Working in Comfort

When you’re spending eights hours a day, five days a week in an office, the last thing you want is to be uncomfortable. Sure, we all wish we could work all day in a nice corner office with a great view, couch against the window wall and a drink cart in the corner. However, not all of us can be CEO’s. So, instead of corner offices with comfortable couches and sipping on brandy during meetings, we need to set our sights on something a little bit more tangible. And what is that you ask? Our shoes! With the right footwear, your feet can go from feeling like they’re in a cramped cubicle to feeling like they’ve got their very own office!

As we all know, shoes tell a lot about a man, but they are also extremely important for the feet. Foot health is an important issue that should not be tossed aside. If you’ve ever studied or heard anything about reflexology, then you might already know that reflexology is the practice of applying pressure to certain parts of the body that in turn deliver health benefits to certain organs. Now this, by all means, does not claim to cure any sort of illnesses or diseases, but reflexology can be used to complement other forms of treatment in order to offer the body and its organs a health dose of beneficial treatment from all angles. Knowing this can help you pick the right pair of shoes for your feet. The last thing you want is a pair of shoes that offers no cushioning, no support, and no long-term use.

Flip-flops, for example, are one of the worst kinds of shoes for the feet. Some of the negative attributes that come from flip-flops are:

• No shock-absorption
• They destroy your heels
• Can permanently damage the toes
• Can mess with your posture
• Can cause blisters
• Can slow you down
• Can cause shooting pains
• No arch support

Now, we know flip-flops aren’t the usual office attire; however, pointing out these negative effects can give you an idea of the kind of shoe you should be looking for. With so many options, you could be thinking, Well, what shoes should I be looking at then? Lucky for you, not only can I read minds, but I have all the answers too. Samuel Hubbard shoes! Samuel Hubbard shoes? Yes, Samuel Hubbard shoes.

If you’ve never heard of Samuel Hubbard shoes, then you are missing out! Samuel Hubbard rose out of the shoe industry in 1930 as the Hubbard Shoe Company creating small children’s shoes in Rochester, New York. In 1973, however, the Hubbard Shoe Company had to close its doors, like many other shoe companies at that time, due to shoemaking being moved offshore to cheaper labor markets. Fast forward to 2014 and Hubbard makes an appearance again as The Samuel Hubbard Company with the original founder’s grandson as the new CEO and founder.

Like its founding father before, The Samuel Hubbard Company maintains the tradition of offering shoes of the very highest quality using the finest leathers from all around the world. Their shoes offer a sophisticated and office appropriate design made to give your feet the comfort of a sneaker with a much higher quality and a sleeker look. Instead of rushing to put out new designs and styles every six months, they focus on crafting a highly comfortable and uncompromising shoe construction in each and every shoe they release.

Their boots and shoes are designed to keep feet comfortable in an office, all while looking good and providing the wearer with an effortless transition from work to play. Take the Samuel Hubbard Men’s M2170-048 - 24 Seven Boots, for example. Perfect for an office or for a casual outing, these stylish boots feature a full glove leather lining with triple-density memory foam and a lightweight Kevlar shank for a sturdy arch support. With the feeling of a sneaker, these boots will keep you walking comfortably all day long.

If your job has you traveling for work, another great option from Samuel Hubbard is the Samuel Hubbard Men’s M2190-048 - Frequent Traveler. Perhaps you got on an early morning flight and are heading straight into the office once the plane lands, or maybe you travel light and only take the shoes you’re wearing. Either way, these shoes offer an easy slip-on style that makes traveling a breeze. With a soft leather upper and full cowhide glove leather lining, these shoes are made with a Hubbard Vibram outsole to make it feel like you’re wearing your most comfortable pair of sneakers with the look of a stylish, office-appropriate shoe.
