How are your feet surviving their torture?

I'm still waiting for my other foot to wash on shore in Canada.

There are two things you shouldn't be cheap with when it comes to everyday living. One is your matress considering you spend an average of 1/3 of your day on it and the other is your shoes.

and if you sleep in your shoes, jesus christ....

I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes, then I met a man who had no feet, and I said to him, "From Canada, eh?"

And I am still scanning the horizon for it, Mimi.

...will slap you upside the head for being silly.

I buy a new pair of flip-flops every few months.

Not to mention once lived in the same house as Ava Gardner and didn't sleep with her.

Hence the ironic tone in my previous post. Did you not hear it?

I didn't hear it, but I was able to read it.

I love flip flops. I bought one pair in black and another in baby blue last week at Old Navy.

I have to wear something on my feet in this house since it's a construction zone. The floors are simply never clean. I also wear flip flops to work. About half the office does. It's not unusual to see one of us in a pretty dress or nice outfit with flip flops on our feet. Haha. Looks funny, but it's what we do. We sit at our desks barefoot most days and when we need to walk down the hall we slip on the old flip flops.

Also, my biggest concern with my feet is scrunching up my toes rather than arch support. My mother wore all the pretty shoes with narrow toe boxes when she was younger and her feet are deformed because of it. But I do loves me some Doc Martens combat boots, and mine have awesome arch support. Those are for winter, though.

Hemingway shot himself because his feet hurt...

I need better shoes. For indoors.

I've had five knee operations - I don't care too much for the whinging my feet may do.

I'm on my feet eight to nine hours a day at work. Standing, walking, climbing ladders, etc...

I hear way more complaints from my knees than I'll ever hear from my feet.

Good luck with that.
...so many choices.

Not here there ain't. And not ones that are good for feet especially. I'll probably have to wait until our next trip to another country somewhere before it's possible to get actually decent shoes, especially considering I have huge feet for the region.

I have freakishly small feet - buying shoes is a beeyotch and a half.

I loves me my flipflops in the summer, though...
