Summer of Shoes

July 23, 2013

I have terrible ankles. I have more medical supplies than the average 23 year old. I own a bulky black walking boot, two air casts and at least 2 lace ankle braces. Plus a million Ace bandages and this thing called Muellers Wonder Wrap (which is amazing and I think everyone should buy one).

Because of that, shoes are really important to me. I need something that doesn't make me flinch at the thought of rolling my ankles in them. I also need shoes to commute in because I WEAR my shoes. Just 2 weeks ago I had to buy inserts for my shoes because I wore a hole in the sole walking around New York. 

So this summer has seen a lot of shoes as I get ready to start a new job in a new city. A city, which undoubtedly, I will be doing a lot more walking and in all types of weather. At least that is what I tell myself because I have bought a whole lot of shoes in the past 60 days. 

Not pictured are a pair of Cole Haan + Nike Air wedges and some thrifted shoes I had to toss after one use. 

Top L to R: Clarks, Report, Forever 21, thrifted Khombu
Bottom L to R: Crocs, Coconuts, Topshop

Some are fun, some are functional, and some are really damn cute. All of these should be able to prepare me for walking up and down disgusting subway stairs. At least I hope so. Because I NEVER in a million years thought I would own Crocs but its like walking on god damn clouds

But my most valuable pair of shoes will be my tennis shoes because I need to start physical therapy for my ankles. I want this to be the year I DO SOMETHING about it. 

What concerns/issues do you have that dictate the type of clothes you purchase?
