shoe sadness

[rootofnewt]

I'm that person. You know, the one with the perfectly coordinated outfit and the shoes that don't match.

yesterday, it was a black crinoline under a black velvet skirt, black lace shirt under a black open crochet wide-sleeve sweater . . . black over-the-knee socks and red legwarmers. And my new balance shoes.

Today, it shall be black denim miniskirt, black undershirt with hot pink trim, another open-weave sweater, black tights, and planet print fleece legwarmers. and my new balance shoes.

Oh, well. My New Balance country walkers were expensive and the soles of my Stonefly mary janes are now uneven. I can't afford yet *another* $100 pair of shoes this year, so the NB it shall be.

I cringe whenever I put them on and take them off and catch sight of them, but it's better to walk with slightly less pain, ne?

I wish shoe companies could make comfortable shoes in cool colors. Come on--the 974 would look so awesome in black with purple and silver accents. They make *some* country walking/adventure shoes in darker colors, but they're different styles and the extra/higher/lower lace hook placement puts really nasty pressure on some of my trigger points. Nerve pain doesn't belong with comfort shoes.

They were perfect for me. So freakin' comfortable. I wasn't a fan of the velcro, but I discovered it made it easy to get my shoes on and off when my fingers weren't happy. Of course, my hair gets all caught in the hook side, but that's life.
