Doctor/Date Shoes

Last summer as I rushed around the house to brush my teeth and change clothes for my doctor's appointment, I sent my son's fiancee to retrieve my doctor/date shoes from the closet and my son to back the car out of the garage for me.

"What are Doctor Date Shoes?" Lauren inquired.

"They are the clean, white Reeboks in the front that look new, " I answered.  "I only use them if I'm going to the doctor's office, or if I have a date that includes an activity requiring tennis shoes.  I always keep a new pair ready for doctors and dates."

My son had joined his fiancee by this time, and they both chuckled over my need to keep special shoes for those two life events.  They found a great deal of amusement in the fact I had doctor/date specialty shoes, and claimed I was the only one they knew who had doctor/date shoes.

Obviously, doctors and dates are important enough in my mind to warrant a high ranking in shoe priorities.  I like my shoes to be clean and relatively new on occasions that involve doctors and dates.   After the shoes get a little wear and tear, I downgrade them to everyday Reeboks, and move the current everyday ones to a lower category for yard work and muddy times.  Then I buy a new pair for the doctor/date category to stand at the ready. Not only is that practical, but I own nice shoes for occasions when I need them.

So, bring on the doctors and dates -- I'm ready, and I have shoes.  Actually, let's not bring on the doctors -- I really don't want reason to see them.  Bring on the dates then.  If it's a dinner date, however, maybe I need a new pair of dressier shoes instead of my Reeboks.  All right!  I certainly need to get shopping.  Sometimes a gal just needs special shoes for special occasions, and you never know when that might be.  Bring on the shopping.  You can't go wrong with good shoes.   :)
