Despite my penchant for Loubotins for special occasions, when it comes to everyday real life I am a practical shoe girl at heart. Obviously fashion and style are important (I mean c’mon, I am a fashion and beauty writer) but comfort reigns supreme. I gave up jamming my feet into ill-fitting fancy footwear years ago. I’m all for cute shoes but comfort is a priority.
When I learned of Tsubo, a shoe brand that incorporates both metropolitan design and ergonomically correct comfort, naturally my ears perked. Tsubo creates shoes for the design conscious yet comfort driven consumer. Translation: Girls like moi who spend the day running around New York City!
My Tsubo crush du jour is the Messela boot in Chestnut Brown ($200). These babies go the distance and withstand my daily grind in the concrete jungle. The equestrian inspired detail adds a rich touch to the shaft. The boot has elasticized gussets for custom fit. The leather insole provides maximum support and extra cushioning with every step. My favorite feature by far is this nubby traction grip on the bottom of the sole! These boots are made for walking!
If you seek form, function, and fashion give Tsubo a try. Your feet will love you!
