The “formerly shoe-obsessed” Wayne has sent me a plethora of interesting articles about shoes lately. I have recapped all of these from December 2013 in this “shoe round-up” post. I hope you enjoy the “shoe news” as much as I did reading and compiling them. Thanks so much, Wayne!

DailyMail.co.uk asks, “Would you pay $295 for a pair of flip flops? Rubber sandals get high-end makeover as Valentino collaborates with Havaianas.” Not I.
Or would you pay $840 for a shower shoe? Um, definitely not I.

Shoe purses may not be needed after you read about how high heel pain could soon be a thing of the past, no matter how high your stilettos are due to a new numbing spray, Heel No Pain by Biochemistry that claims to relieve foot pain for up to three hours (via DailyMail.co.uk).
Nine West launched a cute viral video for Christmas about the many uses that women’s pumps could be used for. Watch it at TubeFilter.
What did you get for Christmas? Microwaveable slippers to warm up cold feet were rumored to be a hot (pun not intended) present idea. Santa never got that memo for me.
