The Shoe Whisperer

Yesterday was a very eventful day. My walkin friend and I went to a "special" shoe store to have our foot analyzed. I was told about this by the ladies I work with in YW. They said there is this little old man that watches you walk and knows what shoe would be the best. Since both of us needed new walking shoes, we thought this would be fun to do. Well, it wasn't a little ole man. It was a punky teenager, that went to classes and was trained by the manager to analyze your walk. WHAT?

So we did our walk...the model turn and walked some more. Then he wanted to see us walk faster. Boy, did we have a good laugh. The first pair of shoes that he brought for me literally looked like Frankenstein's shoes. Like I'm really going to wear something like that. He also gave both of us some inserts for the "different" problems we have with our feet, knees...whatever...old age...hahah!

My friend was getting better looking shoes then I was...GRRR...and she found the ones she liked...they whispered to her...mine..yup, got nothing..no whisperings...NOTHING!

So I just got the inserts, hoping they would help with my heels.

We decided to hit Shoe Carnival, to see if any shoes whispered there. She was wonderful in taking me there. So we looked, pulled some shoes, found the shoes that the previous store was trying to sell. So here I am trying on different walking shoes with my inserts and my friend comes up with a "special" box. She told me that these shoes whispered to her and that they were going to be the ones I wanted. I haven't a clue what they said, but yup, they were the right ones. (they are the yellow ones)

Since the store had a deal going where you buy one get one half off, I called Doug to get Jacob down to the store. Both the boys need new running shoes, especially for trek coming up. So....

My friend (I haven't a clue if she'd want me to use her name or not) and I had fun pulling shoes and having the shoes "whisper" to her...not me.

Jacob comes in with his usual smirk...we told him not to judge the shoes before he puts them on. Leaving the "whispered" shoe for the last to try on. So he tried on about 3 different types and put them in order of how they felt. Then the shoe came out...

Hallelujah!

He tried them on...

And.....they whispered!

Yes, they are the orange ones!

So if he gets lost on trek they can find him....hahah!

It was a great adventure...

Thank you Shoe Whisperer!
