Trying to break out of boring...just a bit

I had to go sneaker shopping today, because mine have bit the biscuit. 

I went to the Reebok outlet in town, where I usually end up, and of course had to buy the same style yet again. The style I've been wearing for years, because it's the only D-width one they carry. I did try several others in a half-size up (because they weren't wide width), and so wish my feet would have felt really comfortable in one particular style, but alas, it was not to be.

So, to try to break out of boring, just a tiny bit, I picked up some green laces. Green being my favourite colour, of course.

Oh, and I did order those funky leopard-print compression socks via Amazon.ca.

Green shoe laces and leopard-print socks.

Well, it won't be boring.  :-p

Peace.

We like the green laces!

If they had had hot pink, I would have picked up that colour too. I'll have to keep my eyes open for colourful laces in other stores. :-)

Green laces and leopard print socks will be fun! We hope for photos too!

Thanks for your comments about Isabella. She goes to the dental specialist Wednesday for a consultation so we'll see what they say. Initial estimate for the dental procedure is $1100 to $1300 which seems incredibly high considering she has just a few teeth left so hopefully the consultation clears that up too. My biggest fear is that she has an asthma attack while under anesthesia so I want that addressed to. Oh the things we do for our kitties!

I LOVE it. I have hot pink ones and by the way, I too wear a wide width. I'll wait rather than do what I used to do and just buy a longer size. So worth it to have it wide enough. My feet look like Daisy Duck feet. (There's an age give-away!)

We think the green laces and leopard compression socks will be a fun combination! You go, Kim! :)
Kea said…
Ha! Yeah, that'll be a sight. :-p

I'll post a pic. :-)

I left a comment on your most recent post...outrageous estimate, akin to what most clinics charge here in town! I hope it won't be that much, but of course most of all I hope Isabella will fine.

LOL @ Daisy Duck!

I remember years ago some a&&hole at an intersection making a comment, as I was crossing, about the "snowshoes" on my feet. I was 20-something at the time. Even then, I was walking kilometers to work most days, so it's no wonder I have foot and leg issues now.

Well, I'm so dull and conservative in my dress otherwise. Might as well funk it up a bit!
Cat Lover said…
Kim, I do not think you are dull in your dressing! Your new sneakers look great. I always seem to go back to the same style when I buy new ones too. Looking forward to seeing the new socks and shoes in person!

I AM dull in my dressing, plain and comfortable clothes, not stylish. Don't have a stylish bone in my body. Ha.

There's an elderly woman I see sometimes, usually on Saturdays at the Farm Boy bus stop, and she's dyed her hair a bright orangey-red hair, wears lots of jewelry and usually faux fur this or that (coat, other), wears tight leggings. (She's very, very thin.) Rather eccentric looking, but I always think, you go, girl. LOL. Maybe she'll be my inspiration!

Kim, you just described Chuck's cousin Chaya! She, even in her illness, still puts on makeup and dyes her hair. I don't follow any fashion style. I wear what I like and I like what I wear!
Kea said…
She must be quite the woman! But I think that when you're going through treatments like that, you NEED to do things that make you feel good and feel as attractive as possible.

I have always had a wide foot too, small foot but wide. I look a lot online for shopping for shoes, thankfully there is a wider and wider (excuse the pun) assortment to chose from nowadays. I think the green ties make the white shoes pop!
Green laces? you wild and crazy woman you :)
