The culprits that caused all my pain...

I have no idea how such a pretty little pair of shoes could have caused so much pain & misery on our recent trip, but they did, right out of the gate. I wound up wearing my cheetah patterned flats every day because they were the only ones I could actually get on my swollen stumps and they hurt the least. Which means I took 6 pairs of shoes I never put on. You can see that I added discreet little footpads, but it was a futile attempt. They killed me in different spots.

However, I was lucky that I could still wear my favorite little bronze flats too, because they were at least dressy enough for my going-out-to-dinner outfits.

I'd show you the cheetah flats, but after that trip, they're more than a bit scruffy looking.

Oh, but the day it turned cold & we went to the beach, I had to stop at a Target on the way and bought a sweatshirt, sweatpants, socks and these little casual tennies. I adore them except for the fact that they're already coming apart after 2 wears.*SIGH* So much for canvas shoes from Target. However, they were cheap & got me through.

You'd think that by my age, I could make wiser decisions about shoes, but I refuse to wear *Nun Shoes* that are ugly, yet good for my feet. Screw that. I'd rather be crippled by cute shoes. Besides, when I'm REALLY OLD & in a wheelchair, it won't matter what's on my feet. Right now, it still matters.
