The versatility of this boot is fantastic. Your feet stay really warm and cozy because of the soft, sheepskin insole.  You can also get a variety of looks by changing what you do with the shaft of the boot. Want to wear it with skinny jeans or leggings? Button the boot all the way up! Want a casual look? Scrunch the shaft down a bit. Want to wear it under slacks? Fold the shaft down.  Your look can change with your mood, your wardrobe, or the weather!

This is also a nice boot for those of us with thicker calves. The heathered merino wool gives so that your legs don’t have to feel constricted. I also particularly love the way they look and feel when they are folded down. It really does seem like I’ve got a comfy sweater on my feet; just what I crave during the cold weather.

Footwear etc. has the UGG Classic Cardy available in both gray and black. I can easily see both of those in my wardrobe!

UGG boots are perfect as holiday gifts. You’re giving a gift of warmth and cozy comfort to your loved ones. Oprah would never steer us wrong, check out the UGG Classic Cardy from UGG Australia. It’s an easy addition to your holiday list that everyone will love.

Available in black or brown, the Melissa contains Orthaheel’s patented Tri-planar Motion Control footbed, making this an incredibly stable shoe. The deep heel cups and arch supports make my feet feel rejuvenated! The toe box is wide, so my toes don’t feel confined.

It’s always important to me to try out shoes that are podiatrist-designed, and endorsed by wellness professionals I trust. Orthaheel shoes are recommended by Dr. Andrew Weil, who is a pioneer in the field of integrative medicine. Orthaheel shoes have also received the American Podiatric Medical Association’s seal of approval. I love that I can feel good about cute shoes that are good for my feet!

The popular Bailey Button boot has been around for a little while, but now UGG Australia has introduced it in some fantastic new colors! If you like jewel tones, you’ll love this boot in Jester Red, Cobalt, and Blackberry sheepskin. These gorgeous colors are brand new and are sure to be a hit with UGGs fans.

The Bailey Button boot continues to supply exceptional warmth and comfort due to the cozy sheepskin lining, and soft foam insole. The cuff can still be rolled down or worn up, depending on your mood and style preferences. But now you can have some exciting colors to add to your wardrobe! Just note that the first couple of times you wear them, these darker colors may transfer onto your socks, etc.

If you like buttons, UGG has the ultimate boot for you: the Bailey Button Triplet. This Ugg boot has all of the wonderful features of the Bailey Button, but in a taller boot with three buttons on the side. It’s similar to the Classic Tall, but with the button and loop closing that makes the Bailey Button so attractive. The Bailey Button Triplet is available in some exciting new colors as well: Chocolate, Grey, Deep Atlantic, Black, Chestnut and Sand Sheepskin. Choose a color to suit your mood!

Be sure to check out the Bailey Button and Bailey Button Triplet for some stylish warmth and comfort this fall!

 Designed by podiatrists and recommended by Dr. Andrew Weil on the Oprah show, Orthaheel flip flops, slides and sandals contain a built-in orthotic profile. The beauty of this is that they restore the natural alignment of your feet, which improves hip alignment and knee function. Orthaheels also reduce excess pronation – which can lead to flat feet. The deep heel cup provides Who wants to be in pain when you just want to dash out to the grocery store or go to the beach? I love the fact that they take literally 2 seconds to put on (the benefit of flip flops!) yet provide the comfort and style that I require! (And don’t we all require and deserve that?)

 With their flexible soles yet outstanding support, they are not only great for your feet and joints, they look great too! From casual styles like the Tide (available in fun colors like green, pink, and denim) to more dressy styles like the Seaside (available in Brown or Black Croc Leather), there’s a flip flop or sandal for all kinds of occasions. I’m excited to see sandals that I can wear on weekends or after work, but I think I really love the Seaside in Black Croc Leather because it’s perfect for a night out on the town! And men shouldn’t feel left out of the equation; the Ryder and the Kinetic are great options for them.

 Orthaheels are endorsed by the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), but you don’t sacrifice style for comfort. I have tried the flip flops, and they are light years more comfortable than any other flip flop I’ve ever owned. There are lots of new styles due out in April and are available for pre-order, so be sure to take a look! And don’t forget that there’s a 30-day money back guarantee, even if you have worn them outside! If Dr. Weil thinks they’re good enough for Oprah, aren’t they good enough for you?

USA Today recently published a wonderful piece on the very busy Tina Fey,  star of 30 Rock and now famous Saturday Night Live Sarah Palin impersonator.

A busy woman clearly needs comfortable shoes, and the article notes her footwear choice:

“In an industry in which a woman can be either gorgeous or funny but rarely both, she’s the rare exception. Fey can star in her own American Express ads, chasing Martin Scorsese through an airport, and rock a fancy David Meister frock on the red carpet. But she’s still a comedy nerd, not entirely at home in the spotlight and still most comfortable in her broken-in Dansko clogs, which she slips into on set when the camera stops rolling.

And therein perhaps lies the key to Fey’s appeal. Even when she was first garnering attention for her writing on Saturday Night Live, Fey came across not as a ham, but as the smart, polite girl next door — even as she gently layered on the sarcasm and wit.”

Take a look at what Footwear etc. has to offer in the way of Dansko clogs. We can’t guarantee you’ll be transformed into the next SNL writer/performer when you slip them on, but we’ve heard from many customers that Dansko shoes offers great comfort for those on their feet all day.
