I'm wearing heels today and I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. They're a low heel, so it hasn't been that bad, but I still have back-up shoes in the car, just in case. I figured they'd be a good way to dress up the jeans I wore to work today, but something about them feels not quite right, which I think has more to do with me than the actual shoes...
I just bought old lady shoes.
Okay, so maybe they're not that bad. I must have liked them enough to fork out actual money for them. I guess they're kind of old lady retro, in a good way.
I volunteered to help out at a charity event tomorrow night, and I have a feeling I'll be on my feet most of the evening. It's a formal dress event, so jeans and Danskos wasn't going to cut it. As someome who can't really "do" heels, I needed to find something that was a compromise between nice, yet not pain inducing. I just happened to slip on this pair of Clarks, and WOW, they're SUPER comfy. I think I can deal with retro old lady if my feet are comfortable all evening.
I did do a few laps around the Shoe Pavilion in a pair of Aerosoles heels (I can't seem to find a photo) that were a bit more "hip" (square toe, contrating stitching), but they just weren't me, and I could already tell that they'd kill my feet. They just didn't have the cushiony goodness of the Clarks.
I'll let you know how it goes after tomorrow night...
