I’m a city girl who loves a good walk/hike/jog while I chat with my friends or take my daily phone calls. So what I wear on my feet needs to be comfortable, cute, and cost effective. I’ve been checking those boxes with Darn Tough socks and Nortiv 8 shoes this season.
Socks: Women’s Lightweight Lifestyle Cushion
As kids we were given socks during the holidays— well at least I was. I looked over those cozy feet warmers for boxes of dolls or candy canes. Now, as an adult, give me all the socks; especially from Darn Tough. This Vermont based brand offers the best socks, feet down, for all the journeys your feet take you on. Made from wool and crafted in the USA, Darn Tough works as hard as I do when on the treadmill, hiking up summits, or simply hanging with my friends during game night. The pair you can find on my feet are the Women’s Lightweight Lifestyle Cushion. This style comes in a collection of prints from polka dot to a gorgeous swan (that’s the pair I’m wearing as I type this up!) Darn Tough works hard and long to keep my toes comfortably toasty even in this summer heat. Grab the Women’s Lightweight Lifestyle Cushion here for $48.00.
Walking: ActiveFloat sneakers
So, you’ve been eyeing new sneakers for those Hot Girl Summer walks while on vacation. The dilemma? You don’t want to spend almost 200 dollars on said sneakers. Well the answer is ActiveFloat sneakers, where functionality, comfort, and cuteness come together in every step.
Walk on clouds here on earth in the ActiveFloat sneakers. These sneaker’s thanks to the bouncy sole, are designed with shock absorption. My feet (and creaky knees) can hold up to 10 mile walks on the shore of South Carolina or food tours in New Orleans. All that walking can make my feet a bit sweaty so luckily the mesh design keeps me cool even when my body is dripping in 90 degree weather. These sneakers are priced at a cool $49.99 making it an affordable investment for yourself and your best friend to go on walks together, thanks to the ActiveFloat sneakers.
Hiking: Suede Waterproof Hiking Boots
These boots are made for hiking and that’s just what they’ll do: the Suede Waterproof Hiking Boots! Whether I’m trekking up the mountains of Tennessee or walking on a stony path in Alaska, these hiking boots keep my feet (and more importantly ankles) secure and safe. The interior is padded with sweat wicking fabric and ample support around the heel and toes to ward off sore feet. I’ve faced rainstorms and mudslides in these boots and the waterproof component keeps me uber comfortable. Plus the cute black and light pink color-way doesn’t hurt either!
