I think that shoes are like men. No matter how painful they can get, we still buy them. Why? Because the first time we try them on, they feel so nice... they look good. No wonder women end up with a lot of pairs because women could not find the right pair for the right purpose. (Don't raise your eyebrows yet, I have a point). I think men would agree that women have too much pairs of shoes.
Like all other women I have tons of shoes too. I still have pairs with tags on them but what can I do? I was deceived. But I have learned my lesson. I am now mature at choosing the right pair for me. There are shoes that are chosen because of how they look. Some shoes are chosen because of how they make us feel. Some shoes make us feel sexy, pretty, or confident. But at times, women end up complaining that these shoes hurt.
Some women end up buying the wrong pair too (either they were not aware of what suit their feet, they were deceived, talked into it, or it was an impulse). Others simply could not find the "perfect" shoes. Some women buy the shoes because it is the kind they can afford and that they do not want to spend more time in searching for another pair. In other words, they settle for it. I think that in finding the right shoes it is important for women to know for what purpose do they need the pair of shoes. In short consider the lifestyle, who you are. Do you always run? Do you always walk? Are you a classic urban chic or a girly girl? Is quality important to you? How much are you willing to invest, to risk? (Do you get me now?)
Shoes reflect our lifestyle, the persona we want to project. And just like men, shoes can be sooo attractive that we take them home because of an impulse. Oh, and there are those shoes that do not last, those that break easily and wear out too quickly.
If it is said that "women kiss a lot of frogs before finding their prince charming" I say I have bought too many pairs of shoes before finding my perfect match. Today was wet, windy and gray. I was walking outside. And as I walked, I thought to myself how lucky I am to be wearing my perfect pair of boots. I was comfortable and I felt protected. And to this I thought hmmmnn... this feeling reminds me of my husband.
And oh, I have to end this note to clear that I have boxed my "unwanted" and "deceitful" pairs of shoes and will be sending them away ^^
