Why we love shoes

Shoes, you can never have too many shoes! Whether you just see them as a necessity or whether you see them as a luxury. Shoes carry you through your day......literally. 

I recently watched a documentary about Christian Louboutin, and aside from the fact that his collection of shoes are utterly gorgeous he also talked about why he makes shoes and how he is so successful,

 
"it comes from a deep understanding of women, and of their feet, and of what gives them the greatest pleasure." - Christian Louboutin. 

So why we do we all love Shoes so much ? 

1.Shoes can transform an outfit

Shoes can make the dullest of outfits change to something more special, whether it's a splash of colour or a classic heel. They really do finish off an outfit, that's why us girls will forever be asking each other what shoe will you be wearing? 

2. Confidence.

A Great pair of shoes can really boost your self esteem and confidence and they can even change your posture and the way you walk.  Don't get me wrong there's nothing more comforting than putting on a warm pair of Uggs in the winter, but when you have a brand new pair of heels, which you save up for a special occasion, they make you feel good. Heels change the way you walk,  they can make you walk with your head held high.

3.Change your night 

If the films have taught us anything - Shoes can change our lives. Cinderella - one sparkling glass slipper bags her a castle and a prince. In the Wizard of Oz, - Dorothy's red shoes enable her to get home by clicking them three times. Okay, so maybe in reality, shoes can make or break your night by either proving to be the comfiest pair of heels you've ever worn or proving to be a huge mistake when you return home,holding your shoes as you have blisters all over your feet. But we still like to live by the wisdom that Cinderella taught us, go and buy those shoes, they could change your life!

4.You can collect them.

There will always be a new pair of shoes to buy, there will always be different styles and colours. We may (only occassionaly) buy the odd pair and never wear them but that's the beauty of shoes.  There are far too many beautiful pairs out there. How are we meant to decide ?

Yes, we realise that sometimes we don't wear the most practical pair of shoes and we'll then whinge about how blistered our feet are, but that's the pain we will go for to wear a good pair of shoes.
