The Perils of Sexy Shoes.

[LittleJade]

I wore these today:

Except in red...


I came out of a stall in the washroom, washed my hands, and turned to get paper towel, tripped over my own shoes, and slammed the left side of my face against the paper towel dispenser.





Tell me about your shoe casualties.

*Snort* That was totally a Bunny moment right there.

Most of my shoe screw-ups involve sticky bar floors and a tipsy me. It's amazing how hard you can go down when your shoe sticks to the floor and your foot comes out.

*shudder*

Been there.

Ouch, I am so sorry. That sounds painful.

I have size 10.5 feet and of course that size is impossibel to find except on-line. I can sometimes feet ok in a size 11, esp if it is a very high heel. I bought a size 11 NineWest high heel pump in CityRed. I love them. ( I adore shoes!!) I bought them to wear on the plane the last time I went to see my Dom. Unfortunately, that day they were too big. I ended up going into the bathroom and stuffing toilet paper in the toes so my shoes would stay on. (my feet must have beena little swollen the day I tried them on..)

The toilet paper worked well enough to get me through the airport, and he loved them so all's well that ends well.

Those are great shoes.

I'm so sorry you got hurt.

Screw up #1, when I got married the first time? My shoes were like stuck in a fold of my wedding dress so that I couldn't move or figure out how to move.

My ex tried to simply lift me up which felt like it might tear the whole front of my dress off and leave me standing bare in church from the waist up.

I was basically terrified of getting married, of tearing my dress of being nude but somehow we worked it out. I don't quite remember how.

Other screw ups include having to be helped to walk because the heels were so high and I was so out of practice. (Have I ever mentioned I'm a bit clumsy?)

And even in flat shoes, just walking, getting a nice glide going and oops, stumbling do you look like a dumb head and not sexy at all.

*sigh*

See floors are immobile or so they say but I swear they really jump up and try to trip you!

Don't even get me started on stairs!

LJ, hasn't anyone mentioned to you that there is "good pain" and "not-good pain?" I'm pretty sure face-to-paper-towel-dispenser falls in the latter category. Sorry that happened to you.

FF, you remind of a woman I used to work with. Gorgeous, funny, super-intelligent, a good friend, and one of the biggest klutzes on the face of this (or any) planet. We had those old-fashioned heavy "fire-proof" file cabinets - the ones with concrete and other heavy stuff between the outer and inner shells. She closed the drawer of one on her left boob. Hard. Comment? "Now I'm gonna have to do it to the right side, so they'll be the same size!" (That was *after* twenty minutes or so of scream, cry, going to put a towel soaked in cold water on it. {She admitted later it didn't help a bit.})

Another day, when she was about five months pregnant, she came from office area A into office area B. There was a door between them. Both areas were carpeted, BUT the carpet was continuous between the two areas (installed before the walls were put up). She tripped coming through the door and tried to blame it on the carpet. Then someone pointed out there was no wrinkle, join or other blemish in the carpet in that area. Helpful me described her as "the only person I've ever met who could trip over air turbulence." Go figger - she wasn't amused.

Lol!

Yes, I know. It's ridiculous, and it was NOT good pain. My eyeball was blood red for a couple hours, I felt nauseated, tired, and dizzy, and I had weird vision for the rest of the day. I see my doc tomorrow. My honey's worried about concussion.

I'm fine. Just bruised over the left half of my face.

 

[myinnerslut]

i am accident prone and a klutz. not a good combination.

for these reasons i own only one pair of real heels. similiar to these but baby blue, with no buckle, and a slightly higher heel. every time i wear them i stumble at least once and usually fall at least once but they are so cute and make my legs look so good i cant help but court disaster and try wearing them again.

These days I don't think I'd get far enough to hit my head on anything in those. They're cute though. And ow, owwie. I hope you are OK.

I somehow wound up on my ass topping my bull in public for the first time. Topping in public at all for the first time. I was probably looking impressive for the first few minutes and again after dusting myself off. You could almost see it coming, as I had on these massive platform stiletto things.

I'm alright. Just gonna need more makeup tomorrow. Heh.

I know that were I to top in public, the same thing would happen to me.


It's like hubris.

The reason I stick to 4-5" stilettos?

Anything between the lug heel on a boot/Doc Martin, and a 4" stiletto makes me trip.

I stumble in 2" heels.

I'm ungraceful as hell in 3" heels

I trip in 3½" heels.

... but put me in a 4" heel and suddenly I get all poised and crap.

Weird. Anything over 4.5 and I just tip. No one seems to get heel placement right for me.

 

[BiBunny]

I blew out both ankles a long time ago and damn near totally severed the Achilles in one. They're not even strong enough for me to stand up on tiptoe anymore without being in danger of falling on my ass. If I have heels that are higher than a couple of inches, I have to have a platform under the toe. So I can wear 6" heels with no problem, provided I have a little support in the front to lessen the crazy angle of my foot. But give me a pair of 4" stilettos with nothing under the toe, and I'll bust my ass before I can get out of the house. Go figure.

 

[lushlucid]

Those are some cute shoes!

unfortunately me and shoes don't go well together, let alone heels so we don't meet very often, i envy you

 

[rida]

Lovely shoes!!!
And sorry to hear of the "accident" ... I can only imagine how much it hurted!

As for myself, I love shoes ... and LOVE high heels!
But since I wear a 7/ ~ 7&1/2 there is a limit to the heels' hight ...

Let's see for a perilious story:
when my pin heal got stuck in the train-tracks while the bell was ringing ... I really didn't want to leave the shoe there ... and luckily it unstuck without even breaking off.

Funny story but not involving sexy shoes: falling face first because I step on my own snikers' shoe laces ...

 

[reignophelia]

Jade,

I cringed when I read your story. I hope you're alright.

It's odd. I can handle 2 3/4 heels (comfortably) but nothing higher. Like that 1/4 inch makes all the difference. Now I suppose I can wear higher heels, but I'm really somewhat of a practical person and I need to be able to move around easily.

I've had many issues when at the supermarket. It's those linoleum floors that do me in. Carpet is great for heels, and hardwood isn't bad. Although I've done some damage in a restaurant where the floor went from being tile to hardwood. I fell flat on my ass. Not fun.

The supermarket is the worst though. Especially if they keep waxing it (linoleum floor) but dont' fix the little ripples in the floor. Hmm...
And you know my shopping cart is on wheels. That doesn't help either.

 

[LittleJade]

I officially dig this thread.

 

[FurryFury]

You've inspired me to wear heals today on my date with my husband.

Pray for me?

*chuckles*

 

[DeservingBitch]

Funny that you ask...

So, the other night, I go out with some friends for martinis, wearing this outfit with 4" heels (how come i can't manage to have the image embedded in my post - am i slow or what?), which got me a lot of compliments and all.

After one too many drinks, I was not walking as graciously as someone wearing such heels should. Walking down the stairs to go to the bathroom, I triped on my heels, and ended up falling in the arms of a rather cute butch boi that was coming up the stairs. I swear it was an accident, but that cute boi didn't seem to believe it:

"You know hon, you didn't have to risk breaking all the bones in your body to get me to grab your ass. Or buy you a drink" was what he told me with a wicked smile.

The worst part was when I walked back in the bar, and had to walk pass him and his friends, all looking and smiling at me. Not so much into humiliation when I am the one subjected to it.


Love the shoes LittleJade. Especially in red.

Ahhhhhh - makes sense now. Glad to hear that it's not me being technology challenged.

*bats lashes*

I like to think I appear graceful even when falling and so on.

I can't walk well in 4" heels so this amazes me!

Good for you!

As for me, shorter heels are better.

Back in the ole days I could rock higher heels than I can today though.

 

[coy_one]

I was wearing my favorite pair of black Patent leather 4" heels one morning.

And I decided to stop at Starbuck's near my office, because the men go to the gym next to it.... and I have been fortunate enough to be asked out there before.

So, I go in, and I order my drink. I come out, and the heel of my shoe got caught between the bricks and my foot went out, the shoe got stuck, and I *almost* went down - in a skirt. I did get several rounds of applause for my great catch, though. Not the attention I was looking for, that's certain.
