My friends have poked and questioned my choice of footwear for as long as I can remember. It's time I laid it all out, the who, what, why, and how of my footwear.
You know that feeling at the end of the night when the balls of your feet feel like they are bruised and the arch of your foot begs to be rubbed? That's how my feet feel 15 minutes into wearing heels no higher than two inches. When I was younger I went to a podiatrist to try and solve my grandma syndrome. He told me that my ankles sink in, I'm flat footed, and the ball of my foot sinks lower than the rest of my foot. Therefore, every time I take a step I'm rolling out my ankles. Ever roll your ankle out before? Painful, right? Now think about wearing heels with a rolled out ankle. Yea, you'd be in flats too. To all your flat hatters, friends who continue to question my shoe selections, and short people who don't get why at 5'1 I refuse to "get used to" heels...get used to my stylish flats, sensible gladiator sandals, fashionable boots, and dare I say Grandma looking heels, because they are all here to stay. If you doubt me...wear some heels the next time you roll your ankle out, you'll even have my grandma walk, I promise.
Only other person NOT in heels is a guy...standard occurrence.
Courageous, Brave and Determined
