After the historic inauguration of Barrack Obama many journalists spoke of Mrs. Obama’s shoes. Through history from Cleopatra to Madonna we have been informed, through various sources (from hieroglyphics to Vogue), of the shoe preferences of famous females.
Shoes define an outfit, a lifestyle, a career and an attitude. Our grandmothers switched to low healed, “sensible” shoes that put comfort at the forefront and left style to bring up the rear. Enter Cole Hahn.
Cole Hahn, with their Nike technology innards, attends to both the aesthetics and the mechanics. They have enabled us to have style, while retaining the comfort of Granny’s little pumps. ATTITUDE—plain and simple, is the statement your shoes make. When we, at Aging But Dangerous, put on a great outfit we want to be shod in a style that says, “Hey, we are feeling good about ourselves and this little shoe says it all!” Cole Hahn has enabled us to do just that.
Oh sure, there are some good “also ran’s”: Dansko, Easy Spirit, Sofft……, you can visit www.mostcomfortableshoes , for a more comprehensive list and for ongoing updates. But just so you know; according to the American Pediatric Medical Association (APMA) 50 percent of Americans, aged 18-60 suffer from some kind of foot ailment; 12 percent of these ailments are related to wearing incorrect shoes. We are not even going to mention the long term impact that bad shoes have on your knees, hips and back.
So be good to your soul and your sole. Buy great looking shoes with huge comfort that make you feel Aging But Dangerous.

SPIRITED ADVICE II
THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON POO POO
Fabulous post! It’s such a great topic for women of any age. Now that I’m old enough to realize how much damage bad shoes can do (but still young enough to want something cute and fun), I am always on the lookout for stylish, comfortable and “safe” shoes…not an easy task. I plan to share the website linked above with my 19 year-old sister, who has serious foot problems but LIVES in her flip-flops.
