So this morning I wanted to wear my brown skirt. I absolutely love this skirt but haven't worn it in well over a month because none of my "barefeet" shoes really go. So I thought, I'll wear my sketchers. They are "flat" at least so it shouldn't be bad, right?
It's really the oddest sensation. They have the slightest of heels (about 2 cm) and from the moment I first put them on, I felt as though I were teetering dangerously, unsure of how to take the next step. Now I am getting shooting twinges of pains in the tops of my feet and up my calves every time I walk. No wonder babies are always removing their shoes at every opportunity!
So no more torture shoes for me, no matter how much I want to wear the corresponding outfit. A brief look online has been more frustrating than helpful as every time I come across a pair that looks like it might be OK, I read the description full of talk about "support" that scares me from trying them.
And WHAT am I going to do with this closet full of shoes?

What to do with all these shoes?

Surely your feet aren't that sensitive to regular shoes.
You'll have to get the other kind in all colors so your outfits will be color-coordinated.
Put them out at the curb; someone will take the unwanted shoes; perhaps the squirrels...
It really did hurt all day yesterday. I am not going to try that again soon. I'm convinced it's because we are not meant to walk that way. Maybe I need to move someplace where it is normal to go barefoot :)
It did at least spur me to buy a pair of what we used to call Chinese laundry shoes in college - although now that is a brand name for shoes that are nothing like it! - They look like Mary Janes but are made of cloth and don't look like they have more than a thin rubber sole. Hopefully they work since they only cost $9!
