I’ve spent the last two and half years only wearing shoes with a four inch heel or more - being only 5ft 2 and a bit (the bit is very important) the extra 4 inchs of height are essential - they allow me to actually appear in other people’s line of sight, which is some what useful when having a conversation, finding people in a crowded street/pub/shop, not getting stamped on or being ignored.

However the crippling effect of the new shoes I’ve bought recently (but they are so *pretty*) meant that before I could even consider spending a day walking the city with Boy, I absolutely had to buy new shoes that I could walk in for longer than 10mins without ending up in agony (the agony shoes will be fine for sitting around the office at work, and for going out drinking in when I’ll have gin to numb the pain, obv). So one day last week I found myself not only considering buying shoes that didn’t have a four inch heel, but shoes that were flat, shoes that were in fact trainers. Yes dear readers, trainers.

One trip to Sketchers later (Me - but they are all flat, I don’t like them!; Boy - /rolls eyes) and I was sitting on a bench on Oxford Street changing my gorgeous new shoes for a brand new pair of red sketchers. And you know what, I think I like them. The world may be a much taller place without those extra four inches, and I may not be able to stamp on commuters who piss me off quite so effectively but I can walk for miles without tearing my feet to shreds, and they do look quite cute sticking out from my, now too long, jeans (all of my clothes in the past three years have been bought on the understanding that I’ll be at least 4 inches taller when I wear them). Yes, I think like them but, of course I’ll be wearing the agony shoes to work tomorrow.

Wishing: you all a happy easter
Eating: too much chocolate
Listening to: Kasabian, Reason is Treason
