On my recent WIW, I lamented a tiny bit about the shoe issue. I have found the last few years that heels cause pain in the larger joint on one of my feet. The result is that I have been wearing flats or slightly clunky wedges with everything and it isn't the best look for my thickening 50's shape.

This week, I dug into the upper area of my closet where there are many semi-clear boxes with shoes (many are empty due to purging) and found a few that I still like. I wore a pair with medium heels but could feel a slight ache almost immediately. I remembered rummaging my glove box looking for the papers from when I leased my car and finding a pair of foot petals. I bought them ages ago and then forgot to try them out. I stuck a pair in the shoes when I got to the office and was amazed at the difference. I wore the shoes all day and my feet felt fine. I have worn similar heel heights in the last year that caused an achy foot for as long as two days after. I am kicking myself for not trying them sooner.

For anyone who is having foot issues that sound similar, I would recommend you try these before purging all your pretties.
