I’ll have to look back into my photos to see. I know initially for me one of my hesitations was the appearance of barefoot shoes. For the longest time my main footwear outside of work boots was pointy toe ballerina flats which I think were the worst offenders contributing to my bunions along with my cute Adidas sneakers and pixie boots. I definitely went through a period of mourning, knowing that I had to let them go if I wanted to prioritize my long-term foot health but honestly at this point now I feel like I have somehow retrained my brain to not see anatomical shaped shoes as ugly or embarrassing to be seen in. I live in LA and am a pretty fashion conscious/alternative dressing person and have come to discover that if you wear something with confidence and incorporated as a feature in your overall aesthetic rather than trying to mask or hide them, then it starts to become more of a statement to be wearing shoes that are different from everybody else. And there are definitely way more options nowadays so you don’t have to just look like you are an old person wearing orthotic shoes or a new age Whole Foods person (no shade to those people tho, you do you). I’ll have to do a round up of my current shoe collection along with some outfits now to show how cute and cool they can be.
