Well as my morning routine went along.  I decided to dig into our analytics page to find out where our recent traffic has been coming from – or for those who don’t understand, how you the customer find our website.  An unfamiliar page was ranked quite high and for a reason I did not know until further investigating it, a quite exciting find! An article within the infamous Cosmo Magazine!

Yes, it’s the time of year again to start layering up.  Whether you’re enjoying chilly football games, sitting in your favorite deer stand at 4am with icicles growing from your dripping nose, taking a family ride on your snowmobiles, ice-fishing, snowboarding/skiing, and beyond – Smartwool is here to simply keep you dry and warm.

Smartwool – many people hear WOOL and run away because they think of that itchy-scratchy feeling.  Well let us explain the difference between WOOL and Smartwool.

Smartwool socks are one of the most comfortable sock, natural fibers - Merino Wool. Managing moisture, Smartwool regulates your body temperature, keeping your feet odor free!  Smartwool wicks away moisture, just as your Body Armour does but remember, odor free! Smartwool socks come in many different styles, weights, and sizes(Don’t forget about the Children Socks)!

Just to list a few, for your winter activities you can always go with the 3/4 Crew, Crew, Mid-Calf(personal favorite), Over the Calf, or even the tights.  Yes guys, these are amazing! Each of these lengths also come in various cushions.  How warm would you like your feet? Light Cushion, Medium Cushion, Heavy Cushion, or Extra Heavy…warm!?  But remember: Getting one pair will only lead to more small loads of laundry as you’ll want to wear these every day! Trust us…

Smartwool Sweaters, two words: Simply Amazing!  Just as the socks, these come in many different styles! Crewnecks, hoodies,half zips, 3/4, and full zips.  Do they not only come in sweaters but many layering possibilities.  Form fitting long sleeve shirts, short sleeve shirts, and beyond.

Smartwool can also be worn during the summer, not just the chilly winter months.  Believe in it, wear it, and love it!

So many of us want that super cute, adorable, beautiful looking shoe for a special occasion.  But are they really that comfortable? Are your feet aching, cramping, and simply not happy with you after 4hrs of wearing them?

Through the years, I have learned to wear what is comfortable.  Judge your feet, not the cuteness factor. Are the boots, shoes,clogs, or sandals really that comfortable?  Do they feel like a 10hr pair of shoes? We’ve come to realize that one of our favorite sayings is, “Fit your feet, not your head.” Easier said then done, we know!  Just because someone else finds them comfortable, doesn’t mean your feet will like them too. At Bur-Mar’s, we go to shoe conventions and markets all over the US where the cuteness factor is tenfold.  Of course we love to check out the adorable, stunning shoes but our main concern is the comfort level.  Let’s face it ladies, we are all vain in some way or another.  Working on your feet 60hrs a week the way I do, I don’t want to go home to collapse because of cramping, tired feet.  Enjoying life at the end of each day with my husband and our Lab, Scooter is a must.

We are true believers that these purchases are made easily through Dansko, Naot, and Eric Michael.  The Dansko Professional Clog available by Dansko comes in over 30 colors and textures.  This is the choice of teachers, hair stylist,medical, retail, and food industries.  They also offer us a choice of dress and chic styles of boots – as well as weekend wear! Naot offers us comfort and cute dress-casual shoes and boots that fit the narrower to medium width feet.  Comfort dress is truly hard to find anymore and the cork comfort support through Naot is a must try!
