The chain and the lower heel really make this ladylike shoe stand out.

Shoe stories 

Cinderella

cindy3Where would Cinderella be without her glass slippers?

cindy11



Actually, the glass slipper was the invention of French writer Charles Perrault. Some people theorize that Perrault mistranslated the tale and Cinderella's slippers were actually made of fur, squirrel fur in fact. But there really is no right answer.

Every culture--from China to Africa--has its own version of the Cinderella tale. But the stories all involve shoes.

The brothers Grimm gave Cindy gold slippers or slippers embroidered with silk and silver.

Whatever. The moral of the story is, obviously: Your shoes can make you or break you.

Kicking off my shoes 

I love taking off my shoes as much as I love shoes. I do it unconsciously: At home, at work, or at the movies. My feet, apparently, have a need to be free. You know how some people are always looking for their keys? Or their glasses? I'm always looking for my shoes. The first thing I do when I get home is take off my shoes and put on a pair of slippers or flip flops. (If my shoes are particularly binding, I might take them off in the car. I tend to have at least one or two pairs of shoes in my car at any given time.) Later, I'll unconsciously slip out of my flip flops, get up to perform some stupid task, notice that my feet are unshod and go into my closet for another pair. This can go on for hours until at the end of the night I look around and see that I've left a trail of shoes around the house, some of them kicked off in mid-stride as though the person wearing them had suddenly been vaporized while heading to the kitchen.

Requiem for galoshes 

I'd say I was born at the end of the era of the galosh. We wore galoshes as children and they were awful. It took forever to get the rubber boot up over your shoe and then there was a mighty struggle in the school cloakroom to get them back off. A friend would pull while you braced yourself by holding onto the bench. After much tugging, the galosh and the shoe it was protecting would come off and you had to spend another few minutes digging your shoe out from the galosh's rubber embrace. You had to take them off, because your feet would be swimming in a pool of sweat if you left them on. As I recall, my sister and I fought bitterly with my mother about wearing them.
