a solemn event on campus dictates professional dress, so i purchase a cheap pair of boots - with heels. my first heels since a foot surgery many years ago after which the podiatrist recommended running shoes only (!) or at the very least flat shoes. but in these boots i click when i walk, i am much taller, and i even feel pretty stylish. i start to remember why i like heels so much. but soon enough my bunions start to scream, my instep aches, and shooting pains course up my foot. i rush to remove the offending footwear. and finally i find blessed relief in my big old clunky sensible shoes. you know, the flat ones.

yeh why do they have to make them soo pointed!
ReplyDeletepointy is not the issue for me. i don't think my toes would even squeeze into anything pointy. i think my problem is the added height. all two and a half inches. perhaps if i'd worn heels more as a young adult - to church and proms and weddings - i'd have built up the muscles or stamina or whatever it is i need to get away with wearing them now. but i didn't. even then, i wore flats. those few time i did wear heels like everyone else, i'd fall off 'em.
ReplyDeleteperhaps it's the cheap part? just looking at those boots made my feet hurt. :-)
ReplyDeleteha! you could be right! but i what if i buy an expensive pair and the same thing happens???
