Shoe Avalanche

Okay yes I know I have too many shoes but my shoe cupboard it one of my biggest charity shop bargains. Costing only a fiver it's great for stashing heaps of pairs that don't always get a regular wearing. The problem being shoes can get hidden and forgotten at the back.

I've been having foot problems this week, its kind of an occupational hazard. Playing shopkeeper means you spend a lot of time on your feet and it only takes a wrong pair of shoes to leave you in agony. Well I can't say I've been wearing heels (impossible in Afflecks with its rickety and holey floorboards) but I've been wearing my Converse loads and they're just too flat. I've had problems with my feet before, I used to be a titchy size 3 1/2 to 4 but after a year of pain they eventually grew a size. So now the same pain has come back - does this mean they're growing more or shrinking back?

So last time I had trouble I was given a pair of special inserts to support my (very high) arches and stop my feet moving around too much - the only trouble is I can't remember what shoes they are in - hence the shoe mountain. I didn't find them though - I'm going to have to find that bag of shoes in the loft ....

What I did discover though is one of my favourite pair of trainers - my baby pink Pro Keds. I bought these in Australia and fell in love buying them even though they are only a size 3. Even though they are a bit on the tight side they are actually quite good for my feet as they have a thicker sole than Converse with built in arch supports - yay! Found my new summer shoes and didn't need to spend a penny!
