The Curse of Flat Feet

Like every little girl, I dreamt that I will be strutting my pretty gowns with my dainty glass slipper waiting for my prince charming. That was until I found out I was born with the curse of FLAT FEET!

This meant standing 5 mins in heels is enough to send every cell in my calves, heels and arch reeling in pain. If I choose to ignore the pain, it will then travel up to my lower back. And after a day, I will probably toss and turn in bed for an hour with my achy legs till I can fall asleep. Even flats are not totally good for me, as most of these shoes are too narrow for my flat feet and I deduced I need footwear with arch support. All these years, sadly, I have not managed to find pretty heels designed for flat feet souls. But there are some comfy shoe brands which are catered for the flat feet.

When I am not meeting my clients, I will wear my pink Rockport sandals courtesy of my boyfriend. They are not pretty but they are really god sent comfort with their thick padded in soles that support my arch. New Balance has wide shoes and arch support for flat feet which made me feel I am walking on sunshine..ooh yeah.. And there are the Everlast canvas shoes that are wide enough for my feet and can go with jeans.

If one day, you ever see my shoes mismatched with my clothes, please forgive me. It is my archilles heel!
