I walk anywhere from three to four miles each day while at work. I normally have two pair of shoes for the day – heels and flats. I wear the heels to meetings and rounding in between meetings. The flats typically help me out later in the afternoon or when I know I’ll be criss-crossing the hospital campus all day. Trust me, four miles in high heels is an occupational hazard that initially left me looking like I was being tortured late in the day, barely able to walk.

Naturalizer @Work Venue

Shoe shopping is essential for me. I’m always on the lookout for versatile, professional, comfortable heels. They’re like unicorns. So, I was thrilled to learn about Naturalizer‘s @Work collection. The Venue caught my eye; it’s a 3″ heel high enough to go well with many of my work slacks, and it actually looks like a shoe I would wear with a Mary Jane-style strap. I went for the Venue in black, but it’s also available in a lovely navy blue. It’s great for healthcare walking as the luxe suede sock is antimicrobial, the bottom of the shoe is slip resistant, and cushioning and padding make the shoe all-day-wearable. It’s easy for these to become go-to shoes!
