Hey, those are cute! I'm a total shoe snob, and I'd wear those in a heartbeat. In fact I might go look for the ordinary-store equivalent, since my black pumps Went Evil on me over the summer.
If it's any consolation (and no, I don't really expect it to be), I have a similar Thing about buying underwear, particularly bras. I have a reasonably realistic body image, but every time I notice that my bras are falling apart, I get all panicky about how imperfect my body is. I suppose my point is something along the lines of, "It's ridiculous to have these Things, but at least we know we're doing it, and at least it's channeled into these relatively nonpernicious areas." Tell you what--you buy my bras, and I'll buy your shoes, and then we'll buy each other therapeutic tea and chocolate.
