Shoes 9 Plus

Hi all. My name is Prim. I was born and raised by my grandparents - best childhood ever. I grew up like any other normal kid with unrealistic dreams, mostly walking around barefoot.

When i finished my studies, I came to find work in Johannesburg. I was very excited to explore this amazing city full of life and diversity. I started working in restaurants which was hard work but lots of fun as I enjoyed interacting with people from all walks of life.

Being on my feet running up and down with trays full of tequila for 9 hours a shift, the one good pair of shoes I owned was looking tired and the support was gone. I was then transferred to JB's Corner in Melrose Arch and I decided to go shopping for some new shoes. Well to my surprise or should I say my disappointment, I discovered that all ladies shoes were available only up to a size 8 and I'm a size 9. I finally bought a size 8 pair as I didn't have another option except for men's shoes. I wore my new shoes with great hope that they will stretch very quickly as the sales lady promised. I started my 3pm shift and by 5pm I realized that my new shoes weren't stretching quick enough, instead they felt like they were shrinking every second. I still remember the day so vividly as if it was yesterday. Half way through my shift, I really could feel all the cells in my feet die slowly. I went to the restroom and started contemplating if I should take them off or not. I then thought if I take them off i might not be able to put them back on again as I had to go back to work.

After 15 minutes of sobbing in the restroom, I finally went back to work with a big pretend smile on my face to impress my customers. I must say the rest of my shift went much easier because I couldn't feel my feet anymore as they were numb. When i got home that night my toes were blue. Unfortunately i kept wearing those shoes and as a result I developed horrible spider veins and I feel pins and needles on my legs and feet from time to time.

Shopping for shoes has been a nightmare for me since then and i wouldn't wish it on any woman to go through the same traumatic experience. If you've had a similar experience, Please know that you are not alone. I take pride in designing all the shoes. I really hope my shoes bring you much COMFORT.

Shoes are generously cut for extra comfort. Orders can take up to 8 weeks, depending on the availability of the color/leathers.
