Ugly Shoes on Sale

Posted by squeak on June 23, 2008

I’m all about good deals and sale items. Just ask my daughter as I always quote “every things goes on sale”.  So today when I am looking for sale shoes on Zappo’s, I came across these Taryn Rose shoes that are on sale for 25% off. The Clear Nappa/Mesh open toe design is still $356 and the Cecily Zebra Haircalf open toe pump is $446. Really that is not a sale in my eyes, and they are not even cute.

Shoe Style Q&A

Posted by kim on May 27, 2007

In the new June/July issue of StyleWatch Magazine, editor Susan Kaufman has all the answers…

Q. I walk a lot, but I’m tired of sneakers. Can you suggest stylish, comfy shoes?

A. Cute ballet flats may seem to be the obvious answer, but they lack arch support and have little in the way of padding.  Accessories editor Regina Delgado Gardiner recommends checking out brands such as Taryn Rose (designed by a former orthopedic surgeon; “Branda” flat shown), Naturalizer, Aerosoles and Cole Haan, which specialize in stylish comfort footwear.  All their shoes are created with the anatomy of the foot in mind; many come with rubber soles to absorb impact; and some even use the same type of cushioning found inside running shoes (ie Cole Haan works with Nike to create sneaker-like insoles).
