Shoes!!!

I have a love/hate relationship with shoes. I love to look at them, to shop for them, to talk about them. I cannot stand wearing them.

I’m a flip flop kinda girl and will wear them at all times of the year, whether they’re appropriate or not. But on my most recent trip to Virginia, I went shopping with my parents, who are shoe-shopping ninjas. I’m not kidding. They’re good!

Usually I don’t like tennis shoes. Too much tying and whatnot. But I found two pairs that made my heart go pitter patter.

First up, my Roos. God I love these. Aren’t they pretty?! My Dad, ever the detailed shopper, found them for me at this little shoe store in Virginia Beach. They were $22 bucks, down from an original price of $55. SCORE! These suckers are surprisingly comfortable, too.

These are from the same store. Rocket Dog has never let me down. The only shortfall with these is that they’re slightly bigger than I need (I tried going down a half size, but it squished my toes), so I had to get some blister guards. But they’re so cute and otherwise comfy that it’s well worth it. Oh, and these were like $10.

I just got these from FedEx today. Who knew they delivered on Saturday? Anyway, I saw these at the NEX at Oceania and wanted them desperately, but alas, they did not have my size. Nor did the NEX at Little Creek. So on a lark I went to Skechers Web site, and there they were on sale and with free shipping. Hells to the yea!

The moral of the story is, I suppose, that I only like tennis shoes that are unique and don’t look all that much like tennis shoes. Much like the Pumas I’m currently coveting. However, flip flops still can’t be beat, and, frankly, barefoot is the best thing ever!
