While I have been more than happy to walk around with my orange crocks all summer long. One of my co-workers impressed me by telling that she is usually carrying around 3-4 pairs of shoes with her. Being born with big flat duck feet, I never got the shoe hype at all. Finding perfectly fitting shoes is a hard work and finding perfectly fitting good looking shoes is even harder.
In the past I have had some really crappy shoes, including the black diamond heels pictured below. I somehow ended up getting the most akward outfit to my brother’s wedding. The dress was hideous and I practiced over a week to walk with these shoes. The shoes have been lying untouched with the dress in the closet since then.

Nothing still beats the fun of wearing pointe shoes. It’s close to impossible to imagine how uncomfortable they feel without actually trying a pair of them. They need to be couple of sizes too small and obviosly really tight to look good. That’s the whole point of them, to look good and hurt like hell. I don’t have any idea how I was actually once able to do anything with them. My seven minute dance session ended today with three big bleeding blisters and one dead body.
