31 Shoes in 31 Days: Day 13
Alison Pegg
Shoes have always been a cornerstone of my wardrobe, they’re part of my signature style. As the world starts to open up and we venture out again, I’m sharing a sneak peek into some of my collection, and the story each pair has to tell.
Some of our most treasured pairs of shoes aren’t the ones that only take us from point A to point B, they take us on a path much more meaningful, a journey that starts and ends with self-discovery.
When COVID-19 shut down the world in March 2020, outdoor walks became the new going out, the one chance we had to leave the house that was safe from the unknown that the virus. I love that a stroll outdoors was suddenly cool again, that exercise was possible without spending a million dollars at the latest fancy gym that popped up. And the look on everyone’s face on their daily walk said it all – it was a form of refuge and relaxation during the most stressful and anxiety-ridden time.
For me, I have COVID to thank for daily walks now becoming part of my lifestyle. My body craves some sort of movement every day, and these Adidas NMDs are the vehicle that sets me on my path. And while the physical benefits of my daily walk no doubt have been great, it’s the mental benefits that I’ve come to crave the most. The fresh air, the solitude, and the movement have calmed my anxiety, surged my creativity, and provided me much need balance I never knew I needed.
See you on my next stroll….
