the fasciitis thing

update:
my plantar fasciitis seems to be going away. and it's all because of this pair of shoes. not the running shoes i recently bought, but this old pair of nike ballerina-style walking shoes. or are they dancing shoes? i don't really know. =)

but they're so comfy and they kinda force me to walk properly, i don't know why. and really, i don't much care as long as it works! =) too bad it's not weather-proof, so i can only wear them when it's sunny.

but i love that they go well with casual skirts, capris, and even regular jeans.

comfy shoes

these are old shoes, i've had them since vito was a baby and haven't worn them since. they're just not my style. i'm more of a wedge/loafers/stilletos kind of woman. they're the only ones that match my outfits anyway.

but since my plantar fasciitis started, i've had to compromise on style and go for comfort. these are my only pair of shoes that actually help. the crocs don't help, the flipflops don't either. and ballerina flats actually make it worse. while the stilletos ease up the pressure on my heels, i can't very well go brisk-walking in them, can i? :-S

anyway, the good news is i finally bought myself a pair of athletic shoes. gulp! yes, i raided the sale racks at the sporting good store and found myself a pair of reeboks. i have no idea what model or whatever it is, i just know it's for running. that's good enough for me. and it's a pretty shade of soft blue that will go well with my jeans. i'll just condition myself to think that i'm going to my workout so i don't get hives out of seeing myself in athletic wear when i go bring vito to school. you must think i'm crazy, don't you? oh, go ahead, say it.
