Life is all about connections.<\/p>\n

These days, I\u2019m connecting with Juil<\/a> clogs, my new favorite fall footwear.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The closed-back clogs, christened Copenhagen, are good looking, with wood-toned heels and trim, and brown leather uppers. (They also are available in black.)<\/p>\n

What you don\u2019t see is Juil\u2019s exclusive copper conductors, embedded in the footbed and outer soles, which are believed to channel antioxidants from the earth into our bodies and return us to a natural state of being with every step we take. Synthetic shoes with rubber soles don\u2019t conduct electrons.<\/p>\n

So when the good folks at Juil contacted me and asked if I would be interested in giving their footwear a try, I was intrigued. This sounds interesting! And who better than an active scribe to put shoes through their paces?<\/p>\n

In my writing life, I spend a lot of time on my feet. So I put Juil to the test, at work and at play.<\/p>\n

My conclusion? These clogs are so comfy I can dash to an interview, grab a cup of coffee with a source, chase down a quote and then head off for drinks with the girls.<\/p>\n

And when my feet feel great, the rest of me tends to follow.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The folks at Juil understand that footwear that is good for you also can be attractive. You could wear the maker\u2019s Brio sandal, available in metallic pewter and other color choices, to a cocktail party. I call it the Yogurt Principal. We all started eating yogurt when producers figured out how to make something that is healthy also taste great.<\/p>\n

Sworn off leather? Juil also offers vegan and cork sandals and clogs.<\/p>\n

Footwear is sold in whole sizes, 5-11 for women and 7-13 for men. Wear a half size? Order the next size down for sandals and the next size up for clogs.<\/p>\n

Prices range from $125 for sandals to $165 for closed back clogs. Standard shipping and returns are free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
