Shoes! I purchased four pairs from Zappos.com, from the fancy and painful, to the plain and painful. Happily, I found one pair that feels like a dream on my feet. They are ballroom dancing shoes and they have extra padding to keep by feet happy for hours. They are the only pair of heeled shoes that have ever I owned that feel ready to be worn in a 5k race.

Unfortunately, Zappos only sold its white ballroom shoe in a non-leather version, so they look a little like plastic Barbie shoes. My wedding dress should cover them for most of the night, but I plan on wearing them with my much shorter getaway outfit. It would be a pain to lug a second set of shoes to the reception and I hope everyone will be too drunk to dwell on the less than perfect texture.

The sublime feeling/less than sublime looking shoes:


Update: Arg! I just learned that Zappos has a new leather version of my shoe!
