Recap On Rainy Days VS Shoes
I wear a size 8.
That is usually the largest lady's shoe size in the shoe departmental stores in Singapore. Seldom do I see a size 9.
I cld wear a size 7 at times, usually in da form of those opened-toes sandals.
Herring styled sandals are not for meh. Cos I hv very broad splay of toes & they simply look unattractive & unlady-like in herring-styled sandals.
Those opened-toes shoes wif just a band of fabric or leather (or watever) across for support are more suited for meh. They kinda bind my wide splay of toes together but I hv a prob wif these too on heels...
Everyone shd somehow know wat heels do to a lady.

They put strain on your spine, force you to stand tall by making you push out your breasts & strut out your butts. And when you walk, an inevitable jiggle that never fails to help brighten up a guy's dull day...
It is often quoted: "The mere sight of a female in high heels often brings joy to boys/men."
=.=''
But though I'm not really plump (I look kinda slim in fact), the reason why I weigh heavier than I look I guess, is due to the density of my bone mass.
And it is this weight plus dat I hv sweaty feet at times dat caused meh da most trouble when wearing opened-toes heels, esp. those wif a mere strap at da front of heel to support your whole foot (& body amazingly).
Last Friday afternoon was a rainy day. I was wearing this pair of platforms & rushing off to fetch my boy fr school. The rain was making my feet slippery & threatening to fling out my shoes as I run/walk. Almost half of the episode dat I was trying to rush, I was almost sure that one of my feet wld SLIP THRU' (literally) that lil wee filmsy pc of strap & BURST da ONLY support dat bound me to da shoe.
I ended up walking more gingerly but less graciously than Sayuri in da "Memoirs of a Geisha"
:S What a horrible feeling but I had to endure this countlessly. How many shoes out there for women are as presentable & convenient as a pair of slip-on platforms/heels? You can't wear slippers for work for god's sake!
And as I tend to break out in sweat for my feet, I would avoid enclosed shoes if I hv the choice to avoid smelly & sore feet at da end of the day.
The best pair of footwear I had was fr my EHTB (ex-husband-to-be in short). It was a pair of sky-blue strapped sandals (wif a slight platform) dat he had bought for me (explanation: he paid but using my money & I was together wif him). Very comfy & yet lady-like. Best of all, simple yet presentable enuff for casual outdoor wear (matches well wif jeans or skirts =) ). Becos it was a pair of REAL sandals (those that strap you ard ur ankles), I cld even run in them safely without fear of re-enacting Cinderella escaping da ballroom scene.
Runner-up for ease & beauty (more sporty-looking than beautiful-looking at all) wld be my Bata pair of black sandals wif elastic straps dat I just managed to wear out early this year (due to me carrying da heavy bag of things in da rain & putting the load on my sandals for support, if not... oh well). Flatted with a rubbery base & in a classic black color. It isn't exactly lady-like at all but it had a nice criss-cross of straps on your foot for design & support, & with the ease of walking it provide & the comfort of it, you cldn't very much ask for anything else. It looks a tad outta place when I wear it wif office pencil-slim skirts & just mgned to make itself insignificant (not out-standing, not smart-looking) enuff under my office pants (well, if da pants is long enuff, else it'll look odd too).
Cos you know... I aint abt to don on wellington boots for rainy days.
Meanwhile, so long if it doesn't rain, this pair of platform shoes dat I hv currently works fine, though I really hate to admit dat I almost trip off them on & off. I am dat much of a clumsy elephant at times...
