Gotta be the shoes

The weekend a few weeks ago when my shoes kept coming off was the last straw. Surely, I thought, I could find high tops I could wear.

I remembered these shoes one of my older sisters had showed me. They zipped. But that isn't a good enough explanation. The whole top zips, as you can see.

I was dubious they would work with my braces because my braces have a clip on the laces, and I wasn't sure how we'd get them on.

But I was so annoyed with the braces, I ordered a pair. (the ones pictured).

There are issues. The braces don't love the soles, and somehow work their way off the soles. But I like the shoes more than the braces, so the braces best come around.
