| I've been shooting weddings for over ten years. So have my poor, sore feet. When I first started shooting, I had it all wrong--I showed up for that first job in STYLE, meaning heels and a dress! The way I felt the next day (unable to get off the couch) made me run right out and buy the ugliest most comfortable pair of black shoes I could find, along with several pairs of high waisted black pants. No more teetering on heels and showing my butt crack halfway down the church aisle for me!
I was all about FUNCTION. But I wasn't having any FUN! (**PLUG: for a SHOOTSAC look that's FUN and FUNCTIONAL, check out our CURRENT SALE!! Your bag will show up on your doorstep in a few days with absolutely FREE US shipping!) ANYWAY, back to the story For a number of years, I settled on a pair of Dansko Mary Janes. Still on the wrong side of ugly but on the right side of function. I would call them...acceptable. But honestly, they weren't really my style. I was on the hunt for the PERFECT pair of shoes. One morning before a wedding in 2009, I happened to be out shopping in the little town where my wedding was going to take place that afternoon. I came across the CUTEST pair of orange flats. I thought they were adorable, certainly comfortable in the store, and the perfect pop of color on my otherwise black outfit. 12 hours later, my toes and heels looked like they'd been through a meat grinder. Here's a photo of the hateful shoes from that day: |
| I finally ended up settling for cute flats, but of a different nature. I now wear either Sam Edelman gold flats (mostly THESE) or Kenneth Cole Reaction flats (like THESE. For me, they're the right compromise between FUNCTIONAL and FUN!
BUT I am still on the hunt for the perfect shoe. I would LOVE a shoe with a small heel in a cute style that I could stand in all day. Does such a thing exist?
