I’ve always hated my feet. Although there’s nothing technically wrong with them. I have five toes on each one, they aren’t hairy and I always have a decent pedicure. But there’s undeniably something a bit gross about feet in general, and if you feel the slightest bit self-concious, summer isn’t a great time.
Luckily, we’ve found you 13 pairs of excellent shoes that will make you feel better about your hooves.
