If the shoe fits

Ever complained that it just isn't fair how one girl can party all night in 13cm sky high heels and not walk around with a gimp while you have resorted to walking bear feet by the end of it? It's because they have one of two secrets. Before I let you in on it, here are a couple of things you gotta know about the tortures of shoes.

1. If it's on sale and just a tab bit too small it's still good. WRONG
We've all been there. Lets face it, after one outting, or 3 hours into wearing a pair of hot shoes that were too small for you, you would have dashed to the nearest store to buy a comfy pair of cheap thongs to soilder on the rest of the day.

2. The shoes fit perfectly when I bought it, but doesn't seem to after a fews hours. Did I just grow taller in the last few hours?
When we buy shoes, we only try them on and check them out in the mirror. If they get the: dam...they make me feel sexy tick of approval, a swipe later, you're walking out of the store with a shiny new pair of shoes. Our feet swell up when we walk in them and do grow a bit bigger.
When buying shoes, don't be hell bent on the size you believe you are. Buy them slightly loose, about half a size up. So when walking in them, your feet slide around in them a bit. After a few hours, they should fit perfectly.

3. Not all shoes styles will fit your standard shoe size. I know its hard to go one whole size up sometimes, but its for your own good.
Open toe flat shoes are a serial offender. They have no give and a very, very unlikely to stretch. So instead of squishing your toes into a pair, try going a size up. I gurantee you'll feel much more comfortable and last a longer distance. Pointed shoes, bouy are they torture walking around with cramped toes. Girl, just go up a size.

4. Not all feet were born equal.
Its time I put it out there. All feet are not the same. some have narrow feet, some wide, big, small, chubby, boney and some just dam sexy. Not all shoe styles will suit our feet. For instance, my wide flippers can't wear converse chux, dr martins and don't even dream about some sky high heels. You just have to learn to accept your feet for who they are. Just because you can't fit in those gorgeous narrow shoes, there are plenty of shoes in the sea for you.

Love your feet! No one wants deformed ugly feet because they wore shoes that just weren't right for them. You know your feet deserve better so don't settle for second best.

So back to why some girls can party all night long in a hot pair of heels? It because they are wearing shoes that are lose and have some give for swollen feet. They have sensibly chosen shoes that actually fit the contours of their feet. Or they are so smashed, their feet can't feel a thing. So next time your in a club, give your feet a second thought if you don't want to be a wall flower or that scummy girl walking around bare foot in the wee hours of the morning.

Stay tuned till next time!
Cheerio~!
