You can never have too many pairs of shoes. The more shoes the merrier. We think that shoes are massively underrated. If we’re torn between buying a fancy handbag, posh dress or a pair of new shoes, the shoes will always win.
Sometimes, we can feel bad about buying yet another pair of shoes. Do you really need those loafers that are almost the same as your other ones? Or another pair of trainers, even though you never exercise? Yes, yes you do. Here’s why we love shoes.
They Look Good
You know that the shoes you buy are going to look good. Whether you’ve already bought several from the same brand (like fabulous and reliable Novo shoes, for example) or you’re taking the plunge with something new, if they look good on the model, they’ll look good on you. So, you might not have the effortlessly toned body of Kate Middleton, but your feet probably aren’t much different. Unlike other areas of our bodies, shoes do what they say on the tin and always look good. No need to worry about unflattering styles here, folks.
They Provide Information
This may sound strange, but you can tell a lot about a person based on the shoes they’re wearing, and how they take care of them. Someone wearing muddy, holey or smelly shoes probably doesn’t care much about fashion or looking after their possessions. But someone with stylish, clean and sophisticated footwear might be a little more caring.
They Always Fit
Ok, so some shoes rub us up the wrong way and give us blisters. But, unlike clothes, we know how shoes are going to fit. We know our shoe size, and most brands stick to universal sizing. This means that buying shoes is so much easier than buying clothes – especially online. There’s nothing more upsetting than buying a pair of trousers that we love that don’t fit right and we have to return. With shoes, if we know we’re a size 7, the size 7 will probably fit. Hurrah!
They Perfect the Outfit
We can spend hours deliberating over what pair of shoes to wear. They’re important in perfecting the outfit and making us feel good about what we’re wearing. There’s no point spending loads of money on a fancy dress if you’re going to wear scuffed sandals with it. Shoes take a great outfit and make it fabulous. If in doubt, it’s best to try a few options. Hence, the need for a full closet full of shoes. On our wedding day, I spent SO much time deliberating on the perfect shoe to fit the theme of our wedding and pull together my entire wedding dress. Here is our story on the perfect shoes for brides.
They give us confidence
There’s nothing better than strutting down a corridor feeling like a total boss in our favourite pair of shoes. Whether that’s a pair of sneakers, heels or sandals, shoes can up our game and give us the confidence boost we didn’t know we needed. Comfortable and stylish shoes that put a bounce in our step and make us grin every time we look down are worth investing in. Life’s too short to wear bad shoes. Take a cue from the Kardashians who have been famously been wearing shoes made of clear plastic that look extremely uncomfortable, but give them confidence!
