Shoe Love is True Love

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UW Stout chapter.

Why DO girls like shoes so much? Carrie Bradshaw’s shoe addiction was infamous. Yet what was it about these Manolo Blahniks that fueled her need to shop?

 

 

Carrie knew that it was about so much more than making a great outfit.  She understood what a great pair of heels could do for a person. Although she isn’t the best role model when it comes to spending habits, she knew a thing or two about how shoes could make your walk through life a little more fun.

So what is it about them?

 

 

The right pair of shoes can give a girl all the confidence in the world. Whether it is 3 inches of heel or a comfy pair of flats, shoes can pull out the best of you.  Shoes can bring out the most daring side of you. Just like Cinderella, who wore what were probably some very uncomfortable glass slippers. With these glass slippers she finally had the courage to go and follow her heart and even meet a guy along the way.

Shoes are powerful, just as Dorothy learned during her time in Oz. They bring out an inner strength that some of us may never even realize we had. With the right pair of shoes you may find yourself standing a little straighter and your head held a little higher.
