The Footware Dilemma

Something vexes me...........shoes.

I have been wearing a pair of clogs to work in for about 20 months. Occasionally I would wear dress shoes and flats but pretty much this same pair of shoes all that time.
They are falling apart. I have to wear other shoes.
I really don't want to buy shoes until I get to Florida so I have been wearing dress shoes.
I have a pair of 1 1/2 heeled sling backs that are pretty comfortable so I can wear them.
Yesterday I was going to wear the shoes above but they are pretty new and I haven't broke them in yet. My feet were swollen so they were throbbing before I left the house. I wore instead a pair of ankle straps. Luckily I took a pair of mules because 3 hours into the work day they rubbed a blister on my heel.

If I'm going to dance I need to be able to wear real shoes. If I can't wear real shoes to work in how can I expect to dance?

I really want to wear big girl shoes.

Today I'm wearing the sling backs again.
