Fab-Fun Footwear
This week's prompt takes me back to my shoe fixation in high school. There was a shoe store I adored call Wild Pair-you could get the craziest shoes on sale for as little as $5. I had stilettos in all kinds of colors and styles, and one of my favorite finds was a pair of flat white boots with gold and silver moon and stars on them-great fun for dancing! Oh, those were the days! When I had my car accident [almost 22 years ago] I broke my ankle and had a knee injury that has prevented me from wearing any shoes with a skinny heel. Makes me glad that chunky heels and wedges are in style, but on the odd occasion I have a lovely pair of purple suede pumps I'll wear as long as I'm not doing too much standing or walking. I really miss the days of sky high shoes; I'm 5'1" so I could easily get away with the extra height. Today my footwear is much different from the big hair and high heels of the 80s, and yes I did sometimes wear ankle socks with lace even though I was 15-18 years old at the time!
10. Wool hand knit socks-my feet get cold, and these are the best. They are also fun knitting projects that are very portable. I think these totally count.
9. Flats in assorted colors-love them and can wear them nearly year round here in the South.
8. Black Mary Janes-perfect for #10
6. Black Clogs-see #6
5. New Balance running shoes
4. Sandals-so close to being bare-foot
3. Clark's riding [style] boots-LOVE LOVE them
2. No lace Pumas I use for riding my bike indoors.
1. Cowboys boots-I only have two pairs, but would like to have more. They are soooo comfortable, and they make people smile.
