[Strappy]

He won the hard way. Thanks to Zappos fast service the shoes arrived on Wednesday and we tried our respective weekend footgear on to see if they fit. Mine were a bit tight but his fit perfectly. He hated the ankle strap on the flats. He said it cut into his ankle so I punched an extra hole and told him not to complain because straps are sexy and that’s one reason we love them, By comparison the heels he announced were perfect and he liked being 3 ¼ inches taller. After a brief lesson in how to walk in high heels he suggested that we should go out to a movie so he could practice before getting on a plane.
After parking the car walking to the movie and sitting with his feet in heels for two hours I asked him how he was doing. He said great, but that he was ready to get out of his new shoes. As we were walking out of the theatre we crossed a deep pile rug in the lobby and down he went falling out of his right shoe and on to the floor. When he tried to stand up he grimaced and announced that he had broken his foot. To make along story short he was right a broken metatarsal called a “dancers fracture” The break was not too terrible so he was put in a blue knee high walking cast with a cute green rubber heel on it for six weeks. His toes are now over 2 inches off the ground, so I guess six weeks in a high heel open toe boot wins the bet. In addition to loosing the bet and paying up I am his chauffer for the next six weeks because he can’t drive. All I can say is that it seemed like a good idea at the time.
