Stupid Vincci Shoes

Vincci shoes are popular for a few things - they're cheap (well, relatively cheap, on par with other home brands such as Nose and Primavera), pretty ... and bloody uncomfortable. I have a LOT of shoes, and most of my Vinccis aren't exactly feet heaven. Look good, yes. Feel good, no.

I bought a pair of court shoes over the weekend, which I thought I'd wear to work. My Clarks' were looking worse for wear, so I thought I'd get something new. I saw this at Vincci.

Not too bad, right? The heels are only about an inch and a half, which is just nice. It was rather pricey though, RM70 for a pair. I thought I'd get half a size bigger, so that I can stretch it nicely.

Unfortunately, the damn pair of shoes totally pinched my wee toes within FIVE minutes of wear (okay, I didn't know that'd happen; I didn't test the shoes at the store for 5 minutes, for goodness' sake!), and I had to endure walking from the carpark to the office and back in pretty, but super painful shoes. Thank God, I don't have to wear that at the office (we have to change our shoes to ugly, but pretty comfy Bata ones). Or else I'd have a pool of blood in my shoes.

Damnit, that's RM70 I'd never see again. Reminder to self - pay through the nose for a good pair of Clark's or Hush Puppies, and that'd last you many years. Save Vincci for events which you don't have to walk or stand much.

I need to nurse the blisters on my wee toes now. Ouch!

PS: Don't ask me why I still buy shoes that are uncomfortable but pretty. They had me at pretty. That's all I'm sayin' ;)
