Designer Shoes

There are plenty of obvious reasons why I love shoes; so obvious that they need no explication. Today, however, I thought I’d explain a couple of less obvious reasons why I love shoes – consider it a deeper insight in an otherwise inexplicable passion…

Shopping for them!

Many people see shopping for shoes as a means to an end; I see it as an end in itself as well! Of course I am there to find some gorgeous new shoes for some event or another, but the actual process of shopping for the shoes is enough of a pastime on its own! Sometimes, whilst buying shoes for a party, I wonder whether I’d actually enjoy myself more if didn’t bother going to the party and spent the equivalent hours buying more shoes instead! Don’t get me wrong; shoe shopping on a time and money budget can be exceptionally stressful indeed! As a method of relaxing, however, shoe shopping takes a lot of beating…

The way they look…off!

As amazing as a classy pair of designer shoes look as you strut down the street, many people forget the joy that you can continue to take from the way your shoes look when you’re not even wearing them! Whether they be in a vertical rack, a horizontal rack, in lines on the floor or on shelves; anybody with a sizable collection of shoes has some method of storing them that probably shows off each pair in their full glory. After all, how else can you decide which pair to wear if you can’t examine them all closely first? As much as I love wearing every pair of shoes that I have (not at the same time, obviously), I also love the process of choosing which pair to wear because it gives me an opportunity to relax and bask in the beauty of every pair I own.

So there’s two unconventional reasons why I love shoes. Can you think of any more for yourself?
