Ergonomically Stylish Summer Shoes

The Pluggz Men and Women's Summer Shoes Are Comfortably Chic

— June 20, 2013 — Fashion
Pluggz shoe brand has come out with a line of comfortable, chic and stylish summer shoes perfect for the hotter weather. Designed to be both smart and ergonomic, both the neutral-colored women's ballet flats and men's flip-flops are fashionably versatile.

Inside each insole are a series of black carbon rubber plugs that sit comfortably under the pressure points of the foot. These plugs help feet stay comfortable while walking all day with a barefoot feel.
