The Next Step

Naot is known for comfort and style, but they have really outdone themselves with the Kate. This sleek sandal has all the comfort of similar styles but with the delicate strapping and glossy colors, it has a dressier look. I love the cherry red, but I also love the versatility of the patent black, and the glossy wood. This is a necessary purchase for the upcoming season.

We all know someone that is on his or her feet for hours and could really use some relief. How about the gift of a great pair of shoes this holiday season, and why should the savvy internet customers not get the great after Thanksgiving deals too. Therefore, we at the Next Step are running our After Thanksgiving Dansko Sale. All Dansko purchased via phone order between November 23-25 will get an additional $10.00 off our already low price on our favorite Danish shoe. It is a great time to buy gifts or stock up for you. Remember in order for the discount to be used you must call us at 888-732-2467. Feel free to contact us with any questions and have a Happy Turkey Day.

 

Hanukkah is around the corner and instead of the usual dreidel and gelt, how about something they really want. Like some sumptuous skin care from the Dead Sea Treasures collection. For the die hard Naot wearer, some replacement foot beds to rejuvenate their favorite pair would be much appreciated. What about for the special lady in your life. A lovely pair of Beautifeel dress pumps would defiantly win some brownie points. Come check out all the lovely gift ideas we have here at the Next Step.

I like them tall, good looking, and stretchy. Boots that is! Introducing the Kelly boot by Rieker. This fabulous little number has that lovely low heel equestrian style that has been all over the fall runways. Unlike many other calf boots, this baby has some stretch to accommodate some generous gams.

There seems to be two modes for flat shoes. Either they are far too girly or a little too plain. Naot answered this quandary with the Matai. Comfy and very practical, it’s a sporty little flat with just the right touch of whimsy. I’m particularly draw to the green, you’d be surprised how neutral sage green can be in a wardrobe.  However the metal, bronze and black are quite delicious as well.

That is right our favorite brand, just got even better. Starting today until the 13^th of October all phone orders for Think! Shoes are an extra $20.00 off. This offer is limited to Think! Shoes only and must be phoned-in in order to receive the discount. Please call us with your orders or questions at toll-free 1-888-732-2467.

You may know Dansko as a top-notch clog, but did you know that Dansko has deep roots in the equestrian world. World-class equestrian action returns to highlight the 19^th annual Dansko Fair Hill International Festival in the Country, October 18-21.  This year's Festival features competition in two equestrian disciplines, as well as a wide array of family entertainment and attractions, in the beautiful countryside of Fair Hill, Maryland.

I’m sure many of us haven’t thought much about how healthy our feet are. Well the good folks at The Foot Health Foundation of America think about it a lot. They think about it so much that they created this handy quiz (linked below) to help you gage your foot health. Healthy feet, leads to more activity and the more activity we have the longer we can stay mobile and in good health. Even just a simple walk around the neighborhood can mean the difference between a healthy lifestyle and being a coach potato. Take a look at this fun little questionnaire, and enjoy your healthy feet.

Healthy Feet 

If you have read this blog often then you would know that I am a total convert for MBT. I was unsure until I got a pair and they took so much pressure off my knees I just fell in love with them. Even if you have no huge health problem, the MBTs are great to just help you build better posture and have a more elegant stance. Like Tim Gunn says, "Posture is Half the Battle"
