When Your Feet Change, But Your Heart Doesn’t – Part 2 - Shoes I Love
Updated: Oct 11
Some shoes stay with us because of how they looked. Some stay because of how they felt. But the ones that stay forever? Those are the shoes that made us feel like the best version of ourselves.
These heels were with me through celebrations, milestones, nights out, and moments when I needed a confidence boost. They were part of my identity, the stylish, bold, unstoppable version of me who wasn’t afraid to take up space or make an entrance.
The pair I’m talking about this time, are my Gold Rhinestone Glitter Betsey Johnson Green Bottom Heels. It has the kind of sparkle that is bold and shiny and seen, especially when the light hits them just right. These shoes I love, shimmered with personality, confidence, and just a little bit of mischief. And when I wore them, I felt all of that and more.
One of my favorite memories in these shoes was my best friend’s 60th birthday celebration. I remember when wearing them I felt lean and tall, even though I knew I wasn’t lean at all… lol.
But that’s the magic of a good heel, isn’t it? It doesn’t change your body; it changes your energy.
Those Betsey Johnson heels didn’t hurt my feet, didn’t pinch my toes, didn’t make me regret wearing them halfway through the night. They simply let me enjoy the moment, the fun, the laughter, the celebration, and the joy of being there for someone I love.
And here’s something we don’t talk enough, about how a woman’s feet change. Not just because of time, but because of everything we carry. The load we bear isn’t only on our minds and hearts; it’s on our bodies, too.
Our feet hold the weight of our days, our responsibilities, our service, our families, our careers, our joys, and our struggles. They’ve carried us through long shifts, long seasons, and long journeys. So of course they widen, shift, soften, and reshape themselves over the years.

But even as our feet change, our hearts don’t. The memories stay. The moments stay. The way a pair of heels made us feel, that stays forever!
