Shoe Therapy

I love shoes.

Anyone who knows me knows this.

I’m cheap, though, and I will wear the heck out of my shoes, refusing to throw them out just because styles change.

It should not have surprised me when I encountered a little problem after school a few days ago…

I had known that the shoes were on their way out.

The clue?

When I was driving and thought I had gum on the bottom of my shoes.  You see, they kept sticking to the pedals.  Turns out that the bottoms had split in half across the soles.

Still, I managed to get a few more days out of them.

Well, upon having them come completely apart, I set them aside.

It was time to go shoe shopping.

Unfortunately, Kohl’s didn’t have much to offer.  Dang.  I even had a 15% coupon.

Today, the Mr. and I headed to Dillards.

I needed a pair of shoes.  It’s getting cold down here in Florida, and I have soccer games to attend.

I tried on four or five pairs of shoes before settling on a pair…

Yes, that’s the German brand.

Are you jealous yet?

Slides…very important to me so I can show off my knitted socks.

It’s going to be sad when I select my attire based on these shoes matching everything, eh?

My feet are happy.

The bank account is not.

The shoes were pricey.

Hopefully, it will be years before they succumb to the fate of the other pair…
