Today, I wore the aforementioned sundress. And instead of sandals, I wore close-toed black flats with a black bow. Oh, wait, instead of telling you, I could just show you:

Yeah, those. Black flats from Old Navy, a store certainly renowned for its comfortable & supportive footwear.
I've owned these suckers for approximately EVER, & I'll admit that a close friend once instructed - nay, ordered - me to throw them away because they sometimes, um, smell a little bit. Anyway, I found 'em buried in my closet this a.m., which was a pleasant surprise because I thought I'd acquiesced my friend's demand.
And tonight, I decided to walk home from work. One mile into it, it was like I'd just run a marathon in a pair of slippers. I grabbed dinner, hopped a bus & hobbled home to nurse my wounded soles. Lest I think I was safe from the dreaded summer sandal massacre, I present you with photographic evidence to the contrary:

OK, OK, fine. They don't look like any major battle wounds. But I promise you, my feet are screaming at me. I think I might be in less pain if I'd just walked a mile in actual slippers.
Ouch!
ReplyDeleteThose are some ginormous pictures of your feet.
ReplyDeleteI have the exact same problem with summer shoes! I wish reefs were acceptable for all occasions!]
