2. Sensible Shoes Suddenly Make Sense

However, when you start to grow a little bit older, or become a little bit more mature - because God knows those things are not exclusive - you start to realise that you're actually becoming your mom when the idea of walking around in high heels all day and night feels and sounds excruciating. Worse, you realise you'd much rather wear a nice pair of flats, or even more frightening, some sensible shoes. You start to panic, and might even have an irrational binge on a massively expensive pair of shoes you really don't need - and in the long term don't really like - until you begin to come to terms with how comfortable these sensible shoes actually are. You begin looking into different styles and colours. Before you know it, they've taken over your closet, your high heels have been relocated to a shoe box somewhere, and you couldn't be happier walking down the street in these comfortable, flat-heeled shoes, the same ones your mother simply swears by.
