You're Beautiful - new shoes

There is something so tactile and emotional about choosing and buying new shoes. I have small feet but they are very painful - a combination of extremely weak ligaments due to injury and debilitating plantar fasciiitis. So I look longingly at the pretty pumps and sandals, knowing I cannot possibly wear them comfortably for more the twenty minutes, and I certainly couldn't walk any distance in them! I hadn't intended to buy new shoes yesterday, and I actually went into the shoe shop to try on some sensible Ecco trainers. They were horrible, with no support for my floppy ligaments. And then I saw these. These things of beauty. These beautiful purple Fitflops. I have found that Fitslops are perfect for all my foot problems. I can't really say they do anything for my bum shape, but I can wear them all day. Yeah for warm weather, yeah for purple Fitflops. You're Beautiful!
