I love me some heels. I have never been one to complain (too much) about my feet hurting - I used to cram my feet into ballerina pointe shoes until I got blisters that would bleed for goodness sake. But I do not understand how these girls walk around London in high heels all day. Even in my comfiest heels, my feet are hurting by the time I get to the train station in the morning. I am fine when I am in the office doing minimal walking around, but walking on London's uneven pavement is a sprained ankle waiting to happen. In the past, wearing heels meant going from my apartment, into a cab or car, then to a bar / club / restaurant, then into a cab back home. Now I have to walk (uphill) to the train station, change trains via walking up some stairs or ramps, walk from the train station to work, walk to get some lunch etc etc etc. I know I am whining but it's my blog and I can whine if I want to. I miss my really high heels. They make my outfits so much cuter. Am I doomed to become one of these (very smart, practical) women?

  1. This is hilarious because 1. Joel and I talked about this at lunch and 2. cause its so funny.

    Gone are the days of wearing high heels and switching into your tennis shoes when you get off. Dr. Scholls has a new thing called Fast Flats, which are bendable, foldable flats you can fold into a sweet lil square and pack into your purse. I love a heel too, but in going to vegas, i realized i was gonna be miserable unless i worked it out, fast flats style :)

    GOODBYE 1980's! No shoulder pads, no tennis shoes. Just get you a pair of fast flats grrrl.

  3. Kait! Do not become one of those tennis shoe girls!! But do not sacrifice your feet either. Look for a stylish comfy alternative, maybe even with a little more support than the product which is "advertised" above, and then you will just have to carry your heels. Dr. Scholl's actually makes some cute but supportive flats. I think a trip to DSW is in order. xoxo

  4. PS Jen D, I am a little suspicious of your enthusiastic support of the Fast Flats. Is it just a coincidence that you work for an Ad agency? If I look at a list of McKinney clients, will I find old Doctor Scholl himself listed? xo
