If you flinch when you see a ballet flat, thin strappy stiletto, pointed toe or a patent leather mule, you get it. You're a fellow wide foot girly. We simply can't wear what our narrow-footed friends can. They don't feel our pain, literally.

I have scarring on the sides of my feet from times I have been in denial and skipped out the door in a shoe that doesn't accommodate my broad flipper. Ending the night with blisters, panic band-aids and, in my non-finer moments, doing the bare foot walk of shame, shoes in hand.

Watch: Mamamia on the streets. Do you plan your outfit the night before. Post continues below.
