“The tides have changed and now I am a 34 year old woman with all the requisite aches and pains of someone who has worn inappropriate footwear for far too long and who has learned that beauty is pain has its limits. Unfortunately, it turns out that its too much to ask of shoes to be Cute and Comfortable.”
I have never felt more understood. This year, when I finally gave in and bought a pair of ballerinas that looked like yours from The Row, I thought what can go wrong? They are flat, the leather is soft. Turns out they put so much pressure on the ball of my foot that I just can’t walk in them. And the list goes on and on. Now I’m turning to second hand shoes in hopes that another human’s suffering might alleviate mine.
Me and my swollen feet thank you for your service 🫡😌
Thank you!!!
