Rage Against Uncomfortable Shoes


A post shared by Sara Cotner (@saracotner) on

I find myself in a bit of a conundrum on a daily basis. I would be better at my job if I dressed more professionally. As an Executive Director of a non-profit organization, I have to raise a lot of money (millions), and I have to convince people that we can turn an ambitious vision into a reality. And whether I like it or not, my appearance is connected to my capacity to do that. I'm the girl who doesn't like to waste time or money with makeup. I only like comfortable shoes. And I don't like shopping. I don't want to waste time doing my hair every day. It's not a pretty combination. 

So when I find something that looks half-way professional and is comfortable, I'm ecstatic! Like these shoes I just got from Rothy's. They are made from recycled plastic and they are machine-washable. They are really comfortable (lots of padding for flats). So far, so good!

  1. Those are pretty! I have the same struggle. I'm having good luck with these Aerosoles: http://www.aerosoles.com/store/jump/product/Good-Times-Dress-Flat/GOOD-TIME
    I tend to wear a lot of black with some red, white and navy mixed in and sometimes I force myself to accessorize with a gold bracelet or something, so these shoes go with my entire wardrobe. Thanks for sharing!

  2. Ha, ha! I tend to wear those same colors, too, Shawn! This purple is new for me.

I promise I am open to feedback and truly appreciate hearing others' insights into my choices (it's like free therapy!), but please say it in the same way you would say it if we were sitting across from each other at brunch or next to each other on a park bench while our children play.
