Having lots of shoes: the real reason

Imelda Marcos collected them by the thousands and anyone who has had any exposure to this issue knows that there are not enough cabinets or shoemakers and that ano ut of fashion dress that will go out before a pair of shoes. We are talking about women’s shoes of course. Blogs are warning us, girls have to have a great deal at hand. You never know which color and what kind of shoes combine!

Now, this means shoes have to last long, but they actually don’t, most women’s shoes are not designed to last, more likely being instruments of torture. Sandals are not made to last, nor even to take a short run to catch a bus…

We’ve all seen barefoot girls, or on the shoulders of a man, or walking like a mummy or a zombie because of a broken sandal, boots that last just one season. But still they do not break fast enough!! and demand more and more space under the bed invading storage spaces that should be used for other things.

From all our clothes and accessories shoes are the most risky and demand a lot of attention. But only shoes themselves are able to change that pose or the way you walk.

They are considered hence an uncomfortable imposition, complicated designs with great deal of technical constraints.

Anyway, better take it easy and think to ourselves that shoes cannot ruin our day, nor the way we dress, walk or stand.
