Jack Rogers Navajo Sandals

Flip flops are a staple of summer.  The classic flop is...

The Navajo sandal by Jack Rogers

We love our Jack Rogers Navajo sandals and wear them all summer long. We both have them in multiple colors. They are classic, versatile, comfortable, well- made and not to mention tres chic! In fact, I once sat right next to Brooke Shields at a shoe store in the Hamptons, and we bought the same pair!

The Jack Rogers Navajo sandal has a deep history that is fascinating.  The sandal was first made by small, independent cobblers in and around Palm Beach.  Jack Rogers expanded production in 1961 and the Navajo sandal became an essential part of summer for fashionable women all over America. The Jack Rogers Navajo sandal is still hand made in Florida. To read their full history click here.

Jack Rogers even has the Navajo sandal in college colors and sorority colors. To shop their entire collection, click here.

Bear Feet

Is there anything sweeter than shoes for babies and toddlers?  We have to say, buying shoes for our littlest ones is almost as fun as finding the perfect shoes for ourselves...well, almost!  In looking for children's shoes that are Made in America, we came across Bear Feet Shoes. 

We think you'll agree they are ADORABLE!

Here are the ones I ordered and they are well-constructed, simple and oh so baby-stylish:

Here are some of the other styles and colors we love (there are many more on their website):

These shoes are handmade in the USA of mostly US and some European materials.  You can read more about Bear Feet Shoes here.

A New Balance

Whether we're running after our kids or trying to lose post-baby weight, a good pair of athletic shoes is a must!  One of our favorites is New Balance's 993.  They are simple, not too flashy and by far one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn...the cushioning and support is awesome.  

And, one of the best parts is New Balance still manufactures a portion of their shoes in the USA.  Not all of New Balance's shoes are Made in The USA, but they have made a commitment to American Workers (you can read their statement here) and according to their website they employ 1,300 workers in New England who manufacture approximately 7 million pairs of shoes each year.   Click here to find which New Balance shoes are produced in the USA (the 993's are!)

Here is the pair I own:

They also come in pink, which is a cute option:
