Casual, Yet Classy

Flats are a style of shoe that should be required for every girl to own at least one pair. They go with anything, from skinny jeans to skirts. Obviously, this post is aimed toward girls. But guys should feel free to read on! :) Flats are so light and comfortable.  I recently bought a new pair that I believe are super casual, but can also work for some nice occasion. I got a gray pair of Rock & Candy by Zigi Soho. They have lace-like fabric, which is what I believe makes them acceptable for formal-ish occasions.  They are very comfortable, but like all shoes, they feel better when worn with socks. Of course no one should ever wear normal socks with flats, so I HIGHLY recommend getting a pair of super low-cut "no show" socks. These shoes are awesome, comfortable, stylish, and perfect for every girl to have in her closet.

Totally awesome, I know.

Remember PF Flyers? The shoes that were most popular in the 50's and 60's, that made you run faster and jump higher? They became most popular in modern pop culture from the movie The Sandlot.  They kind of died down from the 70's-90's, but are now making a comeback.  Most of them look like Chucks, but PF Flyers are more comfortable than Converse, in my opinion.  PF stands for posture foundation, so obviously they are very comfortable and reduce leg strain by evenly distributing weight. My dad was a huge fan of these shoes "back in the day". He was a farm kid that was always running around, and he said these shoes were very durable and comfortable, and overall a great shoe for a busy kid.  I don't think you would necessarily have a retro style just to wear these today. I think anyone should wear them, no matter what your style!

The Ultimate Party Shoe!

Spring is here! Which means that summer is almost here! We all need to prepare for summer, which means it's time to start investing in some new summer kicks.  Flippy floppies are bad for your feet! But there is a brand that is actually good for your feet! This brand would be Reef.  Their sandals have a compression molded footbed which is great for arches, a heel airbag for extra cushioning, and my favorite part, they have a bottle opener on the soles!!! Which is why I call them the perfect party shoe. For Coca-Cola bottles, of course. Reef sandals are insanely durable! I bought my first pair my freshman year of high school, and they lasted all the way until my senior year. Really, the only reason I got rid of them was because they just looked old, but the comfort was still there.  Ever since I bought a pair, I got my whole family hooked to them. They are by far the comfiest summer shoes!

Cool, sporty look!



 
Bottle opener works great!
