TENNIS SHOES
Today I went to the chiropractor for the second time in a week. My hip keeps getting out of place. I have had this problem for some time and it seems to come and go. Well today I left my shoes on while on the chiropractors table. I guess I hadn't done that before. He quickly told me that I needed some good shoes. My shoes were worn on one side and were contributing to my hip problems. He then went on to say - not just any shoes - get some good tennis shoes with support. I was in so much pain at the time that I agreed - but later wondered if I had made a mistake. I went to the shoe store where the guy tested my foot with a fancy machine and then showed me the choices of the tennis shoes. They were ALL ugly. I asked him if there were any shoes that were not so clumpy looking. I wear skirts most of the time and they looked so bulky and ugly. He assured me that the ones that I considered ugly were the ones I needed. I gave in and bought a pair. The good news was that I got a discount because he saw my Dave Ramsey billfold and gave me a "Dave Ramsey Discount". My complaint is that there doesn't seem to be a pair of tennis shoes that will give you support and look good. I hate the way I look in these shoes but as I walked out of the store - I felt like I was walking on air. Now in this day of modern technology someone should invent a tennis shoe that looks good and still supports your foot. I could get rich if I could think of such a thing. I am commited to wearing these for a while until my hip gets back in shape and then I will be back in those sandals and flats and heels that look good, but do nothing good for your feet - that is just what we women do.
