Shoes that are evil

[burntcopper]

There should be rules about road-testing shoes at the factory. If you can't walk for more than ten minutes in them without pain, these are not to leave the design stage. Seriously. I have gorgeous wedges/espradilles, they were wondrous in the shop, yesterday I got off the tube at Regent's park, and after almost exactly ten minutes was hobbling in pain as the same straps at the front on each shoe (many cute rope-like straps of leather and hemp) had cut into my feet and I now have lines of blisters along said areas. Barefoot the rest of the way. Once I was at tilehurst station on the way home, I walked the mile. Think they're going to be resigned to clubbing/going out, where I don't have to walk more than five minutes at a time in them.

contemplating Kung Fu Hustle some more. Also wearing Gryffindor cheerleader outfit all tomorrow.

And having had 'children of god' from Disney's The Hunchback of notre Dame in my head all lunch, have decided need to track ST down. ooooo, new Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis up for download tonight. :salivates:

it's actually a giant ploy:

buy pretty shoes.

wear pretty shoes.

pretty shoes kill feet mid-way through day.

cannot finish day.

go to nearest store.

buy incredibly expensive sandals (£25 for flip flops, wtf?).

reapeat as required.

Vaseline is a wonderful thing when coping with new shoes.
