If you have ever been pregnant I’m sure you know all about the swollen feet. Well, I’ve had my share in the heat, but now that it’s cold I was kind of hoping they would go back to normal, but no such luck. I’ve tried it all, keeping them elevated on the coffee table, soaking them in warm water and Epsom salts, pretty much anything but staying off them which I think works the best.
The other night it was very obvious, my niece, who is 3 years old was visiting, and I noticed our feet were shaped the very same way. Yup, I’ve got chubby little toddler feet that don’t fit into any of my shoes. Flip flops were fine up until now, but after some 60° days, I realized I need some different shoes, something to keep my little sausage toes warm! I also knew that my days of bending over to tie a pair of shoes were over. I haven’t been able to paint my toe nails for weeks so I knew laces were out of the question. But I didn’t want to spend a lot considering I’d only wear them for a few more months before my feet go back to normal and they wouldn’t fit anymore.
So with this criterion I went shopping and this is what I found. So here I am. No more sexy heels, cowboy boots, or knee highs for me. They are slip on and the fact that depending on how swollen my feet are they are adjustable with handy dandy Velcro strap makes them a sensible choice. But I still can’t say I love them. A co-worker said they were very “Mary Jane” which if you know my obsession with the magazine you would know I took this as a compliment, but I still can’t help thinking how frumpy they look. Let me know what you think. Frumpy or cute…..
