Vacation shoes

I have been on vacation and no vacation for a shoelover without buying shoes. Only problem is when you vacate in a country with few great shoe options. One might argue – why the heck go to such a country, but family relatives has their own ways of enforcing you their own private idea of fun. Anyway I visited my dad in Slovakia and yes, they do have shoes. And no, not great shoes – but hey, it’s shoes, so I have to buy.

So, I bought:

Really conpfortable hiking sandals, with a good sole grip.

Then I went crazy and bought yet another pair of funky compfy shoes:

They are really cute, but really horrible to wear. They are going to be in my black shoebox with all the other “nice-to-have-around-shoes-but-there-is-no-chance-in-hell-I-will-wear-them-in-public-too-much” – almost like having a home jumpsuit in velvet – all the way back in the closet.

Luckily I was off to Korea, and man, they do have shoes. I started out buying these nice sandals for work:

They are made of leather and are as cute as they are compfortable and I am really happy for this buy.

Finally came the best buy – and I think it’s going to be the best buy of this year:

Look at them, how can you not love them and yet the best. They are darn compfortable despite the high heels. I am going to run, dance and sleep in these and next year, I will make sure to buy even two more pairs of the same caliber.

Golly, I have to post yet a picture of them – they are sexy and feminine:

All in all, a good shoe vacation this year.
