Comfortable Sandals for Women with Problem Feet

Not everyone can wear stilettos and high heels all day long! They are pretty and all, but let’s face it, most of them are pretty darn uncomfortable! Don’t worry, there are comfortable shoes in the world. You just have to know where to look.

When I was pregnant, my feet grew (swelled) almost a whole shoe size and none of my shoes fit. I pretty much lived in flip flops for my entire pregnancy because it was the only thing that would fit on my poor, fat feet. They weren’t very comfortable though, nor did they provide any support. Pregnancy does a lot to your body and wearing comfortable shoes or sandals during that time is quite important.

Pregnancy isn’t the only time comfortable shoes are a requirement. If you have young children you need to chase around all day, chances are you opt for comfortable sandals during the summer. And yet if your kids are all grown up and you are over 40, you probably have trouble feet and can’t wear those pumps anymore anyway.

Whether you suffer from diabetes or just have problem feet with issues like corns, bunions, custom orthotics or have recently had foot surgery, you need a comfortable pair of sandals you can wear all summer long. We found JUST the pair!

My Review:

DiabeticShoesHub.com specializes in offering a wide selection of comfortable footwear for people with problem feet. I had the opportunity to review the Drew Milan Sandals and I found these shoes to be supremely comfortable. Not something I would wear everyday because they aren’t the most fashionable shoes in the universe, but if you are looking for comfort, support, ability to adjust and customize the fit as well as narrow and wide widths, then these are an ideal pair.

The casual style makes them versatile and easy to wear with anything in your wardrobe. The other day I wore them with my leopard print jeans rolled up, a white tank and a chambray button down shirt. I wore them all day and was amazed that I completely forgot they were even on my feet! I definitely recommend these sandals to anyone who is looking for supreme comfort this summer.

They have so many cute styles and colors to choose from! See them all at www.gumigemusa.com


We had our Assistant Editor Lisa Penny, who has TWINS, review one of the Gumigem Teething Necklaces and put them to the ultimate test!

Here is what Lisa had to say…

The Gumigem teething necklace is such a great concept! I was unsure at first because, with twin babies, I have gotten out of the habit of wearing necklaces for obvious reasons.

Soon after sporting the heart-shaped Gumigem necklace, I forgot it was there (when not in use.) That’s how comfortable the cord is around my neck. The teether is a beautiful rose-color too that goes well with many of my nursing tops. The babies love to look at, grab to play with and of course put it in their little mouths to chew on.

If they ever pull too tightly, it doesn’t hurt like a normal necklace, but rather come right undone, due to the easy release clasp. It is the perfect combination of fashion, convenience and need. Whoever created this product definitely knows busy moms and their teething babies. Thank you!

Here is her daughter, Olivia, enjoying her mommy’s fashionable necklace!

Update Your Dining Room Decor with BrylaneHome

I recently updated my dining room decor with a gorgeous southwestern inspired stoneware dinnerware set from BrylaneHome.

i need these striped dishes

summer dishes

I absolutely adore these dishes! The colors are fresh, vibrant and colorful. Perfect for spring and summer parties or for anyone that enjoys a little spice in their dining room decor.

The Hand-Painted Santa Fe Collection at BrylaneHome.com consists of a stoneware dinnerware set (as seen above) and matching accessories like a gorgeous platter, pitcher, glasses and flatware.

I’m totally in love with this collection so much so that I’m considering redecorating my entire dining room around these dishes! I currently have Italian inspired decor and am considering the possibility of moving more towards a global/mexican inspired theme in my kitchen and dining area. If I wasn’t in the middle of a living room renovation, I definitely would. I can’t start another project right now though, so meanwhile I just enjoy these dishes with my current decor. Luckily, I have all my outdoor furniture out on my back deck now and we can start grilling and entertaining! I love Spring.

With the affordable prices at BrylaneHome, you can easily update your dining room decor for less than $100 and still make a big impact like I did with these dishes that were only $35 for the complete table setting for 4 people. I’m going to get another set so I can serve 8 people.

If your dining room and kitchen really need an overhaul, they have affordable options for that too like Peel-And-Stick Wood-Look Plank Flooring, Peel-And-Stick Wall Metal Embossed Tiles and Kitchen Carts / Islands.

Shop BrylaneHome.com today and let me know what you find!

Sperry Boat Shoes

It took me three days of continuous wear to break them in, first day with thin socks. Now, they are super comfortable and I wear them all the time. I slip them on to run outside and hang laundry, I put them on to run to the store, or I put together a cute outfit to go with them, like the outfit above.

The Must-Have Item for All Sock-Free Shoes

With “barefoot style” shoes like oxfords and boat shoes being all the rage this season, you will definitely need a pair of Sock-Free Saviors from Foot Petals.

Sock-Free Saviors from Foot Petals
($18.95 per pair from Zappos.com)

Tired of wearing socks with those low profile skimmers, flats, and sneakers and having them obnoxiously stick out in an annoying fashion? Ditch the socks and slip these Foot Petals® sock-free saviors into your favorite shoes for instant foot protection! You’ll be able to wear your favorite shoes and feel great at the same time! And honestly, isn’t that every gal’s dream come true?

Well it certainly is! You can’t always wear “fashionable socks” or ankle socks with every style of shoe. Some styles just call for bare feet like Sperry’s and flats.

Sock-Free Saviors have a DRI comfort moisture management system that is built into the terry cloth padding that keeps feet cool and dry all day long while the PORON® cushioning absorbs shock making these ideal for any pair of shoes that you wear often.

The amazing Microban anti-microbial protection in these shoe liners doesn’t rub, wear, or wash away AND they fits all types of closed-toes shoes. If they get dirty, just gently hand wash in cold water with mild detergent and dry flat. Best of all, Foot Petal products are proudly made in the U.S.A. Score!!!

Here are a couple of pairs I’m wearing sock-free saviors in right now…

I really had a great time searching for the best designer deals they had to offer and I really couldn’t believe some of the things I found! Check out the Current/Elliott jeans I found on the sale rack for $39! If they were my size, I definitely would have taken those babies home with me.

Here is what I bought…

FLORALS: I found the best of both worlds with this top. It’s a beautiful floral pattern AND a peplum style top. Originally $16.99 – got it on sale for $7.00.
