As you well know I have a bit of a shoe fetish.

I came across these interesting/odd shoes.

Two feet on a banana peel.

Do you hate lugging those heavy laundry baskets to the laundromat?

Not to worry - just put your laundry in your shoes and walk on over to the laundromat.

A different kind of a sling back.

Are you coming or going?

You might slip in these slides.

Nothing to say but - cute!

A New Year

A new year means a new calendar.
Daughter Abby always gives me a shoe calendar for Christmas.
It features a different shoe for ever day of the year.

Love this one.
Wish I was young enough to
endure the pain that these would cause.
Look at the height of that heel. Yikes!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.
Other than this little mishap…

ours was picture perfect.
Despite some iffy weather, everyone made it home and back safely.

The annual picture in front of the Christmas tree. (After we set it back up.)

Happy New Year. Here's hoping everything remains upright in your life throughout the year.

From my heart,
Sandy

Therapy

When I'm feeling down. When I'm feeling fat. When I'm bored. I go to my Therapist, endless.com or shoes.com or piperlime.com or zappos.com. The doctor is in 24/7 - no need for an appointment.

This week I received these packages from Endless, they as most of my therapist do, offer free shipping and sometimes free next day air shipping and always free returns. One box had the free next day air shipping shoes and the other had the free 2nd day air shoes - however they both arrived in one day - gotta love it.

Why shoes rock:

• Everyone I know has fat jeans and skinny jeans but nobody has fat shoes and skinny shoes...
No matter what your weight you shoes always fit.

•No matter how ugly the clothes are….
The shoes are always cute.

•Although some colors do not look good against you face…
You can wear most any color on your feet.

•The pants may make your butt look big…
But the shoes will never make you toes look big.

Ten boxes of therapy.

Hey with free shipping why order just a few.

I loved these, however they sent me a 9W

instead of a 6M and they are no longer available in my size. :-(

Okay - but not fond of the gold buckle




I sometimes will sacrifice comfort for cute.

These were boring and not even comfortable





Nothing exciting.




I need a new pair of black sandals.

These did not make the cut.

No cushion on the foot bed.




These are very comfy.

I think I will send them back

and order them in black to replace my shabby black pair.



Don't like the gold eyelets




Very, very cute - in fact my favorite - but too young for me.





For $19.95 how could I pass up these cuties.
Love the polka dot lining.

With such a different but wonderful color combination
how could I pass up these? And only $34.95.

Out of the 10 pair I kept the 2 pair for a total of $54.90. I do believe that is WAY less money then 1 hour in a therapist office.

Shoe therapy - it's the way to go.

Now go do some shoe shopping.

From my heart and my happy feet,

Sandy
