My name is...and I'm addicted to shoes

I have flat and terribly wide feet. Well, actually only one foot is wide (one of the many gifts that stayed after pregnancy) and I have to wear orthotic foot supports from time to time. But, one thing I can't seem to stay away from, despite my foot situation, are sky high heels and boots. I love them! Nothing can make a woman look and feel sexier than a badd pair of shoes. And I don't care if I have to put cushions and heel protectors in each pair, or that my wear time is only 3-4 hours, because during those few hours, I am fierce.

I try to stop myself. I ask, what would my podiatrist say right now if he saw me bending my non-arched feet in ways they shouldn't go? So I walk away. Then the next thing you know I have a shoe in hand, then on foot, then I'm at the register whipping out my debit card.

So imagine my delight when a co-worker told me about an online site that offers you shoes hand picked to your liking (after a brief survey), for only $40. The only thing about that site is that you can be charged automatically if you don't buy shoes or don't indicate that you want to skip that month. (Didn't find that out till later.) Then I saw a commercial for another site, Shoe Dazzle. It's the same premise, but they don't charge automatically, only when you make a purchase. (At least that has been my experience so far.)

It's been a blessing and a curse to be able to shop online for these fabulous shoes. These are shoes that are not sold in stores, so I get to feel like a diva shopping at a boutique. And even though I don't feel guilty about spending $40 a month on myself, I do feel guilty that my husband's side of the closet is getting smaller and smaller as I inch my way into total take-over.

I will have to deal with the storage issue very soon, but until then, check out the latest pair of shoes.

Jealous?
