As a young girl, I only had two pairs of shoes: my school shoes and my other shoes. I’m not sure if it’s because of that, that I grew up with little interest in shoes or I just don’t have the Imelda genes in me.

I usually buy shoes that go with most of my wardrobe, which is predominantly jeans and tees, so I won’t have to buy many pairs. I also favor neutral colors such as black and brown for the same reason. (Just recently, I added shades of white and gray/silver to my palette).

But since I’m getting married, I realized that choosing the bridal shoes is a bit more complicated than my shoe-shopping habit. And to add to that, I am also burdened to choose something that I can wear again. Heck, most of my wedding stuffs are for one-time use only, I am determined to bestow the wedding shoes with a different fate.

I’ve ‘looked around’. But the stilettos scare me. And so do the wedges, and the clogs and the platforms. Anything that is taller than 2 inches and my knees will wobble. I’ve walked on flats for most of my life and I’m still not sure if I’m ready to trade-in the comfort for glamor even for a day.
