Pumps – A Shoe For Every Occasion
From Imelda Marcos to Hollywood celebs, a large collection of shoes is now standard in most women’s closets. The truth of the matter is that women require more shoes than men, and since we wear different pairs of shoes each pair gets less wear, and we keep our shoes longer. Men replace their shoes, women don’t and we don’t throw things away either. The fact the women own lots of shoes is merely a consequence of having too many clothes, which is an entirely different issue.
Sitting Shoes vs Walking Shoes
If you’re going to be doing a lot of walking, teetering in a pair of sky-high stilettos is not a good idea. Even the most beautiful shoes aren’t worth pain or a fall, save them for a sit-down-date. Walking aside, you can still look fabulous. Styles that are great for hoofing it are flats and lace-ups. Many flats come in ornamented styles with fancy embellishments on the toe, some that are even interchangeable! Go for a pair of fancy flats when you want comfort, but don’t want to look frumpy.
