Shoe Sight...

I don't think I need to mention what "Shoes" are for women. I still don't get why men really can't differentiate between pumps and sandals, they just count them as shoe. So, every time I buy a new pair of shoe, he tells me, you already own 28 pairs, which is more than your age, why can't you be contented! I fail to make him understand why I need them....though I never have guilty! I know that must be a very similar story for most of you.

The most important thing is that shoes must be chosen cleverly, my shoes last a two-three, so, each and every piece I choose has to be perfect, versatile and comfortable. If you are not tall, there is nothing wrong if you want to wear heels, if you can't carry those high heels, wear platforms, usually platforms are1-1.5 inches and 4-5 inch heels, so, do the math. If a shoe has 4 inches of heel and has 1.5 inches of platform , you are actually wearing 2.5 inches heels, which is easier to carry on as well.

A few tips when taking care of your shoes:1).rotate the shoes–never wear the same pair two days in a row, and if possible, run a “full cycle” of seasonally appropriate shoes before going back to wear a pair.

2). never leave your shoes close to a vent or a source of heat/dry air–heat and dry air are the enemy of leather; 3).store your shoes in a closed space, to avoid dust and protect them.
