It is once again time of CorpGoth's Mid-Month Status Report! This time the task is to show our work shoes, meaning the ones we use everyday due to the realities of walking long distances or dress code or other reasons. You can find other participants from here, go check their shoes too!
I live in a cold and bleak city, where is snow and hale and slush snow, and they can change from one to the other within a week. For the last six months I've been walking to the university or to the shops and other places, because it was just two kilometers from my old flat. This means that I walked from 4 to 8 kilometers daily, so the shoes had to be comfortable.
One can clearly see, that those shoes are used and the surface is slightly damaged. They have served me well, but I hope I find better ones before winter comes back and buries me into her cold whiteness again.
Now that I live 400 meters away from the university, I shall be able to use more high heals. Also, the spring is coming, so soon I do not need to worry about snow and icy roads anymore. These boots are lovely, but there is one slight problem. I found them at a flea market and they are one size too big for me. Therefore my ankles start to hurt, if I walk with them too long. I shall try to figure some way to make them more my size, so that I can wear them as "work shoes". I wonder if somewhere they sell some sort of ankle support thingies I could wear inside the shoe.
Fabulous shoes! I especially love the second pair. Shame they are a bit too big. I usually go for thick socks and a thick insole in such cases. Hope you can find a way to make them work, because they are just about the coolest boots ever!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I do love the second pair too. :) Also thanks for the tip, I shall try to find some insoles!
DeleteI can second the thick sock idea...maybe you live so far up north that it's still pretty cold in the spring? cotton balls and a thick insole might also work too.
ReplyDeleteSo, the cotton balls are like just fabric one shoves in to the end of the shoe, or? The socks help a little, but some stuffing could work even better. :)
DeleteI'm liking those lace-up boots. They look so comfy and warm, and so very loved! :o)
ReplyDeleteWell, they are warm. Actually so worm, that if it is warmer than -15 Celsius, feet start to feel too warm, they get sweaty and that means they get damp and therefore cold. D: BUt still quite comfy, if the weather is right! :D
