Now I am not a fashionista, by any stretch of the imagination, but there were just some certain things that I was always convinced I would never wear.
.
Things like an entire denim outfit, or Dr. Martin knee high lace up boots (or any over the knee boot for that matter). Those are pretty extreme cases, but I also never thought I would be one of those people who wears the Sketchers Shape-Ups. (Many apologies if you are counted in that group). I just thought they looked a little hokey and maybe it was just all in your mind that they really felt good to wear or that they really worked etc, etc.
.
While at a Shape-Up wearing friends house today, I threw on her Shape-Up sandals to make a quick trip outside. Once I had both feet inside I stopped dead in my tracks. THEY FELT AMAZING. Like I was walking on pillows, like my feet were lighter than air. She wears the same size as me and I momentarily entertained the thought of slipping them in my diaper bag to take them home.
.
I exclaimed to the kids how glorious my feet felt. What joy! What podiatry bliss! How have I gone this long without experience such waltzing happiness!
.
No matter what my earlier opinions of fashion were (as ridiculous and they may be) I WILL be taking myself to the nearest Sketchers outlet ASAP to join the ranks of Shape-Up wearing women! If you have not experienced the glory of wearing such fine shoes, I urge you to go and try some on today!
