need a lift?

a while back i wrote a post on wearing shoes that are ill fitting.  add this onto the list of shoe offenses…

so i was in the grocery store the other day when i heard this loud clicking noise.  i was wondering what it was as the sound seemed to be coming closer and closer.  could it be someone with a cane or a crutch or even a walker?  surely it couldnt be a horse!  no…it was a woman who had worn her shoes down.  im having a hard time understanding why people do this when there are shoe repair shops everywhere and if i am not mistaken, some dry cleaners still do shoe repairs as well.  it is not expensive at all to get new lifts  put on your shoes when the heel starts wearing away. (depending on the shoes and where you go, lifts only cost about $5 per shoe)  it is so not cute to wear your shoes down so much that the white part starts showing and the leather/fabric starts shredding and splitting.  so take my advice…get new lifts put on your shoes when they start wearing away.  no need in sounding like a thoroughbred when you walk.

Watch Your Step

Ok – what’s really going on?  My latest pet peeve – women who wear shoes that dont fit, whether they are several sizes too big or several sizes too small.  Now being someone who has a thing for shoes, I understand that feeling of euphoria that comes upon you when you see the “perfect ones” from afar.  You know, those sexy red peep toe platform stilettos that you considered spending part of your rent money on or wait I know, those fly round toe, leopard print sling backs with the red 4 inch heel (you just wont eat for a week).  Umm umm umm I know I know.  They look so nice and even though they may mutilate your feet and possibly cripple you, they wont talk back and you will look outrageously stunning as you saunter (or hobble) down the street.  Anyway, having said all of that, shoes should not slip up and down off of your feet like a flip flop nor should your feet look like bird feet hanging off of a perch.  That’s why your pedicure is jacked up. You know those shoes dont fit.  You just ruined an entire outfit.  If a shoe doesnt come in your size, dont buy it.  Also, while on the subject of feet, make sure you visit your local nail shop (or surgeon) to take care of your feet before you wear shoes that will show any part of your foot.  It’s that simple. Besides, I will point and laugh at you if you trip and fall with your crusty feet.  Let’s not have this conversation again.
