A woman, writing about shoes. I know right? How cliché? Is that even how you spell that?
I was trying to sleep last night, and get ready for work this morning, and these thoughts were just swirling. Now as I sit eating lunch at my desk in a completely empty office, I think - better out than in - so here goes.
You know the age old adage "Walk a mile in my shoes...." I like it. One of my favorites because I am such a fan of not judging others. But I also think sometimes..."What the hell are you doing in those shoes?"
I mean really, if you need to ask people to walk in your shoes, it is likely because they are judging you. But sometimes, it is that your shoes don't fit, or are inappropriate, and they have resulted your panties being in a bunch. See how the whole outfit has to come together?
So if the panties are your emotions, the shoes are likely relationships - be them personal or professional. And if you end up with the wrong sandals because you paid less, do I really need to walk in them to understand you? Or can I simply see by the loose, frayed straps and rusted buckle that they really aren't good for anyone?
Did you even think about where you were headed or what you needed to accomplish before you chose those four inch stilettos? I mean yeah, they look great - but can they do anything else?
And Loafers? really ? All they accomplish is literally in the title.
Now a good work boot, now we are talking. I said a GOOD work boot. Not some made in Japan, vinyl model with no reinforcement for the tough jobs. No. I am talking about genuine leather with stitched seams, one that will be around for years and years, all the while providing comfort and support.
Flip Flops. Again I say really? Pay attention to the indecisive nature before you think you are getting far in those. They flip, and flop. Enough said.
There is nothing wrong with a good, sensible shoe either. Just try to be sure it is also of good quality and a little flashy embellishment or color never hurt either.
Sneakers. Are you getting my drift? all you need to know is in the title.
Now mind you. Let's say you have found the perfect shoes. And then you wear them everywhere, day in and day out, and you climb through mud and you kick stones. If you never wash them or polish them or give them a break, and they fall to pieces, that's on you. Take care of the good things when you find them.
So choose your shoes wisely folks, after all without them, you can't get any service.
Phew ! I feel better. back to work... Have a lovely day !
