Shoe Shopping!

Girls LURV shoe shopping! Well, most girls that is...Shoe shopping for me is a trial and error process. It's all about style, design, and most importantly COMFORT. I think comfort is a key issue. Of-course I wont buy an ugly shoe just because it's comfortable. But I definitely wont buy a sexy or pretty shoe if it isn't comfortable. I mean I wouldn't feel confident wobbling around with my poor toesies squished to death in strappy stiletto sandals! Standing hours on end with the only thought occupying my mind is that I need to run (ok, ok, wobble) home to free my 10 loves.

Part of the whole comfort issue, is the one size DON'T fit all angle. So, what's 'comfortable' for one girl might not be considered 'comfortable' to another girl. My foot size is a 36 but i sometimes have to wear a 37 because I have wide feet. Actually the most perfect size is 36.5, which many shoe brands don't carry! Again, it's a trial and error issue. I just keep on trying till I find what I need (styling and comfing!).

What's the whole point of what I've written? What do shoes have to do with my blog?! I thought you would never ask!

Basically, I was trying to establish that based on Personality, Physicality,Threshold of pain, Comfort zones, and finally Style inclinations...there is NOT a one size fits all formula for shoe shopping. Point. Full stop. Now think of dieting! And make the link!

What works for you might not work for me. What works for me might not work for you. It's like freaking shoe shopping! We all got different feet! The long toed feet, the short feet, the wide feet, the pudgy feet, the long toed and big feet, etc, etc etc. So, what do we do?! Trial and error. Yes, me dears. Trial and error. Only experience and listening to your body will tell you what shoe (figuratively speaking) will fit you.

For now, I have stumbled upon a good fit ;)
It's a bit different than my regular norm, but hey, anything is possible. Really. I am now eating things I would have NEVER dreamt of even putting in my mouth. Yup yup. It can be done. I've learnt to never say never. The good news is that I've dropped a jeans size ;)

Never give up when you go shoe shopping. You never know what you might stumble upon.
