Some people are doing NaBloPoMo<\/a> AND NaBloShoeMo<\/a>. I am not one of those people. I’d have run out of shoes to photograph two days ago, even including hiking boots, rain boots, slippers and ice skates.<\/p>\n

I am having lots of low-level shoe disgruntlement these days. Thinking about shoes while looking at others’ entries this month can do that to a gal. Probably it is Gus’s fault. I had lots of shoes that I really liked and that fit me really well. Then I got pregnant and it all went downhill.<\/p>\n

Actually it is really my own fault. I just have weird feet. First of all, they are really little. They’re bigger now, but not much. Also they are a tad on the wide side. I’ve practically never had shoes that didn’t require at least some breaking in, but then things are usually hunky dory.<\/p>\n

Now it seems like I don’t even have ONE pair of shoes that fits well. And they all have slightly different problems: some are too big, some too small, some need thick or thin socks only, some have Dr. Scholl’s products to assist them.<\/p>\n

Most tragic are my beloved wing tip Docs, staple of the cold weather months. I wore them today and for the second time in recent memory they made my foot hurt in a weird way. They are a little bit too big — Docs don’t come in half sizes — which might be the cause of the weird pain. If it turns out that they are the cause I’ll be sad sad sad.<\/p>\n

And annoyed, too, because I will have to go shopping for shoes. Probably try them on, even. Who wants to spend time on that? I prefer to just ogle shoes from afar, preferably online. Yep, I’m a shoe stalker. Here’s my latest footwear to drool over<\/a>, from those crunchy folks at Simple. Look at that stitching! Foxy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
