Sad Feet

Why does Anthropologie insist on making my feet sad with envy? I have rheumatoid arthritis and will never again be able to wear high heels, the pain is just unbearable. I can wear a low 2 inch heel for about an hour if I put in my own arch supports and gel cushions. It is a sad state of affairs indeed! But to add insult to injury, Anthropologie is constantly rubbing it in my face with their delectable shoes which are generally 3 inch heels or taller. Sometimes I still have to talk myself out of buying them even though I know I cannot wear them. I just want to buy them and display them as art and gaze at them lovingly. (Not that I could afford them anyway...)

Here are some lovelies that I am currently lusting after:
