You guys, last Friday I went to see my sports massage guy and we had a little talk about shoes. And the beginnings of that plantar fasciitis that I’m starting to feel.
He perhaps implied that I didn’t need to wear heels all the time.
I perhaps implied that he was an idiot.
He wanted to know how high my heels really were.
I said something about the vicinity of 3-4 inches.
He passed out & hit his head & is now suing me for causing his PTSD.
Before he filed the lawsuit, he perhaps said something about how PR-ing my next marathon might be difficult if my feet hurt all the time.
I said FINE and stomped around like a tantrumy three year old.
And now, dear internets, I need your help.
I need to buy a couple of pairs of shoes. And by shoes, I mean shoes that will not elongate my sad stumpy legs. Shoes that will cause the legs of all my pants to drag on the ground. Shoes that are FLAT!
I find myself in new territory – buying flat dress shoes, but I know someone out there must have advice (advice that isn’t ‘welcome to Dansko territory *SARAH*).
So – here are the offerings.
Thoughts? Votes? Suggestions? (The first person who suggest Crocs is getting a 4″ stilleto to the neck!)
PS – What the hell is this?
PPS – How cute is this? Why isn’t it flat?
Ha, one pair is actually called Whimper? Because that’s exactly what I hear you doing right now. I like pointy toed flats more than ballet. I like the Kenneth Coles and the Nine Wests best out of what you have there. Have you looked at anything from Clarks? They usually have some cute styles that are also very comfy and good for your feet. Good luck!
I am wondering if, since this is a punishment, maybe I deserve these: http://www.zappos.com/product/7437504/color/160322
I vote for the Kenneth Coles and the Nine Wests also!
I agree with the first comment; something with a pointier toe will help elongate. Rounded toes always make me looked chopped off. Those Nine Wests are pretty dang cute though.
Agree re pointy over round unless there’s a big scary buckle or something on the round ones. Like maybe these: http://www.zappos.com/french-sole-wiffle-black-suede-w-leather-trim
Also, get some Res-Q Tape to temporarily hem up those pants!
I really like the Whimpers. I think you would find yourself walking out of the first set…
I think it’s important you know that my crocs went to goodwill!! 🙂
ha! That is awesome. Although I still have twinges of guilt/humiliation whenever I think about me inserting my foot so irretrievably into my mouth!
