I would like to prematurely post a dedication for my spinoff blog (Shoe Shop Talk, yes, that's it over there on the right under my shoe blog blogroll) about shoes that are both stylish and comfortable. It is inspired by a woman working at the Maison Creole in the Providenciales airport where I bought my only souvenir — a horn necklace from Haiti (not more than 90 miles south).
While I stood there trying to decide which necklace to buy, the woman said her feet hurt, which was when I noticed she was barefoot. She said she stood for most of every day. I peeked at her shoes over by the register. Turquoise mini-wedge strappy sandals, I think.
Later, I realized this woman was a prime customer for the kind of shoe that I want to write about. And so I am dedicating my in-the-works blog — Shoe Shop Talk — to her and women all over who need to stand or want to walk for long periods and who want comfortable shoes that make their feet feel and look good.
