Comment: Hot for Shoes

I spent too much time yesterday participating in my embarrassing online addiction: Shoe porn.

Yes, September is upon us and that means back to school. Back to school for both kids means I’ve looking to get back to school, too (to work, not study).

School: it starts with an S, and that stands for SHOES. Oh we got trouble all right.

I don’t have time to go shoe shopping, except late at night, online. That’s when I pop up the shoe porn. Galleries of shoes, high heels, low heels, mules, sandals. I love looking at them, and Zappos is my drug of choice. I love how you can get close ups and different angles of the shoe, and I love that they can narrow down what’s actually available in my (enormous, boat-like) shoe size. And the returns and deliveries are free. Who could resist such a thing?

And I just really love shoes. I don’t own a ton of them, and I don’t have any high end fetish, but there are a few brands that I really love and/or lust after.

I can’t walk on high heels, even though some of them are so smokin’ hot I wish I could handle them. But I’m a small person trapped in a tall person’s body. Isn’t that a nice euphemism? I just don’t always know how far my limbs extend until I bump into something. I’d have at least one sprained ankle within the hour.

So not only is back to school a great opportunity to buy shoes. But get this: we just moved to a much colder climate. You know what that means, don’t you?

Boots.

Lovely, luscious, sassy boots.

My mouse finger is going to get such a workout in the days ahead.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have an addiction to feed.
