Shoes are a matter of the heart. In a way, the shoes we walk in define us, which makes the selection we acquire one of the most cardinal fragments to our wardrobes – and hearts. They empower us, elevate us, support us and most importantly, they change us. Everyone who has ever walked in heels before, has full comprehension of my statement “shoes change us” – some shoes more than others, particularly when your foot inhabits a Christian Louboutin, it’s as if we become god-like and the world is suddenly entrenched by tailor-made slaves (not a slight exaggeration at all) We become the idealistic woman every man dreams of, every jealous woman loathes with envy and the reflection, as said formerly, of god. And that my friends, is how the right shoes can liberate you, and most definitely change not only your bank account but your life.
Let’s bring into being our journey to the crux of a woman’s wardrobe, and the core of all happiness – High heeled shoes.
The open toe – This shoe is particularly perfect for the warmer months when the sun is ablaze, the air is balmy and the nights become one with the day. They also allow for a recently polished mani to take centre-shine, without stealing the show. They increase breathability and movement (less blisters – yes, please!) for moments of activity when Beyoncé is on full volume and standing still becomes improbable.
The Kitten heel – Whether you have flat feet, extreme height or you just spend too much time running around, these shoes make for the perfect day shoe, whilst looking uber-cute running errands. The great thing about these cats (get it – kitten heel?) is how versatile they are, with the right style, you can wear them from the morning through to night – with no questions asked!
The stiletto (first recorded as the dagger heel – for good reason too) – these shoes are the ultimate dish. Walking around with stilettos on will make your legs look like candy-canes and your buttocks like Christmas day. This heel will contour and elongate your lower physique to the extent that no other heel can reach, as well as defining a new sense of style and sex appeal.
Sling backs – This shoe is the effortlessly sexy approach that swings between I tried today but I didn’t try at all. With a light strap hugging your ankle, these honeys can be worn all day at no expense of a low pain threshold. They will often look perfect when matched with a polished styled knee-length dress or pants that expose the ankle.
