Hey awesome ones... you know how much I love my subscribers and
thanks for putting ideas in comments and even requests now for me to do a certain kind
of video and a few of the requests have been for me to do a video on low or flat
shoes so I'm gonna do that for you and even though you see, in a lot of my
videos, I'm in a kitten heel or a high heel I do have some of my favorite low
heeled shoes, so you know what? If you can't wear a high heel shoe or if you
don't want to wear a high heel shoe or if maybe you're just trying to add to
your collection and you want to get some ideas from me of what my favourites are
stay tuned it's gonna happen in just a few seconds
So before I get into the video about my favorite shoes I just thought I'd take a
moment to talk about foot care because if you're finding you can't wear a high
heel or a kitten heel anymore it might be time to see a foot specialist and
y'all know Bill... Bill's behind the camera there.. say hi Bill
"hi Bill" and Bill's been suffering for years with something called plantar
fasciitis and what he's done is, he's gone to a foot specialist and I'm not
going to say that these are inexpensive these are the inserts that he has been
given or that made for actually from a foot specialist and these particular
ones they're quite hard, solid there for his dress shoes and then also
he has these ones because he's kind of a sporty guy and he has these athletic
ones for his running shoes so there you go with those but Bill has found also
you can go to the local drugstore and we're going to put up a little short
video here of the machines that you can find where you actually stand on the
machine and they will tell you which kind of inserts you might need for
whatever, whatever ails you, whatever is sort of wrong with your feet as far as
you know what kind of insert you might need . So back to me again and these are
some store-bought ones that Bill has , it's from a very popular brand and he's
just telling me that you know, they're really working out just fine so there
you go, take a look and by all means you know the feet are our foundation so
let's take good care of them but let's start getting into these five favorite
flat and low heeled shoes. Oh I forgot to mention to you when Bill goes out to buy
new shoes he takes his inserts with him and that was really something..
sorry about that Bill I completely forgot, but that was something that's
really important because if you're trying on a brand-new pair of dress
shoes and you put the inserts in, hey maybe you might need a half a size
larger so he won't buy a pair of shoes unless he's got the proper inserts, oh
good point there, thanks Bill! So my number one pair of shoes that I
absolutely love are these sandals. I really, really love them. I find that that,
I don't know if you can see but the jewel tones and everything are so
beautiful and you know what? I will try to find something like this and I'll put
a link back to the blog in the 1st comment and I think you guys all know the drill we make a little
bit of commission and we thank you for that because it helps the channel but I
don't know if I can get the exact one but I'll I'll try my best
Now when I saw these sandals I was thinking about Bill because these
sandals as you can see here they are actually lifting up my arch a little bit
so although I don't have the problems with my feet yet as Bill says it the
"agony of de-feet" sorry but this is actually going to help me a little bit
because it is raised here so I'm, you know, you might want to call these
flip-flops.. please don't wear the flip-flops or the the sandals that are
completely flat because after a while I think you you might have those fallen
arches things or something along those lines so let's take a look at these
sandals on here and as you can see you know I love sandals with lots and lots
of color because you can wear them with everything and again they've got that
little bit of arch support in there and hey let's remember something though, if
you're wearing sandals you gotta paint those toenails. That's what I think
anyway, hey it's up to you but I don't know these are pretty in pink toes.
Sometimes I'll put blue nail polish on or purple and hey I did a video actually
and I'll put the link up there somewhere of doing a pedicure at home so lots of
different tricks and tips on that and I hope you enjoy that as well. So my second
most favorite shoe are these little, I'm gonna call them fabric shoes. I like the
black and white because they go with so many different things, they have kind of
an elastic around the side here which I really, really like and memory foam so
they're super comfortable, now what you'll see in this picture here are this
video of me is the fact that I'm wearing a little bit of a shorter pant with
these and I just think that the flatter shoe the pointy shoe it looks a lot
better with a little shorter pant than, you know, some kind of a pant that's kind
of dragging on the ground . So my third most favorite pair of flat shoes has to
be my fun sneakers. If you've seen some of my videos you know I'm always saying
let's have a sense of play, you know, some days are just made for playing that sort
of thing and I used to be a tomboy, actually I think I still am a little bit
but anyway, I chose these lower kind of basketball looking shoes I really, really
like them and I know I could have got the high tops, it's just not stylish
enough for me and as you'll notice here I've paired them with a pair of
boyfriend jeans and you can get these running shoes or these sneakers in any
kind of color, I mean they're in there in pink they're in white they're in all
different types of colors and you know I like the ones with the less amount of of
laces on them like these ones you can get them with more laces but I like them
with the fewer laces and they might not be your cup of tea but maybe there's
something else, something else that's really true to you and if that's the
case go get it and own it! So my fourth favorite pair of flat shoes
has to be the ballet slipper kind of look, now these these are not inexpensive
ballet slippers I really think you got to have some support to them, these
happen to be leather however, I know that the're shoes out there right now if you
don't want to buy leather there are vegan shoes and some of
them are made out of pineapple husks, oh look those up because it's quite an
interesting trend coming on board right now but back to these particular shoes... I
like them, so they've got a little bit of stretch in them as well and it's
a tiny little heel but as you'll see here in this video next to me here I'm
wearing it with a cute little retro dress and leggings and it's just a fun
look to wear if I'm going maybe to an outdoor concert or something like that
and you know pick yourself a pair of these ballet slippers they go a long,
long way. They're super comfy and they don't call them slippers for nothing
like that other pair of shoes that I had, the fabric shoes, they feel like slippers.
So my final fifth pair of flat shoes has to be a good pair of athletic running
shoes, sneakers ,whatever you want to call them, now I remember a long, long, long
time ago Bill and I, in our early days, Bill and I were going to play tennis and
I was a pretty good tennis player and I walked out in my little running shoes
and he was mortified because like, literally they were an eight dollar pair of
running shoes and he said "why are you wearing those" and I said "they're running
shoes " and he said "oh no Heather you know, you really should think about looking
after your feet long-term and you know getting a good pair of shoes" and boy was
he ever right! So for like about 20 years now I've been making sure to get a good
pair of athletic shoes and watch this these guys you know those
inserts, they even have those inserts that I was showing before so they're,
they're bouncy, they're cushiony... I'm not running around on a concrete tennis
court without some kind of support and you can see right here that they are you
know it kind of cool too because these days you can get running shoes that are,
you know, have some gold on them or they might be a different kind of color or
pink, hey you know nowadays athletic shoes even can be a bit of a fashion
statement so when you go over to the store and you're really looking for a
good pair of athletic shoes talk to somebody find out are they breathable, do
they have support, are they bouncy and make a good choice
your feet'll thank you. So what I left out of the video, here's a few other
ideas for some flat shoes, first of all water shoes, hey I call them water shoes,
anyway if you're going out on the beaches or maybe you're going into a
coral area make sure you're protecting your feet because you just don't know
what you're going to be stepping on and these are Bills water shoes and I know a
lot of women wear them as well so they're great too and you don't want to
go on a vacation and then cut your feet all up and end up in a hospital so a
really good idea here, the other thing that I wanted to mention is... Bill, when
he's buying sandals and that sort of thing, he's really, really looking out and
spending a bit of money on them, if you take a look at these flip-flops they
just look like any kind of flip-flop but they do have the special bouncy kind of
arch support. Bill absolutely loves those he wears them around the house too
because they give him the support that he needs and you probably know these
babies these are very popular types of shoe with sandals and they have great
arch support ,so I wanted to point those out to you as well
but one thing that we're not going to leave out is... so we're not going to
forget our little Hurricane. Hurricane yes and his case, probably giving me some
kisses because we really look after his little paws and you know even dogs in
the hot concrete and beaches and that they need their little feet looked after
and covered up. Many, many times or a lot of times we just take him in the
coolness of the grass and you know something else that's really, really cool
is... something else that's really, really cool are our subscribers, you guys and
