While we try to be barefoot or in kigos most of the time, there are moments and occasions that this is not possible. For me (Kristin), the most common is meetings in a corporate environment when I don a pair of heels and mentally prepare myself for discomfort. Living in México City means a variety of commuting options including the bus, metro, bicycle, moped or car. I prefer to bicycle which allows me to avoid traffic and crowded public transportation during rush hour. Commuting in heels is an unbearable thought, so I slip into my kigo balis, hop on my bicycle and enjoy the exercise and view. Arriving at my destination I throw on my heels and stash my balis in my bag. Besides keeping my feet comfortable on my ride and walk through the city streets, kigos also keep me safe and stable with a flat rubber outsole. As any heel wearer knows, it is a welcome relief to slip my balis back on for my commute home. No need to prolong the discomfort! #kigobali #vamoskigo
