Alternatives to high heels (museum shoes)
Posted on | May 18, 2009 | 2 Comments
Sometimes, you or a loved one may be tempted to wear heels to a museum. I spotted these intrepid museum-goers at the De Young on a Friday night. It was full of people dancing to live music, checking out art, watching films, and making art. Perhaps the high-heeled were wearing the shoes because it was museum party time. But, high heels can make you sick. The reproductive organs, feet, and spine pay for what seems to look cute. Usually, high-heeled feet feel like they’ve been walking like this at the end of the day/night:

Museum shoes should be comfortable, allowing for half an hour to three hours of standing on your feet. If you need to run out of the museum, supposing an exhibit disappointed you, your shoes should help you get you out, fast. And if you like an exhibit, your comfy shoes will help you enjoy it longer.
If you wear heels, what makes you wear them? And if you’re trying to break the high-heel habit, what shoes would you recommend for wearing to a museum and/or escaping?

This is something I am expert in. I have spent years searching for comfortable and attractive shoes that I can walk miles in.
My top two are: Dansko clogs and anything by Naot. After that, anything by Doc Marten. But you have to be a bit of a rrriot girl for that.

I have the Dansko clog with a strap over the ankle. Comfy. However, I have to be very careful to not step on a crack or anything that will throw me off balance because the shoes tend to fold under. I’ll have to try Naot. Thanks!
