bot 3 pairs of shoes in a row over the last weekend....woah...record...a pair of heels frm charles n keith (my ferst-ever pair frm the supposedly-most-popular chain store in spore), a pair of white floral printed shoes frm far east (i haf a feeling it's not gonna last long cos it hurts a lil), and a pair of teva slippers dat was on sale at world of sports....i had no reason fer buying shoes, not to mention three pairs....i wldn't sae i bot them on impulse....but i just wanted to kip dem as my shoes come n go very fast...
i realise i've been buying quite a number of shoes ever since i started werking...tho i dun wear all of them to werk...apart from the old shoes dat are spoilt, there r others where i buy fer the sake of buying, haf to admit some r on impulse...but most imptly is to find one dat fits my feet...or shld it b the other wae round...hoping i could find one pair my feet can accommodate...it's a tuff job....
there were times where the shoes just look so pritty...n while i tried dem on they do hurt a little...i still bot them...one was my pink peep-toe shoes...it was nice...so i told myself...i'm gg to get used to it...my feet sure can tahan...the ferst time i wore it out...i got blisters at the back of my feet....the second time i wore it wif fear...but i told myself...it's 'season' oreadi...so wun hurt dat much....but it still did...more blisters....the third time i wore it was long after i healed from the blisters...dat was the last straw....i got hurt so much dat my feet became numb n each step i walked in pain....
long time ago i bot a pair of brown heels..i guess dat pair of heels was one of the longest lasting pair of heels i had....loved dem so much....but dey gave wae when i tried walking the whole stretch of bugis n orchard....my feet could not take it after dat man....
den there was oso my pair of yellow heels where i just bot not long ago and am still wearing dem to werk now....i had blisters so jialat dat the skin came off...the marks r still there...dunno when dey'll heal....was persuaded by the salesperson dat it was comfortable n looks good on me...was impressed wif the good service too...dey were comfortable til i wore them fer long dist....still trying to get used to them...so i wear them to werk everydae....dey r quite noisy tho...can hear my footsteps frm a dist awae....hee...
sports shoes r by rite the most comfy...but i used to haf one during my jc daes dat realli squashed my toes till i haf to cramp my toes....now dat i dun get to wear them animore....i do feel sad fer it....dey were thrown awae cos they get spoilt when i dun wear them....wad kinda logic is dat...duhz....shoes oso r attention-seeking huh....
there r shoes where i haf neva worn dem before...or onli wore a few times....somehow dey just dun go wif all occasions...so too bad....left on the shoe rack in some boxes...totally fergotten...
sometimes i wonder y i haf to bear wif all the pain....partly becos of my vanity nature...partly cos i wanna make my money worth....but mabbe oso becos i haf feelings fer it after i bot them...i'm not the kind hoo'll buy this pair of black shoes to match this pair of black dress etc....it's kinda restricted in usage if dat's the case....my shoes shld b versatile...dat's y getting a pair of shoes is difficult fer me....i tink too much....too mani factors to pull in....even in buying shoes....haa....dat's me man...the kinda shoes i go fer alwiz revolve arnd the same design or color or style...dat restricts my choices more...i gathered i haf quite a number of white shoes...cos i look bad in black...some of them r quite swit-looking...cos i'm trying to act swit but in the meantime gritting my teeth while i walk.....i used to alwiz consider the price n the 'slipperi-ness'...n i realise these two factors do not have a positive correlation....the higher the price doesn't mean it is non-slippery or pressure-resistant...cos i do weigh quite a lot...
i used to complain quite a lot to my parents bout the shoes i buy...my dad wld sae..."everytime oso hear ur shoes wear oreadi pain...or slippery til make u fall..." well, it's true.....it's not ez to find a pair dat fits....n even if it does....it mite not last fer a lifetime....does it mean i haf to get a dozen of dat same pair of shoes....mabbe in different colors?? ridiculous rite....
wad i wanna sae is dat a simple task like buying shoes can b so tiring...when you find a pair that fits...buy dem....meantime, dun neglect the pair dat u've alwiz been wearing...cos u nid dat pair to shop arnd fer THE pair....haa...dun get it? in short, treasure all those around u....but at the same time, look out fer THE one...some may look attractive...but u may end up getting hurt....some r comfortable to b wif....but may not last as long as u expect dem to b....personally, i'm one hoo can endure quite a bit...but there's alwiz a threshold fer pain...once exceeded, dat's it....
conclusion: u onli noe whether it fits if you try....onli when u try wearing the shoes out will u get the sensation of pain or comfort....merely trying out at the shop isn't an accurate measure....the same goes in life....this goes out esp to all my frens hoo r in a dilemma...(^.<)v
