Is this as bad as Christmas trees and tinsel in September? Or Halloween candy at Target just after you walked your kid to school for the first day in the fall? If so, disregard my preemptive ogling of five new comfortable shoes for fall...on July 22. I figure someone out there works in a cold air-conditioned office or under a "no open-toe" policy at work. Or maybe you just don't get much of a summer up there in Anchorage. Here's to ya.
I predict the Ruby Shimmer to be a hit for Clark's this fall. This particular comfortable pump comes from Clark's Bendables line of ultra-flexible and lightweight footwear. The Ruby Shimmer features a manageable two-inch heel, cushioned footbed and even comes in wide widths. Although no customer reviews exist yet, I'm looking forward to what folks have to say about this new Clark's style. Coming in at $75 from Zappos, free shipping both ways.
You saw it here first. These are, in fact, Danskos. Waiting under a rock until the animal prints stampede by and over the "no longer stylish" cliff? Come and out and take a look at the Rae in solid colors with tough nail-head accents. Perfect to wear casually with jeans or dress-up with tights and a skirt. $145 @ Zappos.
I happen to like any shoe with the color name blackberry even if it's as purple as Harold's crayon, but the Keen Golden Loafer also comes in other earthy hues like potting soil and swamp. The insole is removable which made me wonder if it might accommodate a thin orthotic. The goring on the upper provides a more custom fit if you happen to have a high instep. $80 @ Zappos, free shipping both ways.
You've tried, but you can't. Get over Clark's being a plain-jane semi-orthopedic brand, that is. Friends and podiatrists have told you to look into Clark's and as much as you try to engender the warm fuzzies for the styles we show you here at BarkingDogShoes.com, you click away thinking, "Nice try, ladies, but I'm younger, hipper and a heckuva lot more daring with my shoe choices." Although you're too nice to leave it in a comment. So what do you think of the Indigo (by CLARK'S!!) Purse style? I personally love it and the fact that it comes in harder-to-find navy leather. $99.95 @ OnlineShoes.com, free shipping and exchanges.
Hot Rockports. What else can I say? $139.95 @ OnlineShoes.com
