So I bought some new sneakers the other weekend - we went to the Nike Outlet and bought TWO new pairs. I was so excited. When I buy sneakers, I usually only try on the right one - it is my "bigger" foot. I always know that if a sneaker fits my right foot well, it will fit my left no problem. So that is what I did at the store.
Tuesday, I tossed one pair of new shoes in my gym bag. I bring my gym clothes to work, and change at the gym. I go get dressed in the locker room, like usual. I put on my left shoe first (like I always do). It feels funny, like it is on the wrong foot. I was like "you dumb jackass, you put your shoe on the wrong foot!" So I take it off, put it on the right foot. Ahhhhhh, much better. It *was* the wrong foot.
Then I reach for the other shoe (the "left" shoe) and put it on. WTF? It feels strange! So I take it off and look at it. Hmmm, looks like the right shoe - but that can't be, can it? So I take off the right shoe and compare. They look damn similar. But I MUST be wrong. So I out both of them back on, stand up, and look down.
BOTH of my feet are "pointing" or curving to the LEFT. Which means that I had TWO RIGHT SHOES. I am a certifiable jackass. And WOW, the left foot HURT.
So at this point I was like "can I work out like this?". Well, I am only doing 30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical ..... so I sucked it up and did it. Not happily though. I felt like the BIGGEST jackass. And my left foot HURT HURT HURT the entire time! I hope nobody noticed.
Obviously, I am returning them this weekend to exchange one right shoe for a left shoe.
Only a blonde .........
