Shoes for Super Women of Any Age

Shoes for Super Woman

 

Clogs and sandals are all well and good if foot comfort is a priority, but maybe pink clogs just don’t do it for you. If high heels are not only a fashion statement but part of your “power woman” image, what are you going to do?

 

Christina Brinkley, writing for The Wall Street Journal (Thursday, April 10, 2008) touches on the subject of comfort and the power heel. A small but increasingly popular number of shoe companies have been busy trying to combine height and comfort. By the time you reach 40, 50, 60, or beyond, the thought of wearing shoes that put extreme pressure on the ball of your foot is painful just to think about.

 

Help is on the way. The top contender for comfort and style is Taryn Rose. If you really value comfort you won’t blanch quite as quickly when you see the $495 price tag. Remember that you are paying over $100 for athletic shoes today so it might not be a bad idea to think about one pair of really good shoes. They were tested for both style and comfort and the model pictured actually looks like a shoe that will never go out of style.

 

Taryn Rose isn’t the only company out there and the author foot tested several other brands that she found quite acceptable. Stuart Weitzman heels log in at $275 and get top marks for style. Cole Haan’s has a $275 Nike Air but watch the pointy toes (author did mention that they made her toes numb). Naturalizer, Aerosoles and Ecco brands feature shoes that blend style and comfort at a more affordable price.

 

The good news is that we are going to see a lot more of this kind of thing, so if you can’t give up your high heels, help is on the way.
