Your Cart is Empty
You’ve seen it in movies.
You’ve seen it in the infamous Mentos commercial.
But does it happen in real life?
Yes, my friends, I can attest to the fact that heels actually DO break off.
It was a typical weekday morning many, many moons ago. I was leaning over my coworker’s desk discussing what was for lunch…or something of similar importance, when...
POP goes the heel-sel.
The heel of my shoe literally snapped off. There I was standing lopsided in the middle of the office. What to do?
Given that I took the bus downtown every morning, I couldn’t just hop in my car and hightail it home or to the nearest shoe store. So I decided if the Mentos lady could break off the other heel and go about her merry way, so could I.
After about an hour of hammering, twisting, and beating, I realized the heel of my other shoe was not coming off. It, unlike its partner, was solid and stable.
So instead of joining my coworkers for lunch that day, I walked – humiliated and humbled – four city blocks to a shoe store to purchase an emergency replacement pair.
Perhaps we should think about building a shoe emergency kit…just in case you find yourself asking “What the heel just happened to my shoe?”
