Day 16---Gold Leaf Heels

Today is the first day that I have worn a pair of shoes that I was truly reluctant to put on.

I was wary of these shoes for several reasons:

1. I could not remember the last time that I wore them. So, this leads me to wonder, WHY have I not been wearing them?

2. They have a pretty low heel. This means that they fall into the "not quite flats, but not quite heels either" category. I don't like this category.

3. They have ankle ties. Ankle ties are not a good look for people who have short legs. I fall into that genre of people.

So, after wearing these shoes all day long, I came to some startling realizations:

1. I HATE these shoes. Yes, they ARE cute, but appearances can be deceiving. Because, while these shoes are admittedly adorable, they are only adorable in theory.

2. These shoes were purchased from H&M, and while H&M has really awesome stuff, these are not the most well made shoes that I have ever owned. In fact, they are intensely uncomfortable. They pinch my feet right where the leafy straps hit my foot. OUCH!

3. They have these ankle straps. Now let me premise this with the statement "I DO NOT HAVE 'CANKLES'" (you know, calf-ankles), but these shoes give the appearance of that. And I HATE that!

4. The heel is just not up to height standards. As you have most likely noticed from my posts, I WEAR VERY HIGH HEELS. And, these are just an awkward height. I spend a lot of time on the stairclimber at the gym for the one purpose of showing off my sweet "stems" (hahahahaha JUST KIDDING!) and these shoes do nothing for my legs. But seriously, I enjoy a higher heel. Is there something so wrong with that???

All in all, these heels are just not my favorite. I need to designate an area in which I am putting the shoes that I no longer love. I am sure that at some point of my life, I adored these shoes, but that time has passed. And I am now going to get rid of them. So, if there is anyone out there, size 9 (eek!), who REALLY loves these shoes---even after my SCATHING REVIEW---let me know, and I will send them your way.

On another note, I realized that I am going to be "out of touch" with technology while up in Etna, California visiting my BFFFE (Best Friend For Freaking Ever, duh) Renee Michele Johnson during my Spring Break next week. So, I am considering, against what I really want to do, not posting for a couple of days. Because I will run into problems such as: How do I wear high heels while shooting rifles? How do I wear heels while riding a horse? How do I wear heels while drinking Coors Light and throwing the bottles at trees for points? How do I wear heels while attending a cow castration? So you see, it might be a tad difficult to fit in all of my shoes when the only shoes I typically wear in Etna are my running shoes or boots. We'll see....the decision has not been made yet :)I don't want to disappoint "All Hail"...I know you wait expectantly each day to read my witty posts :)

Now, off to rip off these HORRIBLE HEELS! (hehehe)
