Happy Feet

When we went to Kernersville a few weeks ago for Spring Fling, after lunch Marianne, Judy and I popped into a cute little shop. I found these adorable shoes! They are made by Okabashi and are oh, so comfortable! They are even endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association (which should make my chiro happy!!) I am going to take them to my podiatrist next week to see what he thinks. I've just discovered their web-site and don't see the ones I bought on it. It's a good thing too because I paid $30 for my shoes and there's not a pair over $15.00 on the website. But, now, I think I'll buy some of the flip flops (Ocean) and I like the Wave ones. Check out their website and make your feet happy!!

I have gotten lots of compliments on my shoes. They came with the pink and brown ribbon (seen below) on them which was really cute and "preppy". I went to Michael's and bought a few spools of ribbon and have been having fun changing out the ribbon to match my outfits!



Just for summer, here are the top ten Summer Foot Care Tips: (from Okabashi)



1. Keep your feet clean. Wash and dry your feet thoroughly before putting on shoes.

2. Wear good supportive shoes, especially if you will be on your feet a lot.

3. Put away your winter shoes & wear good quality sandals or tennis shoes.

4. Don't forget sunscreen. With flip-flops and sandals, protect your feet from UV rays.

5. Wear flip-flops or slides in public locker rooms - avoid fungi and bacteria that is lurking there.

6. Avoid going barefoot (awwww - my favorite thing to do in summer!).

7. When traveling, take breaks from sitting & move around. Wiggle your toes.

8. Wear shoes that fit properly and don't wear the same shoes every day.

9. After a long day of walking, treat your feet to a soak and a foot rub.

10. Take care of your nails and cuticles to prevent infection.
