Its a good thing this isn't a fashion blog...

Because these shoes are ugly as sin.



















But! I don these, and my other pairs of Birken-fugs every day for my mile-walk to and from the train station and work.* My feet can be little divas sometimes and I care more about keeping them happy and healthy for running, than pretty. Which is kind of antithetical to the diva-concept, I guess.

Regardless, take care of your feet. Keep the blisters and arch-pain for the real miles. Be hard-core and wear yourself some fugly-ass shoes.

*NB: I do keep prettier shoes at work but they have to be comfortable enough to walk a few blocks to get coffee with LR#2 in.

    You take the train? Coaster? I used to take it from Oceanside to Sorrento but it ended up taking 30-45 minutes longer total commute thanks to driving to and from the station, the shuttle to work, etc. I did enjoy it though.

    I have a pair of Birks too - don't wear them as much as I used to. But I still love them.
