Lugz the Boots for the Winter Season

December 8, 2015 by Ashley 52 Comments

I have loved Lugz boots from afar for years, but have been leary buying a shoe online when I cannot try it on seeing as I have so many problems with my feet.  I got crazy lucky when Lugz said that they would love to be included in my Holiday Gift Guide and sent me a pair of their winter boots for me to review.  I was allowed to select one pair of boots to review and after much debate I decided on the Tambora Boots in Charcoal/ Cream / Black.

I was so nervous about getting these boots in the mail because I normally have to spend over an hour trying on shoes in the shoe store before I find a pair that I am somewhat satisfied with.  I am very glad that when these came I had no problems at all!!  If you are someone who has a disability or wonky feet you will understand why this is such a great success.  Let me tell you even more about why these boots are so amazing for someone like me as well as for any woman looking for some really attractive boots to wear during the winter months.

Why I love my Lugz Tambora Boots

I have a lot of problems with finding women’s shoes that will fit my feet because they are either too narrow or the toe box is not tall enough to give my room for my toes or the top of my feet.  If you have never seen what my feet look like then you wouldn’t know that I have the start of hammer toes and a very high arch with drop foot that creates a very tall foot.  My feet aren’t very wide, but generally my custom orthotics are a bit wider than my foot so I need a wider shoe to accommodate them.  These boots easily accommodate my feet and my orthotics.  (I tested them with my orthotics even though I am not currently wearing them due to my feet swelling from being pregnant.)

These boots are a medium width which I believe plays a part in why they fit my feet so well.  You can tell from the picture that these boots are lined on the inside so they are really warm and oh so soft!  My feet feel so cushioned seeing as they come with a real nice cushioned insole.  I am waiting to try these boots out in the snow and ice because they appear to have a lot of traction on the sole of the boot and they are covered in rubber on the base of the boot to keep them dry and warm during the bitter, cold winter months.

My disability causes me to have poor balance which makes the winter months very hard for me.  I tend to take a lot of falls in the snow and ice and this winter with me being pregnant I need to be extra careful.  I wouldn’t want anything to happen to my unborn child and these boots seem to be the perfect solution for me this winter.  Finally, to top these boots off they are crazy cute!!  I cannot get over just how cute these boots are.  I never really am able to buy cute pair of shoes so this made my day even more!  I love finally owning a pair of cute shoes that I could see other women my age buying.

One Step at a Time… My Orthotics

August 9, 2012 by Ashley 5 Comments

CMT

I have been meaning to sit down and give you all the low down on a part of my life that I usually keep pretty quiet about.  I have been working hard to be more open and willing to talk about my Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) on a personal level and not just rattling off statistics and medical terminology that just goes over most peoples heads (including mine sometimes).  You can see my oh so beautiful foot posted above.  I will admit to you all right her that I hate my feet.  I hate how they look, how much they hurt and burn, and I hate that I stand on so little of the bottom of my foot.  I don’t have your average foot and I know no one has perfect feet, but this has always been a bit of an eyesore to me.  I have high arches that in little slip on shoes and sandles is always up higher than the sides of the shoes, and I have the start of hammer toes that cause them to all be all curled up.

Orthotic

Because I walk on such a little potion of my foot.  The first step was to get me orthotics that will support my foot and make it so that I do not have to put more weight on the outsides of my feet.  These blue orthotics pictured on the left are amazing.  They help to aleviate a lot of pain and make it so that I can stand and walk a lot longer than without them.  The downfall to these is that I cannot put them in a lot of shoes.  It takes a lot of shoe shopping to find a cute pair that they fit in.  On top of that dress shoes are a big no-no.  There are very few dress shoes that can fit my orthotics in them.  Right now all I have are these cute blue tennis shoes! I don’t think I have ever had tennis shoes that are quite this cute before!  The orthotics reach up and cradle my arches which is nice because it helps to alleviate strain and pulled tendons across it.

Just using my orthotics is real helpful, but I have no propreoception in my feet.  That means I cannot tell where my feet are in space.  For example my doctors tested this by having me close my eyes and they would move my foot one way and ask where they moved it (up, down, right, or left).  It’s kind of fun to do! You can try it out.  Just have someone move your foot for you with your eyes closed and guess! I would love to hear all about it!!! Lol.
