Fame ---in several colors-nice embossed leather footbed, stone medallion thong with great top stitching |
Not that we've had the chance...but we are so ready for sandal weather...!
At the snow laden Outdoor Retailer show this past January ---we previewed some pretty and comfy samples... from the new to us
TÄOS footwear brand---a women's collection inspired by the natural beauty of Taos, New Mexico.
|
Carnival-multi-straps for great fit- w/ cork contour footbed-Latex footbed, lined in suede, user friendly wedge |
Quality leathers, crafty embellishments like tiny studs, embroidered elements, multi-tasking earthy tones, durable rubber outsoles...and easy on the feet= very user friendly.
|
Siren-full grain leather -with multi tone metal studs inspired by tin work from New Mexico...footbeds are cushion-y microfiber too...with nice imprint |
Of course, in our denim centric life---these sandals-flats, wedges, thong flip flops...are workable...but dress-up needs are addressed to by this label too--including sweet, block heeled Mary-Jane styles from the Leawood collection...with the removable signature Curves and Pods® footbeds-(or others as equally cushy)... that hold the foot in place (the curve part)---while cushioning where needed (the pod part)...
and treated with Aegis microbe shield to control foot odors.

Arcade-antique medallions-upper distressed full grain leather-w/ nice waxed effect |
|
Angel---our fav for dressier occasions-sweet scallop detail on instep-full grain leather |
|
Untold-laser cut ballet flats-Curves and Pods removable footbed...a NYC keep in the hauler bag staple when our spiked heels have to get removed for the subway ride home.....Made in Spain |

Miracle- Full Grain leather cut-outs...with Taos Stand-up footbed with arch support and cupping to hold feet in place |

KORK-EASE footwear is our go to kicks-AND not just us, btw-we noticed--- for comfortable height.
Seriously--- we wore all during New York Fashion Week when it wasn't a snowing sloshy mess. Inch for inch-really the most comfortable boots with some height-that we own---our fav---- the Marlo boots ($210) that even work (as in we don't turn an ankle and trip)--- when we ran down/ running down those subway steps for an incoming train.

Mid-century American patio life à la Palm Springs---is EXACTLY what we thought when we got the link to their quirky cute new ad campaign.
VERY FUN.
