Study: High heels hurt

My Jessica Simpson leopard heels are
 two inches high, have comfy soles, and
cost $4 at a thrift shop

If you missed it, high heels hurt. The spiked heels we slide on our feet for fashionable purposes to make us seem physically loftier than we really are can harm our health.

According to a survey by MBT Footwear, out of 1,000 women, 40% experienced some type of mishap in heels like falling down or breaking an ankle. MBT conveniently specializes in making those step up sneakers we're supposed to opt for instead of sky-high heels.

The solution: Dr. Scholl's shoe liners and lower heels.

Goodwill hunting #6: fuzzy leopard loafers

Earlier this week, I finally bought a pair of adorably suave leopard-print, fuzzy-skinned Steve Madden loafers at Goodwill that I had eyed for some time but was too cheap to fork over ten bucks for. 

Then, while surfing the celeb and fashion news, I noticed my shoes happened to be in style. I found a strikingly similar match with an extravagant price tag...
