September 24, 2019 at 08:00PM by CWC Whenever the time comes to retire an old pair of running shoes, I repeat the same ritual. Laces in hand, I carry my sneakers to the trash, drop them inside, and proceed to ugly cry for the next 20 minutes. The waterworks portion of the footwear funeral might … Continue reading I’ve had a funeral for every pair of running shoes I’ve ever owned—here’s why

September 16, 2019 at 10:37PM by CWC I’m smack-dab in the middle of training for the New York City Marathon—and FYI (perhaps TMI?), my foot hygiene situation is not good. Heading out for 15-milers might be the exact opposite of getting a pedicure, and none of my scrubbing has yielded any aesthetic results. I’ve pretty … Continue reading It’s your socks, not your shoes, causing that colony of blisters on your feet
September 13, 2019 at 09:08PM by CWC I used to wear heels almost every day, until things like bills and meal prep and burnout became my real life.

August 20, 2019 at 07:34AM by CWC There’s nothing more important than landing in the right pair of shoes for your gym pursuits. That often starts with knowing what kind of foot you have.

August 13, 2019 at 12:00PM by CWC When you think of ugly shoes, your first thought is probably Birkenstocks.

July 14, 2019 at 07:00AM by CWC Every summer, my mother criticizes my commitment to closed-toed shoes, saying I have a “complex about my feet.” Well, mom, just because I don’t think my grounding digits are particularly elegant and I won’t throw down cash for routine pedicures doesn’t mean I have a foot complex. I … Continue reading A podiatrist’s top tips for wearing closed-toe shoes all summer long without suffocating your feet
July 11, 2019 at 05:00AM by CWC When I was younger, I subscribed to the philosophy that high heels were the only acceptable footwear choice—even when it was snowing out.

June 29, 2019 at 12:00PM by CWC We’ve all been there—you have that one pair of shoes that you’re dying to wear…but they hurt.

May 07, 2019 at 11:18AM by CWC As a kid, neon-themed school dances were my jam. Who can forget the American Apparel acid pink tights that made girls look like they were walking on highlighters?

March 22, 2019 at 03:00PM by CWC Growing up, my parents were the ones who dealt with my shoelaces. They taught me the bunny ear trick, sure, but lacing up my sneakers was a whole different story.

January 02, 2019 at 12:23PM I remember my first pair of running sneakers. Scene: 2008. I had just gotten into stringing together multiple miles for fun, and purchased a pair of Nikes at a local sports shop because they were A) inexpensive and B) nice to look at. Fast forward two years later, I quickly … Continue reading In the market for running shoes? Here are the new ones to know now
December 31, 2018 at 08:26AM It’s officially peak fuzzy shoe season. And this begs the question: Should you wear socks with shearling shoes—or does it defeat the purpose of swaddling your soles in fuzzy fleece?
