IMELDIFIC CRAVINGS




Shoe addict. That’s what I am.

Most girlaloos are very passionate when it comes to choosing shoes. I put a premium on the design rather than comfort. I’m so into shoes, so much that it’s therapeutic whenever the world gets heavy. Shoes make everything lighter. Pointed pencil heels make me happy and sexier despite the hurt and strain I get from wearing. Different colors reflect my mood. I just can’t imagine life without shoes.


When it comes to appreciating the shoes’ appearances, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. However, fashion can be parceled into five separate categories as described by Footwear Guru William A. Rossi. How do your favourite shoes fit into these?

  • Shape. The shape of the shoe is governed by the shape of the last. Other important factors include everything from the heel height to the toe shape to the length of the vamp.
  • Design. Although the last may be the same, the design of the shoe determines whether it's a sandal or a lace-up. The design element is where the creative talent is most shown.
  • Materials. This category includes texture, weight, surface grain, and finish.
  • Color. There are over 17,000 individually listed colors. The reflective tone and use of contrasting colors have effect on the overall color of the shoe.
  • Ornamentation and Treatment. Ornamentation includes buckles, buttons, straps, bows, and tassels: the "little touches" that add to a shoe's general character.

Regardless, when I’ve already chosen my shoes of the day,,,, as long as it fits,,, it’s with me ‘til the end of the day.

Trivia: The average increase in the protrusion of a woman's buttocks is 25% when she wears high heels.

Nine out of ten women wear shoes that are too small, according to the same survey.
