The Open Toed Shoe Pledge

[owlswing]

Alright ladies, it's that time of year once again!!! I think we need to be reminded of a few things. So my sisters, PLEASE, raise your big toes and repeat after me below...

 

The Open Toed Shoe Pledge

 

 

As a member of the Cute Girl Sisterhood, I pledge to follow the Rules when wearing sandals and other open-toe shoes:

 

I promise to always wear sandals that fit.

My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs.

And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps.

 

I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free.

I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe.

 

I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow.

 

I will shave the hairs off my big toe.

 

I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there.

 

If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back into place hoping it will stay put.

I will get my shoe fixed or toss it.

 

I will not live in corn denial; rather I will lean on my good friend Dr. Scholl's if my feet need him.

 

I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes at Payless for the low, low price of $4.99 even if my feet are small enough to fit into the kids' sizees. This is out of concern for my safety, and the safety of others. No one can walk properly when standing in a pool of sweat and I would hate to

take someone down with me as I fall and break my ankle.

 

I will take my toe ring off toward the end of the day if my toes swell and begin to look like Vienna sausages.

 

I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/coworker when she asks me if her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. Someone has to tell her that her toes are as long as my fingers and no sandal makes creepy feet look good.

 

I will promise if I wear flip flops that I will ensure that they actually flip and flop, making the correct noise while walking and I will swear NOT to slide or drag my feet while wearing them.

 

I will promise to go to my local nail salon at least once per season and have a real pedicure (they are about $15 or 20 and worth EVERY penny).

 

I will promise to throw away any white/off-white sandals that show signs of wear... nothing is tackier than dirty white sandals.

 

And this I promise as a member of the Cute Girl Sisterhood!!!

I recently bought the PedEgg. I didn't order it online...I got it at Walgreens, and it works wonders! Here's a link...pedegg

[Garden Dancer]

Just LOVED getting my footies taken care of!

Got the delux treatment...

the massage chair and foot whirlpool

the nice long soak and full foot-and-calf massage

and me lil' toenails clipped, filed and painted bright coral pink!

 

Matches my pink flip-flops (that do go 'flip' and 'flop')

that I got to go with my (not as girly as you think) sunset pink and coral swirl skirt!

 

Spring and Summer is so perfect for light and flirty stuff, and something kindof looks weird to wear a light skirt with closed black shoes! Give me those cute sparkly flip flops and pretty sandals!

[nettiesaur]

I giggled at the pledge Owlswing. After 6 months of winter, there are some ugly feet up here!!!! And shaving the toes

It looks like a chesse grater but for feet. I have to get one of these...

[edgyspice]

I'm going to have to turn in my girl card, because I looked at that list and said, "That's too damn much work."

 

Also, LOL at the shrimper who turned up in this thread...

I can't wear open-toed shoes. I never had toenails at all during my running days; they all fell off when I began putting in serious mileage, even though I had great running shoes. They've grown back in finally, but are somewhat distorted-looking.

 

At least I am aware of this flaw.

Umm what's a skirt? oh I remember it's one of those things I had to wear at school.... Sorry I'm not very girly and have terrible eczema on my legs so I don't bother to show them

You used to be able to buy a razor scraper but now the laws won't let you so I must, must get this!   Glad to hear it works or I would walk right by it going, yeah another as seen on tv - bet that works!

I used to see this advertised and always would say...'I need that', but I didn't know if it really did the job. Like you, owlswing, I always pass up the 'as seen on tv' Glad I gave it a try, for once

[Whinney]

Love the pledge...... so true.

 

I gotta find me one of those ped egg things. It's almost open toe shoe season in AC.

I'm with ya there. The last time I wore a dress or a skirt was at my own wedding. By the time the reception was over I was ready to put my sweatpants back on!

Like you, owlswing, I always pass up the 'as seen on tv' Glad I gave it a try, for once i'd like to look into that as well.   I keep a foot file in my shower at all times, so i can keep my feet/heels in shape all year round. Because my friend sheri is a license Cosmetologist we get them from the beauty supply store she goes to, but i know they have them everywhere.
