Those who know me well know that I am a fan of high-heeled shoes. While I do enjoy my Rainbow flops and UGG boots, I've worn nothing but heels to work since entering the real word in 2006. I love the way heels look and they make me feel tallish (or at least not so short).
It is not that I don't think I can still sport my heels while teaching eighth graders how to solve equations, I am just not sure how long my ballet-battered feet can handle it. I bought no special footwear for my student teaching experience, but then again I wasn't teaching all day, every day, for an entire year.
So what did I get? A pair of Alegria clogs in African Leopard. I figured that if I was going to breakdown and buy a pair of "teacher shoes" that I should at least get a fun pattern! Mama is a big fan of Alegria shoes and owns more pairs than she will fess up to. She had been trying to convince me that I needed a pair for a while now. I think she is kind of excited that I finally caved. Don't worry though, I don't plan on making these my daily shoes. I have purchased some wedges that I plan to wear on a more regular basis. Wedges are like supportive heels, right?
