DV by Dolce Vita Malika Boots

概要

推荐一双便宜 舒适又好看的皮靴： Malika boots from DV by Dolce Vita.

我因为足底筋腱炎，要用特殊的鞋垫来帮助我恢复，所以需要一双便宜的大点的靴子临时穿穿。买了这双，打折的时候才不到75块，穿起来还蛮酷的呢！

不要告诉我应该穿Birkenstock boots。那东西丑得惊天动地！我宁可穿着Blahnik坐轮椅，也不要穿着Birkenstock满地跑！我脑子有病，我承认。。。穿双大一号的宽鞋，配上Superfeet 的鞋垫，就差不多啦～～～

As some of you may already know, I am struggling with my plantar fasciitis, a foot injury from running. At night, I use night splint; and at day time, I need orthotic footwear to help recovery.

Birkenstock boots were the first resort I seeked. "The leather-lined contoured footbed will mold to the shape of your foot creating a custom footbed that supports and cradles your each and every step." That could be true, but,  yuk, they were hideous! If I were given two options, walking happily in a pair of bulky Birkenstock or sitting in a wheelchair in a pair of Blahnik, I would jump to the second without blinking my eyes. In fact, I don't believe i would ever walk "happily" in that chunk of ultra ugliness. The mere sight of the boots made me scream.

Now I'm using Superfeet insoles to help recovery. As a result, I had to size up my boots to accommodate this extra orthotic arch support. I didn't want to splurge on it as I saw this as temporary (well, at least I hoped I would kiss plantar fasciitis good-bye before next winter). My budget was $200. The boots had to have flat heel, wide toe box (to accommodate the insoles), and somewhat good style.

I searched for a while and finally found this pair of Malika boots from DV by Dolce Vita. They meet all my requirements, and look cool on my feet. I tried both colors and they both looked great. After a long debate, I decided to keep the black pair. I've been wearing it for two months, and got lots of compliments in the street. I loved the studs. And the best part? I got it on sale! Only $74.47. I sized up 1 full size in order to put in my Superfeet insoles, but I think it's true to size.
