"Valentine" Shoes

When I think of Adriana Trigiani, author of "Brava, Valentine" and "Very Valentine, " I think of hearts. So when I saw these shoes being advertised for our Heart-Themed Prom, I couldn't help but connect the two.

These shoes look painfully uncomfortable and I would never be caught in them. These are definitely more my style:

Yes, I am a "flat" type of person. I'm short but I like to be comfortable. If shoes aren't comfortable I give them away or return them. I currently own six pairs of shoes and two of them are boots (rain galoshes and snow boots). No, my boots aren't fancy or patterned. They are practical and comfortable and they keep my feet dry. True story: I have a FEAR of wet feet; it's completely legitimate. Don't believe me? I'm basically known for this fear and am not shy or embarrassed. If it is snowing, raining, or there is any kind of moisture on the ground — I'm in boots.

I also own a pair of flip flops and dancing shoes (that I changed into right after those pictures were taken). I currently also have two pairs of "teacher shoes." That's just me, I like to be comfortable (with dry feet). I don't spend a lot of money on shoes and generally don't purchase shoes outside of a Payless, Walmart, or Target. Shoes just aren't something that I like to shop for or spend money on. I know, it's complete blasphemy.

But I do think that the heart heels go perfect with Adriana Trigiani's "theme" and if she can wear them — YOU GO GIRL!! What about you? Do you forgo comfort for style?
