The almighty comfortable shoe
With the right pair of shoes on her feet, a woman can adjust to anything. Even living in small-town Indiana. And she can do it pain free. No other wearable object wields such power. Women all over the world covet the almighty shoe. We hunt for them, collect them, compare them, store them for next season, keep them long past their due date, and expect them to gloriously update the dreariest of fashion ensembles.Whether they cost 10 bucks or 300, a woman’s shoes say much about her mood, her lifestyle, her values, and her personal style. Take a shoe by Dansko, for example. Now this is a shoe for the active woman who wants support and comfort without having to wear tennis shoes or bedroom slippers in public. Available in an endless variety of colors and styles, this is the comfortable shoe for the woman who swore she’d never wear comfortable shoes. I know, because I am that woman. My feet are wide, yet the styles I tend to like simply do not come in wide widths. All my adult life I’ve suffered in the name of fashion. I’ve worn strappy leather sandals, cork wedges, satin mules, kitten heels, high-heeled loafers, you name it. But comfortable shoes? Ha! Forget it. I’d rather go barefoot through snow drifts.
