Ah, Born sandals, how I love thee

I have hard to fit feet - at least, in the past I have, due to inheriting my Scottish grandmother's long, narrow, large feet. These days, they aren't as hard to fit, BUT like other women, it's not always easy to find shoes that *look good* and flatter my feet (weird thinking about that). Normally, comfort is number one, followed by looks, but these days, I require both in my sandals, especially. Sandals are supposed to look good and dammit, look sexy!

Fortunately, my local TJ Maxx store hit the jackpot with me - they stock this wonderful brand called "Born" (there's supposed to be a diagonal strike-thru in the "O") that fit, are comfortable, and *look good*.  Ignore the sultry models on the website: anyone looks good in these sandals. Here's a site that has a FAQ about their shoes, and some information. Honest to god, I don't normally gush over things like this (shoes) but these are, like SAS shoes/sandals, awesome on your feet. I've walked for hours in one pair of sandal/slides and my feet felt better afterward than when I wore my sneakers!

I love a good shoe.

I hate shoes. Everything is too big. I have long narrow feet and argh.

Maybe I'll check it out.

Yup, so do I. It was *miserable* finding shoes that fit me when I was a kid. Narrow was redefined by my feet, along with my lack of arches. Fortunately, they spread out, so they are medium instead of ultra narrow.

But I hear your pain. For a long time, shoe shopping was as much of an agony as shopping for a bathing suit.

I checked out the Born sandals. I bought a pair as they look well made and comfy. Thanks for the heads up.
