Monica and Jean are too polite to mention that, when it comes to my devotion to Dansko shoes, I sound like a broken record (a quaint term!) I was introduced to them during a bleak bout of plantar fasciitis. The fit was extraordinarily comfortable. The heel height seemed to relieve the pressure of fasciitis.

The runners’ quest: maintain happy feet. I can stand or walk endlessly in my Danskos’. Once, I inadvertently hiked in them for 7 kilometers (each way) through sun baked southern France during a blistering heat wave. (Our beach destination, the Calanques de Cassis was dazzling!) My feet felt fine and the experience cemented my long term, monogamous relationship with Dansko.

Dansko was founded in 1990 by a Danish couple. Each style features “a roomy toe box” (to promote circulation), a “stress reducing bottom” and exceptional arch support. They have become the shoe of choice for professionals who spend a great deal of time on their feet; nurses, doctors and chefs. [click to continue…]

Shop It To Me Running

This new web service could not only be a recession buster, but a time saver for us busy running women.  My savvy niece Devon Ruth sent this to me and I have already signed up.  My preferences are noted (Asics Gel Kayano size 9, any bargain running gear in S,M). Fabulous idea for running fashionistas/recessionistas!
