blessed with two feet...i am also blessed with a fallen arch (this means "flat feet") and wide feet. hence, i have always compromised comfort for style. which leaves me sometimes crippled with pain.
and that is why i have since avoided shoes from vincci, nose, etc. shoes which are super comfortable, super affordable yet mass produced that SOMETIMES quality is compromised...fit might not be perfect, etc.
Disclaimer: This does not apply for all shoes from these stores. i HAVE encountered some comfortable ones especially from vincci +.
while flipping through my magazine, i came across an advertisement on 'Geox' - the shoes that breathe...
i have always associated this brand with the likes of 'Clarks'. comfortable but not extremely stylish. so, i was pleasantly surprised when i saw a beautiful array of patent leathers, stylish long squared fronts, chic details like buckles and a streamlined fits.
what makes the shoes "breathe"?
Geox breathes® patented system
Micro-holes in the rubber outsole let perspiration from the feet out of the shoes, the protective breathable membrane keeps water out and the feet dry.
THE OUTSOLE
Geox outsole challenged the historical conception of holes in shoes - the first step of the Geox revolution.
A series of micro-holes were made in the rubber outsole, positioned in correspondence of the highest concentration of sweat glands under the foot soles.
THE MEMBRANE
The Geox revolution has been made possible after extensive research and development of the membrane, made of a special micro-porous material which absorbs sweat through the insole and lets it out in the form of water vapour.
This process is made possible as the membrane`s micro-pores are larger than water vapour molecules, but smaller than water droplets - hence keeping water out and the feet dry.
however, this "technology" comes with a hefty price.
the shoes are retailing from RM250 - RM899!!
it is currently on sale (10% - 50%). so, if you would like to invest in some shoes for happier and healthier feet...hurry to the stores now.
as for moi? i don't think i can afford it right now. even though, my feet sighed in relief when i slipped them on yesterday...even though it looked so chic and cute on my tired feet...
so, for now...my dear flat, wide feet...take a deeeeeeep breathe...and hold...:)
p/s: am thinking of checking them out in london (in May!). I think the flats ranges around GBP75 = MYR369...which is almost MYR200 cheaper!
