The Most Comfortable
Shoes I Own. Bar None.
December 6th, 2011 By

Minnetonka moccasins have been an absolute workhorse for me. I’ve worn them traveling, through winter (with wool socks), in summer (with shorts), and for outdoor concerts in the mud. They’re beat up, but they’ve molded to my feet and only seem to get softer with use (or in my case, abuse). I have the ones on the left and they sit pretty perfectly on my ankles. Most days I don’t even bother zipping them up, since they look great slouchy, too. I think that seven years of having this pair justifies getting another. The internal debate: Stick the the same ones I’m used to, or try the lace-up boots. Help me, lest I make a decision I may regret for the next seven years.

Shoe Cravings: Moccasins for Spring March 17th, 2010 By

Moccasins are comfortable and cute this spring.  This classic flat style is on trend, especially when adorned with fringe and beads.  Wear paired with skinny jeans or miniskirts.  The bohemian vibe of these casual shoes will complement the soft, floral minidresses and ruffled skirts that are wardrobe staples this spring and summer.  My favorite right now?  The hi-top style – it’s the perfect transition from winter, and gives my feet a break from stilettos!

Slip into one of these chic pairs:
