I’ve been trying to avoid buying new shoes…but over the past couple of weeks, this has proven to be a necessary evil. It was increasingly difficult to stuff my swollen feet/ankles into the Dr. Martens that I wear to work (which I love). And now it’s even hard to fit them into my Keen sandals. Meh. So what that comes down to, is that my house shoes fit, and that’s about it. Of course I’m not about to wear my house shoes to work (not that it hasn’t crossed my mind). So the search was on for new shoes.
After many hours of searching on Zappos and talking to a really nice customer service rep, I picked these Dansko Corinne clogs that looked professional. But when they came, they turn out to be too stiff and my swollen feet were complaining about them. So I gotta send those back. Greg and I went to The Walking Company tonight in Highland Village, and found these Merrell Encore Breeze (which I had also admired on Zappos previously). What’s better…was that they were having a Merrell sale that’s 20% off.
They have a breathable mesh-like upper that stretches a little, which helps to accommodate the growing height of my feet. They fit pretty well, and don’t look too terribly sporty to draw attention at work. I’ll probably just have to wear thin socks with them. Hopefully I can continue to wear these after Jordan comes so I can at least get my money’s worth. Ha ha.
