Want to hear a story?
I was born with an extreme case of club feet. Not only were they turned in, but they were backwards and also upside down. Terrifying? Absolutely. In the Middle Ages, I would have been immediately killed for being a demon. Of this, I am sure.
To make a long story short, the bones of both of my feet look like a huge mishmash of God knows what. From the outside, my feet look fine (other than the massive scarring from multiple surgeries), but take a look at the x-ray and you'll see quite a different story. I basically have arthritis, because my bones rub against each other all blessed day long. So it hurts. A lot.
But there's more.
My right foot is almost an inch and a half smaller than my left. You heard it right! My feet aren't even close to being the same size. I know that most people do not have matching sized feet, but mine are not even in the same country.
Thus, the shoe shopping nightmare begins.
If I hated shoes, or I didn't like heels, this wouldn't be an issue. But alas! I've been struck by the shoe God's and I must accept my fate. Searching for multiple hours to find a single pair of shoes is not unheard of. And if I like them, they won't fit. Or if they do fit (a minor miracle of the shoe Gods), they're uncomfortable and I can't wear them for much longer than 10 minutes.
The cruel irony of my life, dear readers. But I press on to find those perfectly shaped, sexy, flirty, fitting, and even comfortable shoes. I know they're out there somewhere.
I will not lose heart!
