Dansko Drea Fisherman Sandal

Love the mixed-metallics on this one - it would go with so many outfits!  Also comes in black, white, turquoise.  Currently on sale at Amazon.  The only thing holding me back is that I'm lazy when it comes to buckles ... I like to slide into sandals.  But these are so cute I might have to overcome that lazy factor.

Update:  just decided to order these, so I'll post a road-review once they arrive and I try them out!

Jambu Sugar Wedge Sandal

Spotted the Jambu Sugar Wedge sandal on Amazon - sooo much fun! Black is classic but the red has stolen my heart. I've had other Jambu sandals (also known as J-41) and have loved them.  Great soles and long lasting.  I have a pair of Jambu Sugar Wedges on order and will update a roadtest of the sandal as soon as it arrives!

North Face Shellista II Tall Winter/Snow Boot

We live in Colorado, and just had a major snowstorm, dumping 16" of snow on us. Each day I trudge up to school and have been jealous of moms wearing cute, stylish, warm tall winter boots. Me, I was up there with freezing cold feet in Danksos. Then I saw these in the mall the other night - the North Face Shellista II. I like the styling of the North Face Shellista II better than its cousin, the Thermoball - but both are built on the same sole. It is surprisingly hard to find a good snow boot with an inflexible sole.

North Face Thermoball Winter / Snow Boot

It is surprisingly hard to find a good quality winter/snow boot that has an inflexible sole.  Sorels are so flexy you can tie them into a pretzel knot!

But the North Face Thermoball is cute and the sole is inflexible and built like a rocker - and looks good too!  It comes in a variety of colors.



Jambu (J-41) Journey Sandal

I have several pairs of Jambu sandals, and I love them.  As comfortable as Danskos - built with an inflexible sole - but without screaming "I AM A CLOG".  I have two pairs with varying heel heights, and both are very comfortable for long days of walking.

So I was super excited to see this new sandal from Jambu - the Journey.  It comes in a rainbow of shades - so you can be way more creative than the usual black or neutral offerings.  It is summer - show off your fun toe polish with a pop of color in your shoes!  I haven't been able to find these to try them on just yet, but the sole looks identical to the sandals I already own.  I have a pair ordered and will update it once I've had a chance to try them on!
