There is no question about it - we love womens shoes. There are
even women who cannot drive past a shoe store with out dropping in to
buy a brand new pair of womens shoes. Have you ever driven past a shoe
store when there was a sale going on? The parking lot is packed, and the
way women walk out with boxes piled high, you would think that they
were giving the shoes away!

A woman makes a statement with her
shoes today. If you open the door of any average woman's closet, you
will be able to tell quite a bit about her - by checking out her shoes.
That scuffed up pair are her favorites. Those sneakers with the mud
caked on them are an indication that she may be a runner - or possibly a
gardener. If you see cowboy boots, she may ride horses, but if the
boots are in excellent condition - with no dirt, scuffs or dust - she is
probably into country and western dance. Are there a large number of
dress shoes in every color and size imaginable? She works in an office.
Our
shoes tell other people quite a bit about us - more than most people
realize. Tom Hanks, in Forest Gump said "Mama always said you could tell
an awful lot about a person by the kind of shoes they wear." And his
Mama was right! But this is a more accurate statement about women than
it is for men. Women have shoes to wear for every situation that life
may throw at them! A woman's shoes really go a long way towards telling
you who she is, what she is like, and what she does with her life.

In
the past, women envied each other over their outfits, the hairdo's, and
even their husbands! Today - the envy is in the shoes! Some women
refuse to tell other women where they shop for shoes! Some women search
far and wide - and pay very high prices - to find shoes that none of
their friends have or can find, or to find shoes that go perfectly with
an outfit - or an upcoming event! Shoe shopping and decisions today has
become a sort of madness among many women! The first thing a woman
notices about another woman is - you guess it - her shoes!
Shoe
designers are having to work double time to come up with fresh new
designs for womens footwear in every category each year - high heels,
sandals, sneakers, pumps, spikes, wedges - every type of womans shoe
that you can imagine! Women want the freshest looks, and the latest
designs, and they are willing to pay for them. Sometimes, however, they
pay at the cost of their feet!

The majority of women's shoes were
not designed for comfort or support - they were designed for looks - or
maybe even for shock value. Comfort and support are usually not taken
into consideration at all when high fashion is at stake. The strangest
part is that women pay hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of dollars
for shoes that are literally ruining their feet!
This fact alone
also says a lot about a woman. It says that the latest fashion may be
more important than overall health. Some of these shoes not only hurt
the feet that wear them, they often affect - and hurt - the backs of the
women who wear these shoes. Originally, shoes were meant to protect the
feet. Today, the designer shoes on the market do very little to protect
the feet - in fact, in many cases, a woman would be better off walking
bare foot - but women still buy the designs, and designers still come up
with more ways to skimp on the shoes and raise the prices - the less
shoe there actually is, the higher the price goes!
Take a little
time today and go open your closet door - or the closet door of the
woman you love. What do the womens shoes in that closet tell you about
yourself or that woman? You may even find some surprises if you are
checking out someone else's collection of shoes!
