Shoes...shoes...shoes...and shoes

You might recall my giraffe walk post last year.  Well then it is no secret I have a tough time finding shoes that work for me.  They must be incredibly flat, with a back, and non-skid bottoms.  Doesn't sound like a tall order but it has been.  For the last few years, I've only felt comfortable with 4 different shoes.  Gym shoes, special flip flops, plastic sandals, and my Velcro Sketchers.  It doesn't help that I have platypus wide feet.  I rarely can find shoes to purchase in a store so I have to usually mail order them.

Much to my surprise last week, Lands End had a bunch of shoes on clearance.  Doesn't hurt that they had free shipping!  So for $63.00, I found 4 more shoes that should work for my rotation.  Time will tell how comfortable I am in them.  My left foot appears to be larger than the right.  But it is a good start.

Nothing seems to make a girl happier than new shoes.  And as a bonus, last Sunday I met my friends for brunch.  I decided to put on those shoes that were so difficult last year and I was able to wear them okay!  I think my ankles are getting stronger.

Shoes and some cute kitty feet as a bonus!
