Love Over Shoes

 Thoughtful Thursday :)

I once fell in love over a pair of shoes...found a soul mate, in fact. You could accuse me of having a foot fetish because he did have lovely feet. I could wax poetic about his high insteps and charming toes but I will spare you those details. Besides, I don't think I actually have a foot fetish...

I happened to be working the afternoon he came into the shoe store to find some quality shoes he could wear to wait tables. He explained that his feet were wide and that sometimes made it difficult to find shoes that fit well. I measured his feet and headed back to the stock room hoping he wouldn't notice how flushed with color I became when I looked in his eyes. In all honesty, I wanted to help his feet first and foremost but, I will admit the connection I felt with him was immediate and true.

Of course, I fit him with a pair of excellent work shoes that treated his feet beautifully. He purchased the shoes and left the store. As he walked away he repeatedly looked back over his shoulder to catch my eye. We would certainly meet again. Time passed and much of that time was spent together learning, loving and always wearing superb shoes. I will always look over my shoulder with love, fondness and gratitude of having shared a life with him and those perfect feet of his.
