An ode to my favorite shoes

🛍Brand: Doc Martens

Item: Sinclair platform

💰Price: $200

👍Pros: super cute, very comfy after break in, gives me a few extra inches of height

🤔Cons: the break in period quite literally made the back of my foot bleed and blister 😬, I do wear double socks and I recommend you do too.

.

.

These were an inner child buy for me. When I was in high school I thought docs were THE shoe and I wanted them badly. My mom couldn’t afford them and neither could I with my $7.25/hr paycheck 😂. I got these a year ago and was so excited I wore them out the store. That was in November and because of my over excitement I couldn’t wear these again until December around Christmas time. Really taught me a lesson in patience🤭

What’s something you bought that would’ve your younger self happy?

... Read moreThe Doc Martens Sinclair platform is more than just a stylish choice; it's a statement of individuality and a nod to nostalgia. As a brand known for its durability and comfort, Doc Martens has a rich history that resonates with many fashion enthusiasts. The Sinclair model, with its platform design, provides not only added height but also the assurance of comfort that comes with quality craftsmanship. Wearing these shoes often brings back memories of youthful aspirations, making them an embodiment of personal growth and self-expression. While the break-in period can be challenging, resulting in some discomfort, it ultimately leads to a customized fit that makes the shoes comfortable for everyday wear. It's recommended to wear double socks during this phase to ease the process. Many wearers find that the struggle is worth the end result, as the shoes become a reliable staple in their wardrobe. For anyone considering investing in a pair, it's essential to note that styles like the Sinclair can be paired with various outfits, whether casual or slightly dressy. The versatility of Doc Martens means they are suitable for a range of occasions, from university life to casual outings. Embracing a classic pair like the Sinclair not only pays homage to fashion history but also invites a modern twist to personal style. If you haven't experienced these shoes yet, take the plunge and indulge your inner child—your feet will thank you!

My Favorite Nursing Shoes
After trying so many, I finally found my holy grail nursing shoes-comfortable, supportive, and actually cute! My feet and back thank me every shift. 🙏 Before I found the right nursing shoes, every shift felt like pure torture-aching feet, sore back, and that 'why did I choose this career'

Gym shoes are a HUGE component in your workout. They can precent injuries (absorb shock), improve performance, and provide stability! I used to go the cheap route with shoes until I started noticing back pain. As soon as I started saving some money and buying better quality shoes, I completely saw

Living in NYC tennis shoes are such a must for me due to how much walking I do- seeing my step count every day is my new favorite activity lol. I love having shoes that are not only comfortable but look cute too. I’m sooo obsessed with the dad style shoe and then I love the silver and white combo !
