If The Shoe Fits...
Wear it…
A mini super-rave to Kenneth Cole and Unlisted (his women’s shoe line). I have a terrible time finding fashionable shoes that are comfortable and fit well, but 6 out 10 times this line works for me and that’s a great ratio. I have a wide foot and thicker ankles (how’s that for a sexy image?) and am often frustrated by tiny ribbon straps that never stay put, plus I often feel like one of Cinderella’s stepsisters as I try to cram my feet into the tiny little slippers other companies pass off as women’s shoes.
My mother was along on a sandal buying quest recently and witnessed me try on shoe after shoe after shoe. Finally, after about the eighth store and sixtieth pair, my pent up rage over not getting the maroon Gap pants I wanted when I was twelve started to surface in the form of threats. My poor mom chose to get lost in the aisles and stay as far away from me she could while I tried to force my way into yet another pair. She conveniently returned after I'd kicked of the most recent “misfit” and with forced optimism asked, "So, any luck?" She and the sales woman exchanged looks as I told her that this was because she smoked when she was pregnant with me (It's my unproven theory that low birthweight babies are fed due to guilt!) . My poor mother. I was so frustrated that by the end of the day you’d think I had been in dressing rooms trying on bathing suits for 14 hours!
Thank God for Kenneth Cole! The vintage floral Mary Jane’s are not going to be a favorite among my male readership (my brother, husband and father in-law), but the black heels pictured below knock my husband out! Woo-hoo! I have a formal event in Atlanta at the end of July (Congratulations Mom! This year the Golden Heart, next year the Rita!) and am planning on wearing them with a new wrap dress and Dita Von Teese undergarments (I love old fashioned words) ordered yesterday.
If you have a wider foot…skip the Unlisted line of skinny strappy heels and go for the ones you see below..in all colors…even purple!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course, I have to practice walking …I’m a little wobbly (among other things!).
These shoes are available at most better shoe stores…even Shoe Carnival and Yonker’s carry them. They are very inexpensive running from $25.00-$80.00. I got these on sale for about $30.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
