if the shoe fits

try walking a mile in it. okay, half a mile. the you'll see how well it really fits.

i made the idiotic mistake of wearing heels to work today. you may not think that's such a big deal, but if you had to walk half a kilometer to your office, you'd understand what i mean. i thought my shoes were nicely "broken in" and comfortable enough already. now i have this weird blister in smack in the middle of the ball of my right foot. my mom and my older sister have it, also. i used to wonder how they got it (they didn't know, either.) now i have unlocked one of the world's greatest mysteries. blisters from ill-fitting, high-heeled shoes. those shoe-makers and designers have a thing or two to learn about ergonomics.

i've still got old blisters from a different pair of footwear (wedges, to be exact). upon examination of my poor foot, i realized my wedge-blisters were almost healed. almost. because i made another mistake of running in them last night. so when i was absent-mindedly peeling my blister (okay, i know, info overload. but just for the record, i was alone in the office then) i realized there was yet another blister forming underneath the new skin. of course, i already exposed the raw skin by then. ouch. multiple injuries by heinous footwear.

i just might take a cab on the way back later. and i'm definitely wearing sneakers to work tomorrow.
