Well

...apparently my unfeminine lack of a shoe fetish is explained by good old Nordic plainness once more. Because I just found Neosens and oh my fucking God, I am seriously tempted to go to Spain to try some on. I don't think I've ever even *seen* a Pompadour heel in a Finnish shoe shop and decorations are rare, too--and yet the Nordic women's shoes

SHOES

Why did you show me this WHY. I can't buy shoes online because they never fit, so all I can do is stare at them and sigh.

I KNOW. Weren't we both in the "even size 36 can be wobbly" club, too? ALL THOSE POMPADOUR HEELS AND PRETTY RIBBONS ARE KILLING ME.

Re: SHOES

My feet are a bit larger than yours, so I can wear size 37 sometimes. The problem (apart from that) is that I have very low arches (you could say flat, even) and my feet are narrow at the heel, so most shoes that don't have straps or the like just fall right off. Boots, on the other hand, most often don't fit because my ankles are so thin. So it's really a matter of "if it fits, it's a must-have, because there's no telling how many years it will be before I find a fitting pair again".

*high five* I have the same exact problem with the shape of my feet. I'm so grateful for the Ecco ones I got because they actually have arch support. Ever since I was a kid, I'd get these minor sprains in the arch of my foot where the muscles would tear a little and feel really painful because my foot was so flat. And FINALLY I have shoes that don't allow for that to happen. And I remember being neurotic as a kid about always wanting sneakers that had high tops (wait, do you call them tops? What do you call the neck of a shoe? I HAVE NEVER NEEDED TO USE WORDS LIKE THESE) that wrapped properly around the ankles (preferably with velcro rather than laces) so they would never fall off and I wouldn't sprain my ankles either.

And I totally hear you about the "oh fuck, must buy this now because I won't find anything like it in the next decade" when it comes to not just shoes but all clothes, but I remember us talking about this on some fleamarket trip or another. "Wait, this can accommodate my boobs and it isn't a tent? SHIT. Must buy."
