stroll around the hard floor of the mall during Christmas season. Available in fun colors like persimmon, lavender, espresso and basic colors like stone and black. $49.95 at Shoebuy with free shipping and returns.

P.S. You get 10% off your first order at Shoebuy.com if you register.

Skechers Waterlily: $49.95 at Shoebuy, Save 10% More if You Register

Sketcherswaterlily2 Skechers has made a sporty shoe look feminine and virtually refined with the floral brocade and suede upper.  The Waterlily would dress up an otherwise plain Jane jeans and t-shirt ensemble.

As I was pulling into my driveway yesterday and unloading the kids, my dear neighbor was getting into her car. Before she shut the door, I spied her feet. She was wearing the Skechers Waterlily in black!  Of course, I had to informally interview her about her thoughts on the shoe. She raved about the all-day comfort factor and the cushioned footbed.

Skecherswaterlily1The best deal going is at Shoebuy.com for $49.95, free shipping and returns. If you register during checkout, you can save 10% on your first purchase.

One of these boots is made by a tragically hip footwear company for $189.95 and the other is produced by Royce Medical Supplies for $49.95. Can you tell the difference?
