Spring is almost here and we can start thinking about wearing sandals here in Holland. I hate wearing shoes that hurt my feet and it would seem most fashionable shoes double up as instruments of torture. It has been my ongoing mission to find fashionable, attractive shoes that don’t hurt. Some shoe companies are catching on. Clarks has a great collection this coming season. I bought some Clarks shoes last summer and I loved them so much I could have married them (though my fiance wasn’t too impressed when I said this). They are beautiful and it’s like walking on air when I wear them. Anyway this spring strappy sandals are back in and I’m hoping these sandals are as comfortable as they are beautiful.

This type of shoe is perfect for those of us with thick calves and ankles. The fact that the shoe has a wedge heel balances out the thickest of calves. The absence of straps across the ankles compliments thicker ankles.
