Shoe Shopping

It use to be that shoe shopping was so enjoyable. Then the big clunky heels came into fashion. Next it was the earthly shoes. I waited so long for flats to come back in and leaped for joy when they started making a comeback. They are everywhere and cute too. Problem however. I am now having foot issues. I decided that I just have to give up the thought that I am going to be able wear cheap, cute shoes. So my mission over the last two weeks was to buy comfortable shoes. Everyone wears Keen...I will try them. Zappos.com has a new customer. I found cute lace ups and Mary Jane's in the Keen section. However, the Mary Jane's were too wide for my foot. That sucked because I really liked the raisin color. Those got sent back but kept the lace up oxfords. I went to The Walking Store and bought Clarks. Yeah, as much as I thought I could do the 'ugly' thing...I am just not there yet. I returned those shoes after they weren't as comfortable (or as cute) as I had hoped. So back to Zappos.com. This time, I ordered two Teva's. One in a Mary Jane and another in a slingback. Today, I got them. I actually liked both and they were comfortable. However, I couldn't justify both. I went with the pumpkin slingback because I may actually be able to put an orthotic in it if it comes to that. I HATE GETTING OLDER!
