Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	My doctor has suggested I get rid of all my pointed toe shoes/boots because of this toe problem. I have some that have never been worn! I think I'm going to be grieving over this for a while but it sure isn't worth it, trying to wear them. What's a girl to do? _________________________ If it doesn't feel good, don't do it twice. www.eadv.net Boomer Queen of Shoes

You're just getting rid of them now? I couldn't wear heels like that for the past 10 years. Ouch!

Or beautiful draping silk flowers? That way, if you ever get around to being able to wear them again, they'll still be there for you. Any granddaughters or nieces or little neighbours who could use them for dressup? _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it.

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	You gals are too funny! Yes, I'll have a doctor make my toes pointed so I can wear the shoes. That sounds like a plan. Gardening tools. It would hurt me too much to watch them get dirty. If I made decorations from them, my husband would have me put away. I'm going to ask the cleaning lady if she wants them. Hope she's the same foot size. I'm on meds for that stupid gout. Gee, do you think I waited long enough to go to the doc? _________________________ If it doesn't feel good, don't do it twice. www.eadv.net Boomer Queen of Shoes

Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	Ooooh, Dianne, I just had such a delicious thought. Just think, when your gout is healed and your feet are better suited for fashionable footwear again, just think how much fun you're going to have shopping for new shoes to go with your new feet?!! Now that's the stuff dreams are made of! Edited by Eagle Heart (11/29/06 02:28 PM) _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it.

Edelweiss Member Registered: 06/05/06 Posts: 4136 Loc: American living in Europe	Dianne have you thought of selling them over Ebay? I bet you could sell them there! If you add, never worn...hey, maybe you'll be lucky.

Jane_Carroll member Registered: 07/06/06 Posts: 1521 Loc: Alabama	Dianne, I feel your pain...I essentially gave up heels several years ago during a spell of vertigo...no fun falling off your shoes at work! When my head quit spinning, my feet had gone on strike...they refuse to wear anything confining or with a heel anymore... So when I created my character Bertha...she always is in high-heels...that's my way of living vicariously! You might also donnate to a women's shelter if they don't fit the cleaning lady and you don't want to sell them. And remember...gout is a King's condition...you must be special!!!! _________________________ Jane Carroll

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	Oh yes, I feel VERY special having gout. Very. I was thinking of the women at the shelter and will probably take them to the next support group, with tears in my eyes, of course. Not really. It's just that I don't buy cheap shoes (corns can result) so it's like throwing money away.
