Be strict with your shoes

Give your feet and posture some TLC by clearing out your shoe cupboard today.

Try to be strict with yourself and get rid of any shoes that cause you serious discomfort – anything from killer heels to old trainers.

I wasn’t happy about this. I’m all for getting fit and healthy, but now I’m having my shoe collection attacked?!

However, the phrase “be strict with yourself” made me feel guilty and I thought I should make a bit of an effort.

So I grudgingly threw two pairs of, admittedly pretty ridiculous, high-heeled sandals into a bin bag that was already filled with stuff I’ve been meaning to take to a charity shop for months. I haven’t worn them for a couple of summers so after the initial shock and plenty of grumbling the loss wasn’t too great.

Plus I had a nice brisk walk down to Help the Aged to make myself feel extra virtuous.
