THANK YOU, ladies. I appreciate the awfully kind words. I'm back in Seattle and it's full speed ahead with everything. I lead a very busy life!
Lynn, I would never have said I walked all day in the ballet flats if it weren't true. I am 100% authentic! Remember that I have VERY low arches and arch support can feel like a rock under my foot. Different to your feet which probably have higher arches, and need the support.
Suz, YES. The new white sandals easily went the distance on the first day in the navy lace dress which is not photographed. VERY comfy. Then it became too chilly for my feet to wear sandals - below 30 degrees C.
