We all know whoever coined the phrase “beauty is pain”, knew what they were talking about. As women, we get to experience what it is like to fall in love over and over again- usually, a few times a year. If we are lucky, we fall deeply in love with the man of our dreams, but let’s face reality, in most cases, it is shoes!
The fine line is drawn between accepting our truth that just like the men we fall for, these shoes cause us nothing but pain and problems. As the season brings us non-stop events, celebrating the holidays, and embracing the New Year’s resolve, our feet practically go into a state of shock. Ankle boots, knee highs, stilettos, Oh My!
It is a never ending parade of lust, not true love between us and our designer pumps. How could something so beautiful cause us such grief?
We may never know. As I searched for the perfect pair to get me through the holidays… Peep toes? A wedge? Sky-high arches? I found myself settling for a fancier, metallic flat for my own comfort and sanity’s sake. After all, all of my favorite shoes have a four hour, wear limit, tops. They cannot get me through a long day or night, navigating through the streets, standing at the bar waiting for a drink, pretending my smile is legit and not just my way of gritting my teeth from the agonizing pain. I couldn’t believe I was choosing practicality over desire, so unlike me.
I stared at my metallic flats and said to myself, “Sure, they go with everything, I’ll be fine. I’d rather be comfortable.” A true fashionista to the core, this thought process began to worry me. Settling? A fashionista never settles. Not when it comes to a man, and certainly not when it comes to her shoes!
I needed a solution. So like any girl with a dream, I went out and chased one. Sure, enough, I found one. I felt it was my responsibility to share this with my fellow divas, who are bound together to achieve total world domination.
So what if I told you there was a way to painlessly wear pretty pumps? You’d want in wouldn’t you?
