Tina Fey in her Dansko Clogs

Tina Fey in Her Dansko Clogs

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.

Oprah and MBT Shoes

O Magazine

MBT Shoes have made it onto the radar of O Magazine this month!  Check out the article from the September 2008 issue.  The author talks about her own experiences trying out the MBT M. Walk Pink Shoes and the experiences of others including “a chic art gallery owner, a fellow beauty editor, and my own mother.”  As we consistently hear from our own customers about MBT Shoes, the article’s author heard familiar comments about better posture, toner muscles and a firmer fanny!

Keen on Keen Shoes for Cancer Walk

Keen Womens Newport H2 - Navy Dream
Yesterday I walked 5 Kilometers in my Keen sandals during the Lance Armstrong Livestrong Challenge in San Jose, California, and felt like I was strolling on soft clouds the entire distance. I love my Keen Newport sandals — they’re ultra-comfortable, form fitting, supportive, and the toe cap protects my vulnerable toes from bumps and scrapes (frequent for a klutz like me). I own this style in several colors and wear them for informal family gatherings as well as hikes with friends in the foothills.

Shoe mavens will talk at length about the advantages of this finely designed “outdoorsman” sandal: it’s completely waterproof (and machine washable), has gripping non-slip tread, an anti-microbial in-sole, and so on. What sold me on these Keen shoes was COMFORT. If I can walk five kilometers on the asphalt roads of a major metropolis to help raise thousands of dollars for Cancer patient support and return home with happy feet and knees, I’m certainly ready to share how keen I am on Keen Newport.
Footwear etc. has many Keen choices (many surprisingly stylish) worth trying on. Visit us on-line or in one of our many stores.

UGG Zippered Knightsbridge Boot, I Dub Thee Fabulous!

UGG Knightsbridge… where do I begin? They’re basically the Classic Tall UGG, which I swear I wear every single day in the winter months, but with a zipper in the back!

Because here’s the thing, UGGs are here to stay. They are insanely comfortable and warm and convenient and they look cute with everything.

I love the mini-skirt with tall UGGs, UGGs with a tunic and leggings, UGGs over skinny jeans, UGGs with the sweats tucked in, and then my personal fave — UGGs under pajama pants when my sweetheart Miley (the labrador retriever, not the pop star) wakes me up at 5 a.m. to go for a walk.

I’m as snug as a bug in my UGGs. And now, with a zipper, there’s less of a fight to take them off… because yes, sadly, sometimes you do have to take them off.

Footwear etc. sells this style in Espresso, Black, Sand, and Chestnut Sheepskin colors. With free shipping, the price can’t be beat.

Naot Ashley Epitomizes Comfort with Style

Naot shoes are known for their comfort and simple elegance and if you have yet to take a close look at a pair, I strongly recommend trying a pair of Naot Ashley.

One customer wrote, “These sandals are just wonderful. I have an arch problem and these sandals fit so well that I hardly know I am wearing shoes. The cork insole molds to the shape of my foot and makes every day walking a pleasure, as well as being stylish.”
Buzzillions.com reviewers give this Naot shoe a 4.7 out of 5 star rating. It’s worthwhile reading the overwhelming praise shared on this site. But if you’re the type that goes for professional input, look no further than TV Guide’s April 14 – 20 issue in which the costume designer of Desperate Housewives, Cate Adair, picks Naot Ashley as the perfect sandal for a “mom on the go” like Lynette, played by Felicity Huffman.
