Sexiness in a Box

I'm a chick.  I know all about Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, and the beautiful red bottomed Christian Louboutin's; however, I just cannot see spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a pair of shoes.  I pretty much get all my shoes from Target for under $30 and they're just fine for me.  

The only time I ever splurge...

Running shoes!
I finally broke down and ordered a new pair as my old ones were months in and needed some serious resuscitation.

Happiness

More Excitement

Woohoo!  Extatic

New Mizuno Wave Creations
Amazing!

My old shoes.  I've never been a fan of colored shoes,
but they get so dirty on the trails so I'm trying something new.

I already love my new bright purple shoes.  However, they look like they should belong to someone fast and I am deceptively slow so people might chuckle when they see me in them.  That's okay though, what do they say, it's not the size of the boat it's the motion in the ocean... Well, I'm going to go with - it's not the speed of the runner it's the distance she covers.  Way better theory if you ask me.  


I wanted to take the shiny, smoking hot, new shoes out for a nice long run or at least do my interval workout that I had missed from being sick, but while I am feeling better I know I am still not 100% so I took it easy today.  Besides, I know I have a 6 mile run scheduled with T tomorrow morning and a 4-5 mile walk/dinner with C tomorrow night.

* I tried to buy my shoes from Dicks so I wouldn't have to pay shipping, but they only had one color that I didn't really like.  Then I checked out Mizuno online and while they had 3 colors, Finish Line had over a dozen awesome colors (I almost got turquoise) and free shipping.  Love my Mizunos!

Shoes

*I am the type of girl who gets more excited for a pair of new running shoes than a pair of new heels or boots.  I guess that is a big sign of my healthy lifestyle change.  

After over an hour shoe shopping online today, I give up!  

I found blue Mizunos I loved,

Purple ones that were fabulous,

And a Turquoise pair so amazing I am pretty sure I'd have to sleep in them!

However, what was the only color on sale in my size... ORANGE.

Not a bright, cheery neon orange either.  I'm pretty sure this is known as "my cat just puked on the carpet orange".    

This picture does not do it's HORRID tint justice, I hate orange!

I hate having big feet.  Is it worth the $30 off? 

I'd even happily take any of these okay color combos.  They are all better than the orange.
