A comfortable pair of sandals is a must-have in every summer wardrobe. While it's pretty easy to shop for comfy flat sandals, finding a platform pair that is supportive enough for all day spent on your feet and walkable despite the added height can prove to be a difficult task. But Nordstrom shoppers seem to have found the perfect option in the Mia Lunna Platform Ankle Strap Sandals — and they are majorly marked down right now. One customer loved them so much they called the pair "the most comfortable sandal"  they've ever worn, before adding, "this shoe gives the perfect amount of height without jeopardizing any comfort." Along with a durable rubber sole, the summer-ready shoes feature a padded footbed that's so soft and cushioned that one person said it feels "like a thick yoga ...

Spanx may be best known for its comfortable, flattering shapewear, although the brand also makes stylish and functional clothing that you can just as easily wear on an airplane as you can in the office. It recently launched a new collection of pants and shorts that are designed with travel and versatility in mind, and one pair in particular is already a staple in my wardrobe. The brand sent me a pair of the On-the-go Kick Flare Pants to test out, and I was instantly impressed with their look and feel — and the longer I wore them, the more I liked them. The pants are made from a blend of cotton, rayon, and elastane, which means they're structured enough for a professional look but stretchy enough to remain comfortable throughout the day. Plus, they have two back pockets that ...

MSCHF is down with an Air Force 1-influenced Super Normal pair of shoes after being sued by Nike over the collaborative Lil Nas X Air Max 97 lookalikes. It also received a stay of proceedings from a U.S. District Court judge who ordered the company to halt spread and ad campaigns for Tyga's Wavy Baby sneakers. Now, the Super Normal footwear is found in twisting free flow patterns as if stuck in a microwave, akin to the Vans Old Skool-inspired Wavy Baby sneakers. The MSCHF is making preparations for the launch of its latest Super Normal shoes, which are slated to arrive on Thursday, June 23, 2022. All those intrigued by the unusual design and structure of these Super Normal sneakers can cop them via the MSCHF’s official sneakers app. The exclusive shoes will be sold for $145 per pair....

When you first get into running, the best purchase you can make is a versatile, everyday pair of running shoes. These are the kind of shoes that should take away a lot of the hurdles from lacing up and getting out on the road as often as possible. The new Allbirds Tree Flyers are running shoes with that potential for a lot of people. That's what the company is aiming for here with their new midsole foam and updated design: a do-it-all shoe that can appeal to new runners and experienced ones alike. When Allbirds made the jump to producing sustainable running shoes, as it has with its other shoes, it did so with mixed results. Its first running shoes were fine but trailed behind the competition in a lot of ways. Now, only a few models in, the Tree Flyers feel like a big leap forward for t...

Linnea Sorensen falls into a funk whenever her girlfriend of four years leaves for her six-month stints with the Marines, and the high school junior has trouble concentrating on her classwork. "I'm somebody who struggles with my mental health quite a bit," said the 17-year-old, who attends school in Schaumburg, Ill., a suburb of about 77,000 people northwest of Chicago. "When you're in school and not fully mentally there, it's like you're not really grasping anything anyway." Now Illinois is giving Sorensen and students like her a new option for dealing with mental health lows. The state allows K-12 students in public schools to have five excused absences per school year for mental health reasons, another example of the growing acknowledgment among lawmakers that emotional and physic...
