FASHION

Refuse to be uncomfortable

ONCE PART of the counter-
culture's dress code in the late
*60s.and °70s and the hailmark of
flower children, the ‘natural
shoe”’ is now finding appeal with
comfort-conscious and fashion-
forward North Americans.

These clunky, sometimes home-
ly, always comfortable, corksoled
sandals are coming out of the
closet and experiencing an ex-
traordinary revival that has taken
hold with both young and old.

When the be-frce tifesiyle of
the late "60s changed through the
°70s and eventually gave way to
the dress-for-success ‘80s, com-

fort in dressing lost its appeal and
the concept of ‘tpower dressing”

was born. Now in the °90s,
boomers are developing bunions,
their kids have revived the look of
the *70s and everybody is refusing

. to be uncomfortable.

The trend is towards freedom
and comfort.

The simplicity-starved consumer
is also discovering that it’s stylish
to be comfortable — the ‘‘natural
shoe’’ has started showing up in
fashion magazines and on the
runways of New York.

The ugly-chic phenomenon
started on the West Coast and has

“gone cust across North America.
Naot brand from Israel, like
Birkenstocks from Germany, are
producers of the trendy tootwear.
Twelve months of sandal-wearing
a year have taught Israelis how to
produce good sandals — offering
comfort, correct posture and relicf
from backache and fatigue.

The shape of a shoe has «# direct
influence on the overall feeling of
the wearer. Many of today's
modern shoes do not fit the natu-
ral shape of the foot. The direct
result: back pains, incorrect
posture, muscle strain and a tired
feeling the whole day long.
