Manolo Blahnik? Not.

Carrie Bradshaw laugh your soles off!  These are my cooking shoes.  I realized I was really in to this whole cooking thing when I began to think of shoes as kitchen accessories.  Help?

I love my Dansko clogs.  I first started wearing them at the insistence of my podiatrist.  A few years back I ran a marathon.  Er, walked a marathon?  It was ugly.  As were my poor feet after the training.  I ended up with a random big toe injury and my podiatrist said Dansko’s would cure all my ills.  How right he was.  Only it was not love at first sight with my clogs.  I definitely had to court them a while.  But now true love reigns. I also have them in a kitchy plaid.  Somewhere.

Standing on hard surfaces for prolonged amounts of time is hard on your legs.  I choose to do this as my passion for being in the kitchen out weighs any minor physical discomfort.  And these shoes truly do  make a difference.  On the rare occasion that I stay in my sneakers or heaven forbid my Manolo’s, I pay for it later.

So, if you see me out and about in my Dansko’s chances are I’m not far from my kitchen. But if I forget and wear them to the Opera no need to remind me I’d rather be home cooking.

Please tell me you have have cooking shoes….

    Nope. I have never heard of someone having “cooking shoes”, but it’s not a bad idea!

    Found you via PDub. Cute site!

    I love my danskos, and I do wear them when I know it will be a long day in the kitchen. I almost bought another pair this year, but decided…”No more earth-mama shoes!!”

    So… today in the kitchen ALL I could thing about all day was how bad my feet hurt:/ thanks:)

    Chef’s (and nurses) wear this type of shoe daily. Now you know why. I too wear them and have found a great difference in my cooking when I do!

    Embarrassingly, I am usually barefoot in the kitchen. My Danskos (maybe even more embarrassingly) are often my going-out-and-walking-around shoes. I would die without them. 😀

    I wear my fuzzy slippers now, but during the summer barefoot! Is it any of the dansko shoes or just the clogs?

    Did you take that cute pic of your feet in your Dansko’s yourself? Nice work! I cook in my Dansko’s too!! Always busy making something for Micheal Phelps!!!

    I’m with Jessie – a barefoot cook, also. Those shoes are very stylish, though…

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
