Sky High

For a very long time I have been on the hunt for some wedge sandals, but couldn't find any I liked. I came across these a while ago, on the Urban Outfitter's website, and while they weren't exactly what I was looking for, for some reason I really, really wanted them. At £85, however, they were way out of my student price range so I left them and continued the search.


So when I saw these shoes had gone down to £20, I knew I had to buy them. I have had them for about a week now, and am yet to wear them outside. This is possibly due to the lack of sunny weather we're having at the moment, but also due to the fact that they are really quite high.


I hadn't really noticed the hight of the wedge until I tried to walk in them (and promptly toppled on my ankle). To me, they look rather like Birkenstocks, which are quite possibly some of the comfiest shoes I own, so I couldn't imagine they wouldn't feel like Birkenstocks. However, the downward pressure from the angle of the foot is really quite painful, and I haven't quite managed to perfect how to walk gracefully in them, rather than clomping around like a child in her mother's shoes.


But I absolutely love these sandals, and will be keeping them until either the sun comes out again or I learn to walk in them, painlessly and effortlessly. (Even more incentive to keep them is the fact that, the day after I bought them, they went up to £40!). For now, however, I will just keep looking at them, wishfully.
