The wrong pair of
shoes can make your feet and legs ache, but the right pair, quickly become not only a favourite, but settle in like an old friend. My Born
shoes are my old friends, and a
product I would have a hard time living without.
For the most part, I
buy the cheapest and very best, functional and decent shoe I can afford on my budget, but I happened to pass through Macys one time and came upon a shoe sale there. I decided to stop and look to see what they had to offer that day.
Due to a bad injury, that has long since healed, but left me with an ankle that can pop and trip me with no notice, I can't wear high heals and to be honest, I'm glad I can't.
I used to watch my mother in her high heeled shoes, graceful and elegant, but she was always coming
home with painful, worn out feet. She also always seemed to have a pair of them at the shoe
repair shop for snapped heels or a broken piece. It didn't matter how expensive they had been at the onset either; it always happened to her.
Of course those
shoes were
fun to
play dress up with, because they were pretty and I wanted to be like my mother. I still have a few pairs of her more glamorous high heeled
shoes in my daughter's dress up box.
My Born
shoes are a step in progress for me. I would rather have comfortable feet so, I can walk a distance with no pain, than wear a
fashion statement out of vanity. My Born
shoes fit the bill for me and they have a certain kind of classic simple
style to them too.
The
shoes are hand sewn real leather and feel like a loved quality pair of shoes.
They slip on and off easily, but unlike other
shoes I have owned, I don't always automatically kick off my Born shoes, since they don't cause me discomfort. My second pair of Born
shoes are a slightly different design, but just as comfortable. I just haven't worn them in as much since the brown colored ones look better with more
clothing colours. Because they are good quality leather, after I had worn them for awhile, they took on the shape of my foot even more and fit my feet like they were formed with me and not a manufactured mold.
