Comfy Summer Sandals

On Thursday NeuroticMom and I are going to be chaperoning our 8th grade class trip to New York City.  We are leaving at 10am and won't be back til midnight.  That means we will spend many hours walking around the city.

I am really looking forward to it-- even all the walking!

The most important thing to have when spending a day roaming the best city in the world with a group of eighth graders (besides a LOT of patience) is an excellent pair of shoes.
Comfort is key.  Style is a close second; but comfort trumps all.

So what does one choose as footwear that will fit both criteria of comfort and style?

Fitflops!

So cute.  Sooo comfy!  I bought my first pair last summer.  The brand motto is : Get a workout while you walk.  (It's imprinted on the bottom of every shoe they sell).  I can't say I've noticed any changes in my derriere from wearing these shoes, but I do think they provide more support than a normal flipflop.  They have a thicker sole (which a short person like me really appreciates!)

Here's a description from the website:

Very possibly our prettiest sandal so far, our patent leatherPietra sports, a sleek metallic microfiber-lined upper embellished with three resin jewel stones down the toe line. Built on a slimmed-width version of our muscle-toning Microwobbleboard™ midsole, so you not only look fabulous and feminine, but you get a workout while you walk™ Click here for info on Microwobbleboard technology.


I chose the Pietra model in the color Pewter (love!):

So if your plans include a lot of walking and you'd like to sport cute footwear at the same time try a pair of Fitflops.  *And let me know what you think!
