Shoes News (It Rhymes)

I think I need a pair of saddle shoes.  I always loved them.  We wore them to school in the 1950's and 60's.  We wore them with our cheerleading outfits in high school.  They were quite foxy back then.

I think I would make a fashion statement at the Walmart.

I loved my saddle shoes.  They looked sharp, but, they were comfortable.  Very, very comfortable.

*******************************

I am going on the quest for a new pair of athletic shoes this week.  I am going to get fitted.  I am going to buy a pair that-- I like.  I enjoy shoes that are comfortable and light.  If my feet are happy, I'm happy.

Graduation is a very stressful time for students and the teachers.  As we would gather in the Monument Room to get ready for the processional, everyone in the graduating class would look somewhat nervous.  As principal, I'd step to the microphone on the podium in front of the kids and ask, "Do you know what is special about today?"  They'd grin and shout, "GRADUATION."  I'd laugh and say, "NO, I have on a pair of high heels today!"  I wore heels one day per year and that was it!  Everyone would howl and get ready to march.

High heel shoes should require a permit for some of us.

I love my Toms, my Fit Flops, my Birkenstocks and my Eccos.

Don't get me wrong.  I love looking at pretty shoes.  I'd love to be able to wear a pair of foxy heels.  I'd just need to pick out my ankle cast before I wore them.  I can't balance.  I've tried.  I might as well get a pair of stilts and just clomp around.  I can list all the high heels I have owned in my entire life on one hand....

***************************

I want my shoes to be functional.  I want to be able to run, jump, crawl, walk, and just generally enjoy life.  I don't want to limp and whine that my feet hurt.  If my feet hurt, I get mean.  If I get mean, watch out, bird.  Honeybadger just won't care!
