Last neurotic post: skinnies and booties problem (example)

catgirl

I think I overpronate when I stand (just like when I run), so my ankle is not centered in the boot and looks weirdly detached. Am I neurotic or does this bother anyone else? Solutions?

LOL! Neurotic much? I think I do the same and it doesn't bother me as long as I can walk!

ETA: All joking aside, I don't think anyone would notice.

ETAA: I love these posts. You crack me up.

HAHA! The ULTIMATE first world problem... "my feet aren't centered in my high fashion footwear". Ugh, I'm going to sleep.

Ok, now you are being certifiably neurotic. =P Nobody is staring at your ankles anyway! And how often do you just stand there posing?

By the way, this look from Gap is what I was talking about in your other thread with the cute socks peeking out.

It would bother me if it happen to me.
In you I wouldn't notice you if didn't tell.

ETA: Probably I should also go to sleep.

I overpronate, too, but y'all have never noticed, and that's good enough for me! If anyone is looking that closely at my ankles, I'm thinking they either like my shoes or have a foot fetish... o_0

Okay, I'm officially neurotic. That is what 11 straight days of work will do to a person... But I can't unsee it! Must... Not... Obsess....

You will very rarely be standing perfectly still, so don't worry about it! I hope your upcoming break fixes things

You're not alone, Una!
I've noticed the same thing in some of my own pictures- even when I'm not wearing boots. In pictures with skinny jeans scrunched at the ankle sometimes it looks like someone cut my foot off and stuck it back on funny!
I swear it doesn't look like that in real life, and I'm quite sure yours doesn't either. It must be partly the camera angle.

No worries- get some rest!

my running coach says something like 60% of people pronate. ....so if you are being neurotic, you have company

I'm an overpronator

But wow, you got some massive attention to detail! My boots actually do that too

K. Period.

Hahaaaaaaha! I didn't see this until just now! Between Kelly and you, Una, (and Celia too) I was rolling, tea snorted out of my nose, too funny! I would never, ever have noticed. Ever. And now that I can't un-notice that...well...no...I still don't care.

This is what is called over -analysis to death!

On the other hand I hate myself in ballet flats because one of my feet has a weird angle in them. I don't know if this is over-pronation or something else but I eliminated all ballet flats now! Interestingly I can see it in the pictures but not IRL...this would be a negative angle of self-picture taking, right?

I guess I am on the neurotic team too...

OMGoodness, you are all too funny! Between Sveta's angled foot and Una's detached ankle, I feel like I'm on the island of misfit toys, LOL! Una, I've been staring at your ankles for 5 minutes now trying to figure out if they look detached - I think I need to go to sleep (they look fine in your shoes, by the way).

LOL!

I supinate like crazy -- the outside edges of my running shoes get wrecked, but only on the left side. I figure if you all haven't noticed that my feet are always rolled out, I guess it's ok. Una, your feet look fine!

Oh wow, I needed a laugh! This reminded me of a saying my mother had: "I complained I had no shoes until I saw a person with no feet".

By the way I'm pretty sure I pronate like this too, plus my foot is so flat it's like a pancake. This is why I can't wear d'orsay shoes - they have an opening right where the pancake happens so it just all spills out. Ugh.
No photos, sorry (not really).

Okay, on a bit more sleep, this thread is making ME laugh! Sveta, your picture and mine need to be BFFs!

All I really care about is that my hair is the EXACT same length on both sides. If it's not, there's gonna be trouble...

Actually, many of us wear boots and flats like you and Sveta, Una. It's all good.

I think you need to keep these super skinnies for tall boots, and wear straight legs or slouchy skinnies with booties.
