Fit 'n' Pretty
Looking for Health & Beauty Exclusives? Get your Cheeky Card!Trust me! I am an expert when it comes to comfy, yet stylish shoes. With plantar fasciitis (for those non-doctors, the condition causes my heels to hurt and I need a sufficient arch support), I am super fussy and shoe shopping becomes a nightmare. After some research in Chicago, I have found my top picks – some summery and others for fall – that will satisfy your eyes and feet. They may even knock your socks off!
