The Great Shoe Search of 2010

It’s time, once again, to search for a pair of warm-weather shoes. I have an ongoing battle with plantar fasciitis. It was dormant for a while thanks in large part to not being able to walk for very long distances due to my gimpy-ass legs, but as my legs have been more capable of walking, I’ve been doing more walking, and as a result, the plantar fasciitis is back with a vengeance. As such, I am looking for shoes – sandals, preferably – that are as cute as they are comfortable.

To that end, I Googled “plantar fasciitis cute shoes” or something to that effect and read a couple of articles about brands who can fit this criteria. Off to Zappos, and I came up with a few possibilities:

These are a few that have caught my eye so far. In my ideal world, I would own a pair of shoes that could be worn with every outfit for every occasion and look appropriate, sort of straddling the line between dressing up and down, like having a dress or shirt that can go from day to night by switching accessories. I want shoes that work that way, too. I’m focusing on black, mostly, because that’s the most versatile. Some of these shoes almost approach sexy. Almost.
