Well, the great crocs experiment of 2012 has failed. They’ve never been as comfortable as I would have hoped and they slow me down when I try to walk anywhere. They were also wearing a sore spot on tops of my feet.
All this I could get past, but yesterday I saw a colleague wearing a pair very similar to mine and I was forced to admit that they look ridiculous. And unprofessional. Like really boring clown shoes. Which I guess would be fine if I was some kind of corporate clown. But then, aren’t they all? (Ba-dum-bum! Thank you, I’m here all week Tip your waitress.)
So, I’ve switched back to dressier, but no more comfortable, shoes. My “I’m on my feet all day and need comfortable shoes” saga continues.
As I write this, I’m seated at a desk at work. Which is odd and uncomfortable – I’m at another desk while I wait for memory to be installed on my work computer. I’d better call and check on that – all this sitting is making my back hurt.
What I really need is no shoes and a beanbag chair. I can chill out for hours with that combination and a video game controller in my hand. I’m guessing that won’t really be viable for work, but a fella can dream, can’t he?
