The sandals

I present to you the sandals of which I spoke on Saturday, the ones that were $20 less than the Sketcher's brand I originally went shopping for. For which I went shopping that is.

I was actually prepared to spend closer to $100 for sandals as that was what I was considering last summer but this year there seem to be more options in a more reasonable price range. My mom reports having a similar pair to those pictured from K-Mart, Dr. Scholl's brand for $30 that are comfortable per her review.

I admit to having a basket full of Old Navy flip flops that you can pick up for the cheap price of $5 each and worth every cent. If you have feet that are at all sensitive, these babies are not for more than out to eating. Being available in every color though, I do think they are fine for just that kind of activity. Paired with a coordinated t-shirt they are very cute. A little higher on the scale are Kohl's flip flops which are cuter than the Old Navy and run from about $10 up to $20 per pair. More comfortable and probably great for the average person but my feet hurt pretty much all the time so again, good for short runs only for me.

Being a wearer of jeans or yoga pants and t-shirts these Croft & Barrel sandals will work well for me I do believe. They looked cute with my jeans and I wore them for about four hours around the house on Saturday and they were comfortable. I can't wear a shoe without arch support because I lack arches as well as toe-ing in which results in foot, leg and back pain if I don't wear proper shoes as well as consciously correct my pigeon toes. Which is why I was considering spending $100 on a pair of shoes that would work with my challenges.

So there you have the latest in summer footwear plans. It will be time in a few weeks to pack up my beloved brown riding boots which are my other standby. Have I told you about my boots? Ahh, a story for another day!
