It’s all about arch support! My spring shoe capsule is made up of shoes with arch support. It’s amazing how many fabulous shoes are on the market for people like me with foot issues. In fact, you don’t even need to have foot issues to wear these shoes. The arch support is good for everyone and makes the shoes more comfortable; as well as easier to walk in. Love that!

When it comes to shoe trends, spring 2025 is still bringing us ballet flats, Mary Janes, classic loafers, shades of mocha, and suede. Suede is so hot right now!

High heels and dressier footwear are making a comeback. There are varying heel heights this season which include stiletto, block, and kitten heels. This means there is a heel for every occasion, comfort level, and taste. Love that!

I might actually take the plunge and invest in a pair of slingback kitten heels as well as a new pair of block heels. I love these classic pumps in suede and definitely need them in more colors, as well as more styles from the brand. Love!

So, for the spring season, shop your closet first-you may already own Mary Janes and ballet flats; then, add some suede, high heels, and a fun pair of loafers! Love spring!

Ally Shoes review

The perfect high heel does exist! If you have been following along, you might recall I have planter fasciitis. This has resulted in me being limited with the types of footwear I can wear. I need constant arch support, and while some block heels have natural arch support, many shoe styles do not. There is also a challenge when my orthotics do not fit inside a pair of shoes which lack arch support. This has resulted in my rather large high heel collection to remain in storage in the back of my closet. It’s so sad!

Thankfully, the tides have turned! Ally Shoes reached out to me to introduce their specially engineered shoe collection to me, and I was stunned! It was as if God had sent them. The entire shoe collection has arch support, and the sizing offers a wide variety of lengths and widths to fit all foot types. This means ARCH SUPPORT! Thank you!

Ally Shoes has an online fit test which allows you to find your perfect size. I normally wear a 39/9, but when I took the test and it fit me into a 40. I was a little skeptical, but it turned out to be the perfect size. My new high heels fit perfectly. Love!

The arch support inside my Ally Shoes is a perfect fit and allows me to walk and stand without any foot pain. I am so excited to be able to wear high heels for a long period of time again. I cannot wait to invest in more pairs of shoes from Ally!

Here are a few of my favorites from Ally Shoes:

ON Cloud 5 sneakers review

on cloud 9 sneakers review

So, if you have been looking at people’s feet at the gym and on the streets lately, you may have noticed these sneakers are everywhere! I asked a few of my fellow gym goers how they like their ON sneakers and they all had the same response; “I love them!”

The type of feedback I have been getting from people is that ON sneakers are supportive and comfortable for both fitness activities and walking. OK, I’m sold!

Since I didn’t really need a new pair of gym sneakers, I decided to snap up a pair I can wear for street wear. I chose the ON Cloud 5 in a light, neutral hue. I could tell they would be great in the gym, but I really needed a new pair of street sneakers, so that is how I wear them.

The insole is removeable, so while they are comfortable on their own, I switched out the insole with the orthotics my doctor gave me to treat my planter fasciitis. They fit perfectly and offer the right amount of comfort for a lot of walking.

I recently wore these sneakers to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and also the Computer History Museum. Both activities required being on my feet for several hours and walking around. I was perfectly comfortable and able to complete the entire day both times. Love these sneakers!

While the sole isn’t as squishy as the Hoka sneakers, ON offers ample support and comfort for both walking and gym/fitness activities. Love that!

As for style points, the ON Cloud 5 sneakers come with both shoelaces and stretchy laces which can be used to make the shoes slip-ons. I decided to go with the stretchy laces so I can slip in and out of the shoes without needing to tie laces. This will come in handy for air travel when we go through TSA and need to take off our shoes.

I rate ON Cloud 5 sneakers ten out of ten. Love!

Thanks for stopping by!
