Week 07 - Shoes I Want to Wear Again

We’ve all experienced a lot of lifestyle changes over the last year and as time goes by and this thing drags on I often find myself dreaming about the things I miss.

I think for all of us the first and most important thing on our list is family and friends but the list is long and probably different for each person.

I’ve missed live music, theatre, cinema, the pub, weekends away, holidays, parties, dancing, eating out and getting dressed up to go somewhere nice.

I have spent most of the last year wearing my “scruffies” (casual clothes), wearing hardly any make-up, and walking around in my “granny grumps” (slippers) , my “flat & comfies” (trainers and walking shoes) or my wellies! Having walked more miles in the last year than I had probably walked in the rest of my life and through the muddiest of places, these shoes have had a hard ride. They are worn out, dirty and sad!

I’m longing for the opportunity to wear my heels again – my party shoes, my dancing shoes.

Although I know I will be desperate to take most of them off by the end of the evening and will probably be hobbling on the way home, I have missed my “nice” shoes. Sore toes and aching bunions aside, nice shoes make you feel good!

So this week I have put together a panel of my favourite shoes. Shoes that haven’t seen the light of day for at least 10 months and needed a duster!

And it goes without saying that this is but a small selection of the many pairs of shoes hidden away in the wardrobe that I haven’t worn in a long time!!

And then there are the “flat and comfies” and wellies!! Ugly but useful!
