I am a singer, I often perform in various types of ensembles.The best way to get a rolled side eye from me is to give a dress code for an event and say no flats.The worst thing is standing on a stage trying to put my best foot forward, only to have my feet send signals of pain to my brain. I hate when beads of sweat glaze my face, not from the stage lights, but from the tingly sensation of toes numbing. Even in solo performances, especially those requiring formal attire the soaring of my voice has to compete with the soreness of my feet.
Let's be perfectly clear, I don't hate heels! I hate how they make my calves feel like they are on a stretching mechanism, and the balls of my feet feel like I've been tap dancing with jazz hands on hot coals. Even still, I'd GIVE to be able to wear a 6 inch heeled work of art, but I literally can't stand it.
To make matters worse, a few years back, I worked as a shoe sales person.During that period I accumulated some great shoes, fantastic heels that I hardly wear. Two years of standing long hours on a carpeted concrete floor did nothing for my already bad feet, except drop the very small arches I did have.
So, yes in my day to day, 9.9 out of ten times you'll see me in my "flatty tatties", but make no mistake they will be fabulous. When I get flattered, I look for Patterns, Colors, and Sparkle! Here are some of my favorite flats, and a single wedge when I want a little lift.
