As I’ve gotten older, my feet have gotten to the point where
cheap shoes won’t cut it, and if I want to stand a chance of being able to
stand on my feet years from now I need good shoes with good support. I felt like Goldilocks over the years trying
the many different brands of shoes recommended by others for their orthopedic qualities,
but in the end I have pretty much determined that when it comes to flip flops I’m
an OluKai girl, and that when it comes to all other shoes (except gym shoes) it’s
nothing but Dansko’s for me.
I know, I know, most people think Dansko’s are just for work,
and when you mention the brand name all that comes to mind are the traditional
Dansko clogs. But they actually have
some pretty cute sandals, boots, heels, and dress shoes. Dansko’s can’t be that bad, Vogue just had an
article out this past September about how they were the current fashion
darlings (Dansko Clogs Are Fashion's New Ugly-Chic Shoe Trend – Vogue) Who knew that frumpy ‘ole me and my
collection of Danskp’s would be on trend for once!
When I started buying Dansko’s I quickly learned that there
are some that are highly coveted and collectable. Yeah, I was surprised too! It took a little over a year, but I finally
managed to procure a pair of the “Paint Splatter” Dansko’s in excellent
condition.
Why the paint splatter clogs – Why not? Hello, I’m an artist! They are brightly colored, much like my art
and best of all they are comfortable to wear. They are sooooooo me!
I LOVE these shoes – I can’t wait to wear them all around
town, and to events related to my art business!
They are fun to look at, and inspire me to dream about how perhaps one day
maybe I could design a colorful “art” clog for Dansko – wouldn’t that be fun! A dream, but you never know – perhaps just
putting it out into the universe, maybe someone reading this may know someone who
could make that happen!
Speaking of smiles – I would love to know what shoes make
you smile when you put them on and why?

Dream big, wear comfortable shoes that make you smile as you
journey through life!
