As much as I love the ankle booties I purchased especially for my London vacation, I have a confession to make! One I did not want to admit earlier especially to B because I knew he'd give me his "I told you so" look.
So I silently endured the first few days of our vacation wearing my bootie heels. I braved through the pain and discomfort because I love the way my heels looked on me. But as awesome as they were, I hereby sadly admit that my lovely booties were just not comfortable enough to withstand the endless walking we did while vacationing.
Me and my bootiesUsually, I'd bring two pairs of shoes including a pair of sneakers while on vacation. This recent one however, I was quite strict with my packing and left my sneakers behind; refusing to add additional weight to my luggage. Truth was, I was planning a shopping spree and needed all the space I could get to stuff in my buys later!
Gorgeous ankle booties from Liz Claiborne!To be fair to my lovely ankle booties, I did enjoy wearing and walking around in them for the first three days. Day 4 saw the pain starting to kick in and by the end of Day 5; I returned to our hotel with a pair of Footglove shoes from Marks & Spencer! I finally surrendered to the call of a new pair of comfy flat shoes since there was still plenty of walking, shopping and sight-seeing remaining on our agenda. 
A little shorter with my Footglove flatsAnyway, they're off-white and the last pair available was in my size 7; kind of meant to be I guess! And yes, I did appreciate the immediate immense difference it made to my feet and I do admit that I walked a lot faster and easier with my new comfy women's flats.
So you win Love and I do deserve that "I told you so". Worry no more however for I will DEFINITELY go back to practising my two-pairs-shoes-including-sneakers rule on our next getaway! When will that be?

im going on a getaway this weekend and your post made me think if i'd go get myself a pair of shoes, sneakers or something comfy to wear for all the walking *DONT_KNOW* *DONT_KNOW* *DONT_KNOW* *DONT_KNOW*
i hate close shoes and i prefer sandals and wedges, but i don't think they would be right for my getaway this weekend. hmmm. *DONT_KNOW* *DONT_KNOW*
:* :* :* Hey Part!
Ha ha yay! Bring two pairs la Elai! One comfy one and one dressy one he he.... 8-) 8-) 8-)
Yeah closed shoes are necessary sometimes right? I too prefer open-toes or sandals, it's fine to wear those here but certain places are just meant for shoes... and booties woot! :* :* :* :*
Btw where u going Elai???? *DONT_KNOW* *DONT_KNOW* *DONT_KNOW* *DONT_KNOW*

GP! sooo much with the shoesssssssssss! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D i love your booties!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D
this one PB ayt? :-D :-D :-D :-D
those booties are incredibly gorgeous and you've a good eye for style Marzie.
but when i travel, i don't think i can wear those high heel booties. Traveling can be rough, especially on the feet if you're walking endlessly with those heels.
When I must spend much of a trip walking all day long,my best best is still flat sensible shoes.
:* :* :*
Good tips for traveling and walking. :* :* :*
I usually travel light and pack the minimum.
Love the first photo!
They're gorgeous indeed. :*
I used to be able to walk all day with high heels, but I guess now my feet are getting old... prefer flat for a long walk ;)
I'd either bring sneakers, flat shoes or sandals when traveling... depends on my destination of course... plus a pair of pumps when traveling for work :)
Hey EM! Sneakers are the best for walking, no denying that and I only bring sandals for places with warm climate! When are u gonna go for another exotic work cum vacay trip? He he… :)
I think so too EM, esp love the colour! :)
Ahhhhh not the big O word hahahahah! Yeah I saja wan to look nice but still couldn’t tahan the pain EM, my bad! ;)
before I usedto mind how it looks on me but now I am being very careful with heels eversince I got pregnant. When baby's walking around on his own and mommy not needing to carry him much anymore then I can go use my heels. ;) ;)
Those shoes are fab, but they're a killer if I walk on them on a sightseeing tour. I'm the kind of gal who loves comfort so I can enjoy my tour.
Haha!! U want to be like Mariah Carey ah? Only wear high heels and zero flats! LOL!!
Walking so much during vacation how to tahan even though u r not FBB like Mariah? Haha!!
You go shopping must walk fast fast sure must wear flats lah, how long u can take it with high heels? LOL!
Ayie, Mariah Carey dance on stage while prego also wore high heels!! Haha! Dat;s why she fell! LOL!!
What to do Foong, me stubborn muahahaha!
Yay to wanting to be like Mariah hahahahahha! She wears zero flats kah? I wear flats oso Foong but the trip special case mah.. ;)
LOL at not FBB like Mariah, thank goodness!! Dat’s why la I didn’t wan to admit to B initially, no wan hear him lecture me, which he did anyway… ;)
Lol if I’m prego surely I won be wearing heels la and I def won’t be dancing on stage hahahahahha!
He he he, in the end I had to succumb to flat shoes Bing Kee, but this still won’t stop me from trying to find the perfect heels that are comfy for long distance walk on tours muahahaha!
