Summer Shoes Oh Ten

I wanted to share two pairs of shoes that I have been wearing this summer because shoe shopping can be quite tricky for someone with Cerebral Palsy!

1). Jambu Planet
Positive: Good all-around shoe, has good support, the straps are hidden when these shoes are worn with pants (personally my favorite pair of pants to wear with these shoes are dark-washed jeans).
Negative: I got blisters the first few times after wearing these. Maybe a half-size larger would eliminate the blister problem?
2). Teva Devi
Positive: Like a pair of flip-flops, but with ankle straps. Hallelujah! Finally, Teva made a pair of shoes that is both stylish and functional.
Negative: Not much support!

What's your favorite pair of shoes?

The Big Dilemma: Shoes

I don't know about you, but for me, as a person living with Cerebral Palsy buying shoes has always been my biggest achilles heel. I'll have an adorable outfit, but not the perfect shoes to match. This comes from the fact that if I were to have the perfect shoes to match (i.e. narrow, non-supportive flats, sandals, or clogs) my walk would either be extremely exaggerated or I would fall flat on my face! So, after many trips to the mall and many stores I have finally found the perfect shoe source Zappos, or in other words, the shoe store that is only on the internet and is complete with free returns! Scrolling through multitudes of pages, the possibilities are endless with the number of" "Cerebral Palsy-approved" shoes is infinitely endless. Finally, I must share that my favorite shoe company is J-41. They are the makers of the fabulous pair of shoes above!
