In Love With Shoes

Ranked #5,736 in Fashion & Beauty, #93,497 overall

Can a woman ever have too many??

Have you seen that movie entitled "In Her Shoes"? One scene features a closet full of designer shoes that would make a grown woman positively drool. While I admit, I do have a thing for shoes, but I am nothing like my daughter. She COLLECTS shoes and still has pairs of cowboy boots that she owned when she was in the seventh grade and yes, she still wears them. That might not seem odd to you, but she's 30 years old. She claims that they are well broken in and are comfortable. Guess I can't argue with that. And that closet I was talking about... well, my daughter's shoe closet puts mine to shame!

In Love With Shoes...

I love shoes... is there a woman out there who doesn't? And I like to know about shoes too. I have even visited shoe museums... very cool. And the more you learn about shoes, the smarter you get lol! Whatever your reason for loving shoes... do one little thing each and every day and by the end of the year, you have learned/accomplished so much. And to your amazement, you will suddenly find people that are turning to your for advice or hints about the latest trends! I certainly don't know everything there is to know on the topic, but what I do know, I'm more than willing to share.

Oddly enough I think that I have the most fun looking for the latest info. For some reason, I find research fascinating. It takes a lot of work, but you just never know what you are going to find once you go looking. And the more it's buried, the better I like it!!

You simply need to know where to look lol! I hope that you join me on a regular basis. I have lots to share... and I'm just getting started!

An Odd Shoe Superstition

Apparently in years gone by, it customary (on Halloween night) to take your shoe by the tip and throw it over your house. (Must have been very tiny houses at the time) Now, check the direction the toe points and that is the direction of your fortune. Now for the bad part. If the shoe lands sole up, you might want to rethink your path. There is bad luck waiting at the end of the road if you follow that path.

Break Your Flip Flops In Slowly

Where I live, it's JUST getting warm enough to wear flip flops, but after an entire day in them, I have welts on the top of my feet where the straps are rubbing. What I should have done is to wear the flip flops around the house for a few hours a day to let my feet get used to them again.

As it is, I'm losing time having to allow my feet to heal before I can begin wearing them again! So, this is one... do as I say and not what I do. :(

If I Had Lived in Ancient Greece

Shoes have been around about as long as man has walked the earth. I will be exploring what kind of shoes I might have worn throughout the ages, and the first pair that caught my eye were these.

If I had lived in ancient Greece, this is the sort of sandal I might have worn. As you can see, the flip flop can be traced back to this particular sandal.

I Remember When They Used To X-Ray Kids Feet

I must have been about six years old and I remember making a special trip Lindsay, Ontario to buy new shoes for school. In those days (and it makes me shudder to think that they actually did this) the sales person would make you stand on this box with your new shoes buckled onto your feet. The foot would then be inserted into what looked like mouse holes. Here's where it gets interesting. They were x-raying the feet of each child to see if the shoes were big enough.

Luckily the x-ray machine was pulled from the stores a few years later. Have no idea how much if any damage was done, but it does make you wonder what tests are being done on us today that are bad for our health??

When to buy Shoes

Never buy your shoes in the morning. Wait until the afternoon when your feet are at their "normal" size. In the morning they tend to be at least a half size larger.

Have You Ever Wondered??

Those running shoes that you just shelled out $85.00 for... did you ever wonder how long they are supposed to last?? Apparently if you wear them strictly for exercise purposes, they should last you about 400 miles, but you can half that if you wear them as your casual, daily shoe (which most of us do)

I wonder how many miles that a normal person walks in a year? As I try to clock at least 10,000 steps a day, I think I might be in need of a new pair of runners.

You Don't Have to Catch the Bouquet

I always thought that the single woman who catches the bridal bouquet would be the next to be married, but I just found another superstition. If you are the one to find a shoe to tie to the back of the wedding car... guess what. You are next in line!!

... that Jimmy Choo sold 50% of his business a few years ago for 10 million pounds. That means that he still owns 50 percent, has a lot of play money at the moment and positively everyone has heard of him by now. Hmmm, might be worth checking into how he got started and see what you can pick up!

Wouldn't it be nice!
