Shoes?

Tweet

I know some people have a lot of shoes. Maybe not Imelda Marcos level of shoes, but more than a few pairs. Last winter I had to buy a new pair of shoes. Not want to, had to. I had been gluing my right heel back to the rest of the shoe. And then I walked out of my left sole. I took a step and the sole stayed behind. Now, these shoes are not cheap. Probably the reason they lasted... 7 years. I will admit I don't wear them every day. I wear a kind of flip flop, one that neither goes between any toe and is adjustable. I normally find them in the men's shoes at places like Walmart... which I haven't been to in like 3 years. Yes, they are reaching their expiration date as well. But... I have discovered not stores for my shoes in town, not even in state... I had to go to a web site in New Orleans for my shoes. I guess it is a good thing I finally found the size that made my very fussy feet happy. I'm a 5 foot tall female, I wear a size 8 triple wide shoe. I don't wear them every day, in fact, if I stay in the house I'm apt to not put anything besides my flip flops on. I can barely walk barefoot. The flip flops I wear are built with arch supports and other things, along the line of helping guys who want to do stuff. I also wear arch support straps and in the last 4 years have been wearing pressure hose (they zip up.) Honestly, it should give you an idea of how bad my feet are. When I had the house remodeled in 1999 I had the one shower fitted with a bench so I can sit while I shower. Yes, there are some parts I stand for, since I can stand, but most of the shower is sitting. So, a good friend of mine and I were talking shoes. I told her that I had brought both shoes with me to see her, the shoe shoes for doing stuff while I'm dressed, but if I had to go to the bathroom I had my flip flops. Today, while I'm still dressed from other stuff I did today, I took my shoes off and am in my flip flops. We are going into winter, and that means I'll be wearing warm socks while wearing my flip flops, I do have some fuzzy slippers, but they like to twist around and end up in some un-shoe like shape on my feet. I am considering taking them apart and maybe attach them to my flip flops. Honestly, I had wanted to go get a new pair this last summer, but... well... my summer was awful, and I don't think I can talk these flip flops into another year. So, how many pairs of shoes do you have? Ya know... when my roommate comes home, if she isn't fitted with a artificial leg, she'll only need 1 shoe from now on.
