5 Reasons I Swapped My Old Sneakers, My House Slippers and My Shoe Inserts for One Pair of Wide Toe Shoes
The short version: there are 11 pairs of shoes in my closet, and since the first chilly morning of September I have reached for the same pair every single day. The sneakers that pinch by lunchtime, the slippers I used to change into the minute I got home, the inserts that cost more than the shoes they went in: all retired. More than 10,000 women have made the same move. Here is what we figured out.
1. They Pass for Sneakers, Not Orthopedic Shoes
Most wide toe shoes give themselves away. The bulky round front, that clinic-beige color, the kind of shoe that makes you look older before you have taken a single step.
These have proper laces, a soft knit upper and a slim everyday sole. My daughter wanted to know where I bought my new sneakers. She has no clue my toes finally have room to breathe in there.
2. On My Feet From Morning to Night, and Fine
Last Saturday went like this: farmers market at 8, a couple of hours at the orchard with my grandson, then most of the afternoon standing at the kitchen counter while the pie baked.
The same pair from start to finish. No switch to slippers mid-afternoon. No sitting on the bottom stair rubbing my arches. They are barely heavier than a pair of socks, and by dinner my feet felt like they had taken the day off.
3. One Tug on the Cord and You Are Ready to Go
The laces stretch, so there is nothing to tie. Pull the little cord lock once, it holds right where you leave it, and from then on you just slip in standing up, coat already on, keys in your hand.
No more bending down by the front door. If your back or your hips get a vote every time you bend, you know what those 2 seconds are worth.
4. Wet Leaves, Dewy Grass, Slick Kitchen Floors
Around here, October means soggy leaves on the driveway and a wet lawn until lunchtime. That is exactly when I used to shuffle along like I was walking on ice.
The sole is thin and flat, with a tread that holds on instead of slipping. Now I walk the dog through the park without a second thought. Feeling sure-footed again helped me more than any cushioning ever did.
5. Right Now It Is Buy 1, Get 1 Free
Two pairs in two colors. One for the park and school pickup, one you keep clean for going out. Or one for you and one for your best friend. Every order comes with easy, no-fuss returns.
The fall shades sell out first every year. If yours is still available, I would not wait.
