I received a catalog from Nordstrom introducing:

JIMMY CHOO

CHOO 24:7

The Collection

There’s HOPE gals!  The Jimmy Choo collection is offering beautiful shoes that we can wear without breaking our necks or developing calluses! Take the IRENA or ISABEL group for example. Hooray!

I was shopping with a friend at Nordstrom in Chicago last Fall and we were ready to splurge on fabulous shoes. We tried on shoes for 2 hours. The salespeople brought out pair after pair. Gorgeous shoes, but who could walk in them?  We couldn’t figure it out. You reach a certain age or just need to actually walk in your shoes and you start to acknowledge what the “high of high” heels are doing to your body. Are the women who can afford the fabulous shoes finding what they want? A gal can wear any shoe for an hour, but with foot and back issues, we’re starting to realize our wasted dollars on 4′” stilettos that sit in our closet.  Those beauties are for display, not for utility. (And that’s okay, but how many pair of those kind do we need?  Tee hee!)

Some friends will say they can wear any heel height, but it’s sad to see them barefoot. We need these feet for life. Let’s be kind to them. While I loved SATC, Carrie Bradshaw almost did us a disservice with running for blocks in her Manolo’s.  Is it realistic to expect there won’t be consequences?  It’s not that I don’t have a closet full of shoes, but I’ve become pickier as time goes by.  Comfort becomes a priority, otherwise, the shoes become a “donation.”

Check it out!
