As the temperatures slowly begin to rise here in Portlandia, the outdoor activities begin. A day in the park, a stroll by the bridge, a light day hike, fishing at the lake, kayaking down the river, and enjoying an outdoor music festival - These are just some of the fun activities we love to experience during those rising temperature days. Start them off right with the perfect pair of sandals that match your outfit or activity! It’s time to give your toes a taste of the fresh air!
Love the outdoors? How about a sandal that can go from the city to the trails, from the farmers’ market to the rushing river or from the yoga studio to patio lunching with the girls?
You can with Juil, pronounced (joo-uh-I). A company who's mantra is simple - life is energy, energy is life.
As a stylist in six inch heels during the day and a barefoot yoga teacher during the evening, these sandals have brought me immense ease as I transition from one to the other. It's the perfect balance of comfort, quality, style and function. The sandals are intentionally made to restore the balance of energies. Their exclusive Energy Flow Technology™ channels the natural, rejuvenating energies inherent in the earth's surface.
I was blown away by their attention to detail. From the gorgeous shoebox, to the silk yoga mat bag (that wraps the sandal), to the pull tab, everything had a purpose. As the Black Brio appeared neatly tucked under, I put them on straight away with huge excitement. As a connoisseur of visual styling, I felt a kinship with their aesthetic.

In my yoga classes, I never fail to talk about creating a solid base, a strong foundation. How often do you go for a pedicure, foot scrub or a foot message? But you always remember to brush your teeth, wash your face and take a shower - foot love should be the same.
Our feet are the foundation of our body, which means keeping our feet healthy helps keep us healthy. Juil's sole conductors are all about this, which incorporates the copper insets for each toe and heel. As mentioned on their website, the conductors “discharge and absorb the earth’s natural energies with every step you take, connecting you to the earth in a way that traditional footwear doesn’t.”
As a yoga practitioner and as a human walking this earth, I strongly believe that it is essential to begin by building your feet as your solid roots to build upward from. If your feet are your power point connecting to earth, they will move energy up correctly through your ankles, knees, hips and spine. Thus preventing unnecessary injuries and allowing you to practice and master more advanced asanas successfully. And this is what Juil's mission statement promises: to enhance your well-being.

After all, we all want to protect ourselves and mother nature while enjoying every step we take. Ensure the stability of your foundation, get grounded and do your feet a favor, get your hands on a pair of Juil sandals!
