These boots were NOT made for walking.

Yesterday, I wore my beloved pair of riding boots to QA class since they make me feel like a million bucks (Yes, I just said that). I love the smell and feel of the leather and also how skinny they make my legs appear. They're just gorgeous, gorgeous boots.

Anyway.

I was walking the standard 20-25 minutes to campus when my heels started to hurt.

No! I thought despairingly. I can't be getting...

Blisters.

Really, really awful blisters. They were so painful. All I wanted to do with take off my boots, but I had to keep walking and try to maintain looking fabulous.

Once I finally arrived at class, I immediately took out my phone and began desperately texting friends who lived around campus.

My feet were throbbing. If no one could drive me home, I was prepared to call a taxi cab.

Lucky for me, my knight in a shining Camry (more commonly known as my best friend, Ben), arrived after QA class and drove me home.
My best friend and savior
I pulled off my my boots the second I got into his car and yearned for a pair of innocent flats. They may not make my legs look as thin, but I think I'll be choosing comfort over fashion for a while.

  1. I hate when that happens! We ladies need shoes, but why must men design them so? There are special Band-Aids made specifically for blister issues, and they work. I've used them.

  2. Aww, I know exactly how that feels and I hate it! Why is that, that the shoes that make us feel the most beautiful and fabulous, are those who make us suffer the worst?

  3. I have found the only thing that helps (besides alcohol to numb the feet) are inserts...call me old lady, but they help in heels! Fashion before function. You should keep a pair of the fold up flats in your bag!! Hope your feetsies are okay!!
