When you are getting ready to head out to the office, you find the perfect suit, pant or skirt, but have you thought about the ideal office shoes. Naturalizer wants to make sure that you find the appropriate shoes that work for you.
In a time when we are focused on being healthy, whether it be through exercise or eating the right foods, healthy shoes are something to really pay attention to. It is important for each woman to pick the shoe that fits her style, personality, and individual needs. Finding the right office shoes that complement your stature and dignified appearance can be a little on the tricky side since it must be both appropriate and comfortable on your tortured feet.
There are so many different styles, textures, colors, and trends of women’s office shoes to look into, and it can become mind-boggling after a while. Heels have certainly come a long way, and according to doctors, anything over 2 inches turns the simple act of walking into a painful and awkward feat you have to practice to master. The downward point of the foot does not allow for proper shock absorption, which makes your hips and knees work harder, causing pains where they otherwise should not be. It also makes wearing flats that much more painful as well. Beauty is a pain, they say. We suppose that is correct.
Plus, everything has their pros and cons, the pros of heels being the muscles developed in the shapely calves, giving one a longer and leaner appearance, while some studies have also shown a strengthening of the pelvic muscles with three-inch heels, something that comes in handy during childbirth. At the end of the day, though, you need to pay attention to the type of heels you are wearing.
Two-inch heels in moderation are a plus, while you should definitely look for something that gives a good lift, absorbs shock and supports the arch properly. New technologies are being utilized at the moment to ensure exactly that on as many heels as possible.
Since it is still warm outside, I am looking for a comfortable sandal that still looks great with my outfits. I love the Naturalizer Tea Black Floral Sandal. This sandal is chic and can also be used for a fun BBQ, but fits with office attire. It has an easy heel. With an oversized bow decorating the upper band makes getting sunny days all the easier. These are so comfortable and easy to walk in and with a cushioned sole it helps alleviate back pain.
Another shoe that is very popular and wears well to the office is the men inspired flats. I am in love with the Juliette Loafer. These are comfortable on your feet and good for your knees, hips, and spine. They have a polished look and are sophistication. It is an exceptional product and you can find a color that matches your outfits.
Another trend is Dressy Sneaker. You can slip them on and head out for a very comfortable work period. You cannot always wear these office shoes, of course, but you certainly will not be dressing down with them either. They are the perfect swap out stilettos with when you are on the move.
At the end of the day though, pick something easy to slip on and off, like loafers, for when you are on your feet for hours on end, dressed up beautifully in interesting colors and added detailing. Sporty pumps with a mesh body also work for a lightweight but trendy final look.
Be sure that whatever you put on, it ensures you do not get blisters at the end of the day. Your health is most important here, and style should only be made to match after the former is taken care of.
