I think the women at the shelter would LOVE having something pretty given to them - it will make them feel special again, after what they've been through.
They'll be like Cinderellas and you can be the Fairy Godmother.

Yeah, the Fairy Godmother wearing UGGS.

I think the meds are working because the pain is going away. I have a pair of round toe boots I haven't been able to wear because of the pain so I have that to look forward to.

This is not a good thing to happen to The Queen of Shoes. But yes, Eagle...shopping for new styles will be fun but I'll have to leave the hub at home.

And if you are in open-toed models...you can show off a nice pedicure!

And you're special...with or without gout!!!!!

Hi, Dianne: Or maybe, "if parting is such sweet sorrow" you can just keep some to use for when you simply just sit down and not walk in them. Just a thought.

That would be me walking from the closet to the sofa and watching television.

Dianne and all, I am laughing out loud at this post. You all are nuts. I think you should put on some comfy shoes and hit the shoe stores. And if you can't wear pointy shoes, does that mean you can't wear dressy clothes? Well, you better add clothes shopping to the list. You'll need soem new clothes to go with your new shoes. Get busy girl...

Dianne, I know this isn't all so hilarious for you, but I have to thank you, because I haven't laughed this well in weeks! I've been feeling so crappy lately, but this whole thread has had me almost falling off the chair from laughing so hard. That feels good. I'm sure that doesn't take away all of the pain of having to get rid of those shoes, but surely bringing laughter to a crappy-feeling sister is some kind of silver lining.

I've been laughing too. Trust me, I have enough shoes that don't have pointed toes to keep me going for a long time. It is good to laugh, isn't it?

Sell them on Ebay Dianne, at least you'll have something for your trouble and I doubt homeless shelter women would know what to do with, or have anything to wear with expensive, pointed toe shoes.

These women aren't homeless. Most have jobs and go to church. For now, they are in the shelter for safety reasons or some are in transitional housing.

I gave a pair of boots (cry) to our property manager's daughter. Same shoe size and loves retro shoes. They were Michael Kors boots and I had only worn them two times. I'm not sure if my dress shoes would be for her. Too mature.
