So Shoe Me

The other day, this happened to me in the middle of lunch hour:

Slingback, you failed me!!



Nothing worked to fix these shoes. I tried rubber bands, paper clips, tape.   This was just a crappy afternoon all around.

This has happened to me before but with sandals.  Twice.  The first time I was in high school and my awesome J. Crew platform flip flops snapped after Math class.  It was so embarassing that I even remember the class period.

The second was last summer at work in an office where I could wear flip flops and I happened to have a spare pair in the car for pedicure purposes.  Phew.

So here's today's question- what does one do when their slingback breaks at work in an office where the attire is business casual? They walk around with a limp for the rest of the day.   Any tips for next time?
