Ecco Durango Pump: My Review

I love everything about the Ecco Durango pump  from the warm caramel color to the stacked 1 3/4" wedge heel to the stylish button detail. But the best features are its comfortable fit and ability to make my biggish foot look smallish. From the look of the shoe on my foot, you may think I'm in excruciating pain as it appears to cut across the bunion, but the vamp just misses the area by a half inch making this a very wearable pump. Although the toe box isn't as wide as it might be on a Keen sandal, it's pretty generous for a pump. The round toe which sometimes appears too girlish on certain shoes manages to look professional.

The Ecco Durango runs true to size and best fits a medium width foot. Consider my forefoot is a medium-wide due to bunions, but my heel is a narrow-medium and these fit like a dream with no heel slippage (I ordered the 41 and wear a 10 normally).   I especially like how they look with my dark-wash jeans--Clinton and Stacey would approve!

Teva Makayla Mary Jane on Mary Jean

Sometimes I suffer from Zapposvision after staring at shoes on the computer for too long. It's my way of keeping current on new styles and brands, but it exhausts  the eyes staring at little images of side-by-side shoes, one facing east, the other west. The only cure for the condition is to get away from the computer and out into the real world of real shoes on real feet. Enter the Teva Makayla Mary Jane on Mary Jean!

I met Mary Jean at the gym the other day in the darling post- workout outfit seen above. Normally I tend to mind my own business and get in and out of the gym as fast as I can, but her shoes caught my eye and I introduced myself. Not having my camera with me, Mary Jean was thoughtful enough to send a picture my way of her Tevas. Mary Jean was drawn not only by the comfort factor of the Makayla, but also its eco-friendliness. Although the upper is made of full-grain leather, the lining and sole are made of post-consumer recycled materials. Available in three colors for $69.95 at OnlineShoes.com, free shipping and exchanges.

Comfortable Shoes for Bunions

1. Arcopedico: Zappos customers agree that the soft leathers conform to the foot making room for a bunion without causing pain. Great arch support and extra heel cushioning.  Styles to check out: Shawna, Rose and N17.

2. Naot: With an anatomical contoured footbed and generous toe box, Naot is a customer favorite for accommodating bunions while providing excellent support for rest of the foot. Closed-toe styles to check out: Gardenia and Bramble.

3. Wolky: You have to see the Jewel sandal on Katrina's feet at Puglyfeet.com to envision the full cuteness potential (she also has a pair of Arcopedico's on in the same post). With rocker soles and arch support, the Jewel makes a great walking sandal. Just adjust the straps over your bunions and go!
