I see videos circulating from time to time of women spraying lidocaine on their feet before wearing heels. “I think amazing!! I’ll do that next time.” But why?!? Why?!?

I’ve fully transitioned to Rothy’s. Other than Tennis shoes, they are all I put on my feet (and they are machine washable!)

Absolutely done. They’re not even cool anymore, apparently!! But socks and sandals are…? Each of my pregnancies punished my feet. My husband saw them recently and said: “wow! You have adolescent bunions.” By which he meant bunions that aren’t totally mature but aren’t totally immature either. Basically anything that squeezes the front half of my foot is a NO.

Heels suck and luckily (?) I don’t have much opportunity to need them, but as a short girl I feel like such a child and/or granny in flats. I go for comfy wedges or platform shoes…

Well said! I am always FLOORED by how many people can dance all night in 4" heels. I always carry a pair of flats with me and put them on after everyone gets drunk!! Can't wait to hear what everyone else does.
