On Shoes
11 05 2006I have been searching for years for the perfect shoe. The perfect pair of pumps to be exact. Ones that look good (as they always seem to on other people) feel good (as they always appear to on other people judging by the ease with which they walk) and don’t cost an arm and the proverbial leg. I have many, many pairs of shoes. Alas, my most comfortable pair are not high heels, nor are they even vaguely pump-like. They are mid-heeled red leather boots. Perfect for winter. And jeans, Not so perfect for all my long trousered suits which I wear for work, nor for the summer.
There is nothing worse than seeing trousers brushing the ground, because they are too long. Pardon the pun, but that’s pants. So, I need high heels. But of my many heels that are beginning to fall out of my shoe storage not one is really comfortable. What gives? They feel o.k in the shop. I walk, pace, twirl. Fine. I hand over my money and get the things home, looking forward to wearing them to work the next day. By the time I’m going home, I’m wondering if my feet still belong to me. Will have to keep searching I suppose
Update - I have found the shoes! Shoes I can walk it without wincing and that actually are comfortable. Now all I have to do is dispose of a few pairs of shoes I will never wear again.
i know exactly what you mean about the perfect shoes! for me, i’m super picky about the design that i don’t even care if they’re painfully uncomfortable. so that’s why i love flat slippers but i have yet to find the perfect one that makes my heart go thump. =( glad you have found yours though.
Thanks, now if only I can repeat the find! I’m told that Italy is the place to go though. Apparently it is shoe heaven.
