I haven't worn a dress in about 20 years. I am so short and squatty that I really need a little heel to pull a dress off. I can't find flats that look nice enough to wear with a dress. Like you, I tend to wear sporty type shoes nowadays, but they have to have a wide sole. If the sole is too narrow, I will fall. I've fallen so many times that I've become a conscience walker. Unfortunately, that means most people that I'm walking with are always at least 3 to 5 steps ahead of me.

@vallee45 You surely know how it is to have to have to wear pants all the time, my dear friend! Since I made this video, I have improved a lot and I am able to use one other pair of shoes but I still wear the "hamburger shoes" and the sneakers most of the times. I am sorry that you fall a lot: I hope you don't get hurt. I don't fall, but I have become a conscience walker too!

Hugs,

Angela

Us MSers should develop a shoe line that we can wear that aren't so ugly.

Dear Jolie,

you are absolutely right!

I would ask Armani or Valentino to design some good looking italian shoes that would be affordable but that hasn't happened yet!!!! :)

I would love to stop wearing ugly shoes but I can't. Maybe, someday...I am working on it!

These shoes make me laugh so it's ok...and they remind me that I am still able to walk...which is pretty wonderful!

Thank you for watching and for writing to me! I hope you are doing well!

Have a good evening,

Angela

Yes, dear Irish. I do share your attitude of gratitude. I thank God every day for all those little things that are considered silly in our modern world...and this helps me go on.

God bless you too, dear Irish and have a good day!

I am happy just to walk?

I hope you realize how profound that statement is.

I have never heard more truth spoken in one line.

I am just happy that I can walk.

You share my attitude of gratitude.

Apparently your MS will never be "bad" either.

God bless.

...flat tires...uhmm...interesting thought...isn't it fun to look at things in life this way instead of getting too upset about them?

I am just happy that I can walk...hamburger shoes or not!!!!

[angelusa73]

Well said!

Yes, I would be Angela McDonald of the hamburger family!!!!!!!!!...but I am not sure if I will ever paint them red...Actually, I think I would do it only if McDonald would make a generous donation to Hopkins, to Southwestern or to the MS Society to go to MS research...Good idea, right?!

[irishbear76]

Oh yeah.

I didn't answer your ?.

Yes, if they were bright red you would be Angela McDonald.

Comfortable usually equates to ugliness.

The most comfortable shoes I own look like a couple of flat tires.

Ciao.
