All My Sunbeams

I live in an arid part of the country–and have since I went to college.  Not that I’m in the desert (any more), but still, humidity is not a big thing here.  I’ve noticed this have a BIG effect on my feet.  I struggled for so many years with cracked, dry feet.  Finally–I’ve discovered the summer solution:

You may not think your footwear has anything to do with your feet being cracked & dry, but I say it does!!  I actually did a bit of research before I bought my first pair last summer.  To sum it up–the open heel on sandals and flip-flops creates too much pressure on your foot–not enough support for the sides of your heel.  So your foot is squashed and the sides dry out and get cracked.  When I wear closed heel shoes–this doesn’t happen.  My heel is enclosed–no gravity-squashing.  Some other benefits:

1.  They’re fun and girly w/o being uncomfortable.

2.  I can use and abuse these things (I don’t expect to wear them more than one summer)

3.  they’re cheap

4.  you can wear them barefooted.

5.  they slide right on and stay on (thanks to elastic)

But the best thing is no more cracked feet.
