Not only did I solicit some rather lewd looks from many an unsavory character (although by the amount of sweat out there today I think they are decidedly savoury - bleh) along the way, but OH-MY-GOD my feet are KILLING ME now!
I may have to peel these shoes off when I get home. Running is a breeze compared to scuttling around in these torture manacles!
I may just have to become a 'woman in comfortable shoes' to prevent this from happening again, or perhaps just not go for a stupid long walk when wearing less than comfy shoes... either way...
Update: It is now Friday and I still have large blisters on both my little toes from the long walk in those stupid shoes. The foot rub Richard kindly gave me last night helps a lot though.
** To protect Basil from my and other kids. Because I somehow suspect the 'show me that your hands and feet are clean before you can get in' thing is going to get old really quickly! ;)
When I worked at HSBC at the Waterfront I also had to wear smarter office wear, which often also involved wearing smarter shoes, ie. High heels. Popping over the road to the V & A shopping centre was a mare as it was in walking distance, therefore hell on the feet and very uncomfortable. I am glad i am in a more casual environment now where i can wear jeans and slops to work if i want to!! Although, some days i do miss the heels cos you just feel sexier. But its so impractical! I cant believe women wear heels at weekends, i see them prancing around the shops, they look so nice and soooo comfortable/!!!! Rats! I never feel comfy in those shoes. Cant walk fast enough in them either!!
ReplyDeleteit's the old practical versus desirable debate - I don't think any of my shoes are comfortable, but my god I love 'em!
ReplyDeleteAs for Basil's seat covers, when I stayed with my sis, I banned all food and dirtiness in the hands of my nieces...of course, my late night socialising with all the encumbent fumbling in the back seat meant I messed up the leather seats myself...
Is Basil named after Mr Fawlty? Does that make your other car Polly the maid, or Sybil, the cynic?
Hey Sexy Momma! I don't like high-heel-torture shoes. SO glad I have my own business. I wear comfy but nice shoes (especially in the summer) I like pretty sandals.
