Once, while shopping for shoes that would not exacerbate* my Plantar Fasciitis,

| Borrowed from Google Health |
(Plantar Fasciitis is a fancy word for sore heel)
I shopped in the "practical" section
of an upscale department store.
I shopped for a pair of shoes that appeared as close to normal
as my sore foot would allow me to wear.
But then I was caught off guard.
An enthusiastic sales clerk asked,
"do you want to belong to the 'European Comfort Club?'"
of an upscale department store.

Wait.
Am I that obvious?
I thought I blended.
I thought I blended.
European Comfort club?
Ouch.
You see, I am a shoe-ie.
Like other people are foodies.
I enjoy shoes.
I care about shoes.
Fine shoes.
Pretty shoes.
Not practical shoes.
No.
I do not want to belong to your club.
Thank you very much.
I do not want to belong to your club.
Thank you very much.
And I took my pride,
and my dowdy shoes
as I turned on my sore heel
and walked out of the store.
*exacerbate belongs to my "favorite words" list. Plantar Fasciitis does not.

While I don't suppose I love shoes as much as you do, I can identify with your heel pain! Miserable, huh?? Have you ever tried sole inserts? I've heard good things. I don't have any, but I did buy their flip flops last year, and they were very helpful. While not the cutest flips in the world, they aren't horrible.
And about a gluten-free recipe blog, no, it's not me. But I do have a recipe blog with only healthy, mostly whole food recipes.
