Okay so I need all your shopaholic TOTA's advice on shoes. I like to wear heels but as of late most of my heels are killing me after a night of dancing. My most comfortable pair of heels were a pair of silver pumps but I think they've seen better days and I just can't seem to be really comfortable in my other shoes.
Help!! For those of you that wear heels which brands/types should I buy for going out and dancing? I don't care about price at all as last night while I was hobbling out of Ultra the hubby is like maybe you should just get some custom shoes or something...I don't care..spend $500 even as long as they don't make your feet hurt. LOL (dunno where/what he was talking about but hey no budget on comfy shoes sounds good)
I'm short so I like heels..can I get all you girls advice on what looks good and most importantly is comfy? My feet will be eternally thankful! |

We get periods, childbirth, heels... all the painful things in this world but just as there is midol, epidurals and gas and air, there is hope for our poor feeties.
You need to get gel pads for under the balls of your feet, this cushions and absorbs most of the impact so your feet don't. There will never be a comfy pair of heels but make sure that you have gel pads and strap/heel pads and it should make your night of boogying more pleasant.
Buy your shoes slightly big too, to add all these additions to.

I am a shopoholic when it comes to produce.
I just am obsessed with picking the right piece of fruit.
I 've been known to travel across the province from market to market, fruit stand to fruit stand, farmers produce sale to farmers produce sale, just to find the right piece that i'm looking for at that particular moment.
Whether it's peaches, mellons, strawberries even apples, i will stop at nothing to get the exact piece of fruit that i am longing for at the right moment.
I perform these three tests.
1)The squeeze test...is the fruit the right level of tenderness, certain fruits you have to be careful with however, squeezing a grape too much will make it burst, which is no good to you or the grape.
2) The smell test...how does it smell? Do you detect sourness in the fruit? Do you want sourness in the fruit? Some fruits are difficult to smell, like melon, due to the hard outer shell. In cases such as this I then use my imagination to figure out what it smells like. If I imagine that the fruit smells like I want it to smell then it passes the test, however often times my imagination causes me to imagine fruit that does not smell like i want it to smell, in which case it recieves a failing grade.
3) The shake test...I shake the fruit. Is there anything inside the fruit moving around that could cause problems? Does it make noise, does it feel like the fruit could fall appart. These are all questions that I need to ask before i commit to a piece of fruit.
So shop on you shopoholics, but if its for fruit, dont forget to squeeze...
...just not too hard. |
I too am a shopoholic when it comes to not only produce, but ALL foods. Definatley no money saving there...best of the best, all to cook with for my dear little ones, insert name here if been to momma dee's. My fridge and freezer is always overflowing, unfortunatley not my closet :( Food and cooking takes on the number one shopping priority in my life.
Hey Josh, wanna hit up the fruit and meat market this saturday? :D

ok, there are certain brands that will work well for your feet and others that won't, so be prepared for some trial and error. some universally comfortable shoes are franco sartos and enzo angiolini if you can find cute ones. i don't find them comfortable at all, but my feet like different brands. nine west and most aldo shoes fit me perfectly and i can wear their heels all night with no problem, and i put up with a little discomfort (lessened by the gel pads) from my bcbg's because they're so damn cute(who didn't love their gold birdcage manolo knockoffs?!). when you try on a shoe, watch for where the weight distribution is. even when the heel is high, if the shoes fits your arch well and most of the weight is distributed evenly (not just on the balls of your feet) you'll be able to survive the night in them.
if you need a shoe shopping buddy, i give me a call. i'm always ready for more shoes :) |

nine west and bcbg's are the BEST!!! i'm not a heel girl AT ALL ... flip flops & sneakers or just bare feet would be the best for me but when it comes to these shoes i can actually walk & dance all nite long without pain. ;) |
