Best Foot Forward
Some instructors swear by Crocs, others won’t enter a studio without lacing up their MBTs. So when I recently began teaching Pilates, I gave myself the challenge of identifying the perfect footwear to wear. I tried tennis shoes, flip-flops, socks and barefeet… Then I found what may be my Cinderella slipper—the recently released Rainier Ballet Flat by Terrasoles. This fleece slip-on shoe is made in-part of recycled materials and features a thick rubber sole. When I first saw it, my immediate reaction was “Ooh, a slipper I can wear outside!” which is just the right mix of comfort and function. The design allows me to point my feet, easily slide the shoes on and off, and safely brace some of the machines’ moving parts with my feet. Pick up your own pair for $49.95 at Dillards or planetshoes.com.
