Practical Shoes for Event Industry Peeps by the Karma Team, Part 4

Stephanie's up...

My favorite shoes for every event are my dandelion yellow flats by Kimchi Blue I got from Urban Outfitters last winter.    I love the way the ribbon ties throw a spin on the classic pointed flat.  I love things that are simple but also unique.  They're super comfy and leave my feet blissfully blister-less too!  They're perfect for work and for play.

Shoes, shoes, shoes. They can be a girl’s best friend and on occasion, her worst enemy. Whether you are on your feet constantly for work, or are traipsing around the city for a day, we all know that comfortable and cute footwear is essential.  Ending up with blisters can straight up ruin your day.  As someone who is prone to jacked-up lollies (almost all shoes rip up my feet, I am never without band aids), I am happy to say that I have found a friend in Toms shoes.  For me, they combine just the right amount of support while also maintaining that “barefoot” feeling.  And never, ever, EVER have they given me blisters!!!  And after a long install in the summer sun it is great to be able to throw those puppies right in the washing machine.  ; ) 

I’m digging the lace Toms this summer. They are pretty, feminine, and hella ventilated. If you don’t already have a pair, be sure to give ‘em a try, they won’t disappoint.

Yes floral and event artists need good shears and scissors and just the right flowers to hang with the correct amount of wires and zip ties, but what we really need on install days are GOOD SHOES. Standing on our feet the night before an event prepping and packing and then sometimes all day for installs and breakdowns calls for some comfy, yet supportive shoes. After vases and vessels are filled and placed and there are endless runs to the truck and multiple trips up and down ladders...our dogs are barking!

My pick for practical, yet down-right-cute shoes, are the sneaks from Bucketfeet. My mom purchased my first pair and I was an immediate fan.

Artist's design and create each pair of these rubber-soled gems and they have massage bubble inserts to keep your feet feeling fine throughout the day. Check out their site, it is worth a look!
