Press Level Fashion: Boston Bruins vs. Colorado Avalanche

During the hockey season, I find myself going from work to game frequently in any given week. A good week means covering four or five games, at least three of those on days where I have put in a full day at work. Most of the time my feet and the heels can handle the abuse. Unfortunately this past week I managed to sprain my ankle, but that wasn’t going to keep me from any of the games, or practices, on my schedule. So, when it came time to select an outfit for the Boston Bruins game on Columbus Day against the Colorado Avalanche, I knew that my best option for footwear would be a pair of flat boots. The lack of a heel made walking on the ankle easier, but I discovered that the boots also offered some great support for the weakened ankle. So running—okay, walking fast—from press level seat to elevator, and then from visitor’s locker room to the home team’s room became a piece of cake.

Media Tip: Sometimes it isn’t just that you need to forego the heels, sometimes you need to add a little ankle support. A good pair of black boots can take almost any outfit and keep it classy and dressy when you just can’t wear a pair of heels but definitely don’t want to miss an opportunity to cover a game.
