So to stay current, I decided to buy a new shoe yesterday.
And by shoe, I don't mean 'pair'.
I mean SHOE. Singular.
See, I'm not big on buying expensive shoes. Unless they're running shoes. Or pointe shoes for 2 of 8. And then we're still gonna reign in the cost, because at last count, busy little cobblers needed to shoe 20 feet in this house. So we believe in getting good value for our shoe dollar.
Not that I don't love expensive shoes, mind you. Hey, I watch "What Not To Wear." I have an idea of what really amazing, cool, designer shoes look like. I've seen 'em. I just don't buy 'em.
Until yesterday.
And then I saw this little number that I just had.to.have. It goes with everything. It can be worn endlessly for weeks at a time. It can be completely custom-fitted for its wearer. And many hours of design have gone into this baby.
Behold.....
I know. Breathtaking, right?
Doesn't it just totally go with that outfit?
And can you even believe it? We got this little beauty for a mere $260. I know! What a steal! (Our insurance company wagered a little discount for us--they're so sweet like that...) I think it has such a retro Star Wars feel, don't you? Apparently all the girls with tarsal coalition wear 'em (I included the medical link on that whole tarsal coalition thing, because it apparently is not some ancient treaty between the Tartars and the Mongols of ancient Asia....)
Rockin' the Walking Cast,
Oh, I want one! I think it would look great with my new jeans! Truly eye-catching. :o)
ReplyDelete4 of 8 is so adorable! I just want to give her {{hugs}}. I hope this stylish shoe (and that possible surgery) fix her up good as new and take care of the problems she's been having.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!!

Oh my goodness! What a shoe! You are too funny!
ReplyDeleteSteph
That is a true beauty!
ReplyDeleteIt is so stylish and will go with everything. And it really spans the seasons well too. Good choice.
ReplyDeleteThe only possible problem I can see is the jealousy of the other siblings!
ReplyDeleteI've got to stop reading your posts during Ky's naps-- I woke her again!
ReplyDeleteCan you get these with a bigger heel?
Oh geez Octamom. What a pain in the...foot. I am guessing M keeps coaching that soccer team even though his kid isn't playing? Ugh. And my 2 is sure gonna be sad for her friend.
ReplyDeletelove love ~kc
I didn't know it was possible to make buying a walking cast sound so cool! :) Oh, I finally published my Monday's prompt post.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is, it's a good thing you didn't have to buy a pair of these shoes. Wow, I can't believe how much it cost!
ReplyDeleteShe makes it look good, though. :)
Ouch! In more ways than one!
ReplyDeleteHope she heals up quickly and your wallet too :)
We had two broken bones last year (and not even on the same kid so we paid the deductible on both of them) they're not cheap.
I've never had a pair of shoes cost more than $80 I think--I'm rather practical that way. And in my mind I really don't allow for inflation. When I was a teen $70 was a lot for a pair of dress shoes so somehow that's still kind of the limit in my mind.
Love how she is workin' it. (and when you spend that much for a single shoe, you gotta work it!) Hope all heals (heels? ;) ) well --and soon.
ReplyDeletePoor thing! Looks like she's upbeat about it though. Make sure you give her plenty of *hugs*!
ReplyDeleteAnd just so you know, everytime I read your blog my 2 year old starts asking me, "What's wrong, Mommy?" because I'm giggling so hard! lol
I love your funny, positive attitude. Your kids are lucky to have such a great role model. :o) Blessings, Whitney
ReplyDeleteWow a steal at that price.you know i bet you coulda got a pink one! LOL
ReplyDeleteHow long is she intending to wear her new accessory? Hope all heals well or goes to Doctors plan!
Take care
hugs
Gill.
It's nice to see her smiling while wearing it. She seems to take it in stride, which is a testament to your parenting skills. :)
ReplyDeleteWhere can I get my hands on one of those little beauties? I just know it might come in handy to get me out of a few chores around here!
ReplyDeleteOh- and your insurance company is so generous! Only $260? I'd pay twice that for that little glass slipper, so divine!
Aww at least she looks happy to be wearing it. I know if it were me I probably wouldn't look so happy.
ReplyDeleteThat girl can pull it off! What a beauty!
ReplyDeleteI love me some boots! I was prone to stress fractures so I remember the fall boot collection. :)
Retro Star Wars feel. Nice!!!
ReplyDeleteSo, she was born with this but it's now worsening as she matures?
Well Four looks darling no matter what shoes she's sportin'!
ReplyDeleteYep, that's quite A shoe!! TWO shoes have never cost me that much...crazy!!
ReplyDeleteWow! How did you figure out she had that? How long will she be sportin her new shoe?? Tell her she looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteOh wow...I should be offering sympathies but I'm too busy laughing at what a clever introduction that was!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by and leaving that sweet comment yesterday - it meant a lot. Seriously.
Poor thing - but you had me laughing. Hope she does not have to wear it for to long.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I wish I could have shoe like that!
ReplyDeleteToo funny. Hope things heal up quickly though.
ReplyDeleteWow--a girl can dream--Right?!
ReplyDeleteSWEEEEEEEET.
ReplyDeleteyou think I could run my marathon in something like that?
(poor baby)
Well thank 4 of 8's lucky stars that it isn't the early '90s because tight rolling a pair of tapered jeans over that galosh would take eons.
ReplyDeleteI had a similar "shoe" that came up to my right knee. And with all that sass and glamour, it still didn't get me to the front of the line at Disney. Go figure!
ReplyDeleteRoban
It might double up as a ski later on .....
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! She did have something! She can tell me all about it on Monday!
ReplyDeleteWow, in this case, I'm glad it's only one. I hope she heals soon.
