When I was 19 I started working at a bank. As yall might know banks require employees to wear business casual things so I bought a bunch of new clothes and with that I bought these heels. I got them from Catos and was excited because I have a huge foot (size 11!) and they actually made my foot look smaller! If you lucky people with perfect size 7 shoes think that sounds crazy well maybe so but us clown feet people love it! So anyways they are brown, very comfy, and have sort of a striped wood look on the heel. Well I love to wear them during the summer time...so i believe it was summer of 2009 and I wore them to work on a slightly busy day. And let me explain...the bank I worked at was quite busy on Thursday and Fridays and heels aren't always the best idea...in the area that the tellers worked had commerical carpet and the area that we went to so we could run our checks had slick tile floor(you can see where this is headed) with a half door that separated the two. So around 4 we got a break and I hurried off to run my checks....i always took my phone so I could text while I ran them...
I started heading that way and when I stepped onto the tiles my right heel gave way and I skidded forward with my right foot, my left crossed underneath it leaving a foot and a half skid marks on the floor (and probably my pants!) I also had my phone in my right hand so I did this really cool softball pitch with it in the midst of it all so it slammed up against the door to alert everyone that someone just made an ass of themselves. I'm at least 7 different shades of red from embarrassment but I luckily never screamed due to the quickest and terror wrapped into one.
It's one of those moments that you quickly wanna get up and run and hide and pray to God that no one noticed and you don't have to die of embarrassment. I'm also the type that tries to laugh stuff off when it happens and then cry like a little bitch while no one is around...But oh no...my boss came running and was so sympathetic and asking if I am ok...Destiny (my best friend) comes running to see if I'm ok then notices what happens and starts busting up laughing..Another woman that I didn't really like came running thru the door that my phone slammed against and announced to all the other employees that "IT'S WHITNEY! SHE FELL!" Thanks ass...so I finally get myself back together and walk to the chair and pinch a penny everywhere I walked from them on out.
Needless to say the last 2 times I have worn them, the heel has gave way and I nearly had to relive it again! Maybe its time to give them away!
