No, sorry, my shoes are not on the loose. They were falling off my feet when I walked. They were all too loose! Two weeks into this naked eating and my feet have changed Evidently there is something to this salt/water retention theory.
The thought of my shoes getting too big terrifies me. I hate shoe shopping. No, really, I hate it. I sit down in a chair at a shoe store and I am Cinderella's ugly step-sister. I wear an 11 or 11.5 WW with a high instep. Many a shoe salesman has broken a sweat trying to jam my toes into a beautiful shoe. After all the strain and humiliation, I might have a choice between 4 pair of shoes in stock. The best I can hope for is to find something I like and order it in my size and color. Two weeks later I will have my shoes. If I'm lucky. When a pair gets too shoddy to wear anymore I mourn for two reasons: first that I have lost dear friends and second because I have to go shopping. I can't just sashay into DSW and find something on the rack, no, I have to order them and pay premium prices. When I do find a shoe which fits and is comfortable (notice I said nothing about stylish) I order them in all the colors. My LaPlumes in this photo come in 42 colors; I have them in 10.
With winter approaching and the need to cover my toes coming fast, I dread my next shoe shopping trip.
Winter in Alameda? Loose shoes? the solution is simple.... THICK WARM SOCKS! In a myriad of colors! even socks with the toes! a RAINBOW of socks! THICK socks will make your shoes fit better as you continue down your Naked Path! THICK socks will keep your tootsies warm!
