ALONG COMES MARY

I must say, I have several addictions & vices. Mind you, I am not partying the nights away or blowing my credit card on poker matches, but, I do have those things I just love & cannot get enough of….coffee….a glass of wine…shoes….dresses….shoes…lip gloss…did I mention SHOES?
I am guilty of quite a few pairs of awesome, fashionable shoes. So much, that Michael got me a shoe tree to help me organize them all better for Christmas. Unfortunately, a lot of my shoes do remain on the tree as I need to save them for special occasions. Events like a night at the theatre, a concert or dinner with friends, because, those are nights I won’t be walking a lot & many of my beloved shoes just aren’t that cozy.

Sometimes, I have thought, if only I could wear my favorite pair of running shoes everywhere. Granted, they’re VERY worn, old & beginning to have seen their day, like, yesterday. Even when they were new, they looked every bit like a jogging shoe & not too polished to pair with my common outfit of a cute tee & jeans. So, instead? I often opt for the less comfortable shoes & suck it up, because I feel more confident feeling like I look a bit more together, especially here in LA.

Enter, Vionic Shoes! When an invite arrived in my email to receive a pair of their shoes, I couldn’t respond quick enough with a huge YES! as they’re a brand new kind of shoe; Podiatrist designed Vionic with Orthaheel Technology has given thousands of people the freedom to enjoy life free of foot, leg and back pain. They are the only sandals recommended by the APMA and Dr. Andrew Weil, and are also endorsed by celebrity trainer Juliet Kaska.

Checking out their web-site, not only was I impressed with their posh selection, but how medically inclined all their shoes are. As someone who has experienced horrible knee pain, especially when walking a lot (& I am an avid walker, so I continue to walk whenever I can). I was so excited about all the health perks within Vionic shoes.

While it was a tough decision, I chose The Venture Walker shoe, in hot pink. They’re as comfortable to wear all day as they are cute & sporty. Like with all Vionic shoes, they have a natural, built-in orthotic bed in the sole, which helps improve the common feet/back/knee pain you might feel after a long day. My foot soreness wasn’t as bad upon taking these off. I wore them to work today & cannot wait to tell you how they hold up when I wear ’em to The Happiest Place on Earth: Disneyland! 😉

Since I am always thinking ahead to other shoes I would like to get (sorry, Mike!), I am thinking of buying is The Glenda Wedge Backstrap sandal. Yep, they’ve got you covered with sandals, too, perfect with Summer upon us. Another reason why I would confidently purchase a pair of Vionic shoes is their 30 Day Guarantee; their orders come with a pre-paid return label, enabling you to where your shoes in& out for a month to make sure they’ve got the power you need in your shoe. Yep, Vionic is that certain you will love them!
