ABOUT THE AUTHOR
RINPOCHE’S VISION


About the author Shar Khentrul Rinpoche Jamphel Lodrö:

Khentrul Rinpoche Jamphel Lodrö is the founder and spiritual director of Dzokden. Rinpoche spent the first 20 years of his life yak herding and chanting mantras in the highlands of Tibet. Encouraged by the bodhisattvas, he left his family to study in various monasteries under the guidance of more than twenty-five masters from all the Tibetan Buddhist traditions. His non-sectarian approach earned him the title of Rime (Unbiased) Master, and he was identified as the reincarnation of the famous Chakra Master Ngawang Chozhin Gyaco. While at the core of his teachings is the realization that the diversity of all spiritual traditions in the world is of great importance; he himself focuses on the Jsonang-Shambhala tradition. His teachings of Chakra (the Wheel of Time) contain profound methods for harmonizing our external environment with the inner world of the body and mind, and ultimately for achieving a golden age of peace and harmony (Dzokden).

These fit very nicely, are comfortable, and work for my wide feet!
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Brown
Once I learned while shoe shopping in my youth that I needed wide-sized shoes, I wasn't able to easily choose from any shoes I saw in the store. I usually have to go find the wide widths and have to deal with the limited styles they have. Shopping online has been hit and miss, too. Sometimes, shoes are advertised as wide width, but end up still being too narrow. These shoes fit me just right. They were not too tight at the toes, gave good width at the arch, and the opening was large enough that I didn't have to undo every single lace just to get my foot in. They also look nice, and I'm sure will take a decent polish. Also, note that this does say it's an Oxford shoe, but it does have the open lacing and is more of a derby-style shoe. This also helps with sizing for my wide feet. If I didn't already have a pair of black shoes, I'd look at picking one of these up. My only reservation with these is that the soles are not dark-colored to complement a more formal style. I feel the white makes them a little more casual. The sole is also more transparent/opaque coloring at the heel and underneath, which you can kind of see-through, so keep that in mind. It's not fully clear, but is kind of transparent, which I was not expecting. I think it also shows where it picks up dirt as you wear it. Just more of a style cue one way or another. As a reference, I buy the 4E wide and Extra Wides in New Balance and Skechers. I also have a hard time getting any good fit in Nike shoes.

Perfect Blend of Comfort and Style
Size: 9, Color: Brown, Size: 9, Color: Brown
I recently purchased size 9 of these shoes, and they exceeded my expectations in every way! Here’s what I love about them: 1. Comfort: The moment I put them on, I noticed how soft and supportive they felt. The cushioning provides all-day comfort, making them perfect for long walks, workdays, or running errands. 2. Fit: The sizing is spot-on! I ordered my usual size, and they fit perfectly with no need to size up or down. There’s enough room for my toes to move without feeling too loose or tight. 3. Style: These shoes look even better in person. The design is sleek and versatile, making them easy to pair with both casual and semi-formal outfits. I’ve received several compliments already! 4. Durability: I put it on the day of purchase. After wearing them daily for a couple of days, they still look brand new. The stitching and material seem high-quality and built to last. 5. Value for Money: For the price, these shoes deliver exceptional value. You’re getting premium comfort and style without breaking the bank. Final Thoughts: If you’re looking for shoes that offer comfort, style, and durability, I highly recommend giving these a try. I’ll definitely be considering another pair in a different color soon! To conclude, I’m very happy for this purchase. Will definitely buy again.
