A woman's right to shoes!

[dia222]

Here's my humble collection...

I have started as any normal woman who loves shoes, buying everything and anything i liked...then i started focusing on brands and high end shoes...

Unfortunatelly i do not have pics of my "previous" collection, but i do have pictures of the actual one.

I had to take low res photos so i can upload them....quality is not the best, but....it's the thought that counts :d

Here goes:

Very nice! You clearly have more of a heel tolerance than I do, but that picture of the ballet flats and loafers with the TOD's and Prada made me drool.

I am only 5'5"....heels give me a different..."perspective"

I love Gucci for their design and glam, but i rarely find Gucci models that have heels under 3". I preffer Gucci pumps or med heel to over 3" models.

I love Louboutin, but i think i would need to take special classes in order to be able to walk in them )

My fav right now is Prada....The black Prada loafers/flats are my latest aquisition Comfy and chic.

Dia222, Oh my, what a beautiful collection! I notice you have a few pointy toed shoes...I like their lengthening effects, but find that the tip wears out too quickly, mostly because I'm clumsy. What's your secret for keeping such well maintained shoes?

LOL, I love your comment on getting a different perspective. At 5'3", I need all the help I can get but have difficulty being comfortable in heels for an extended period of time.

Well, at the beginning i used to have the same problem....that's why i was buying mostly light brown shoes....so i could cover the damaged tips with shoes polish

I have started buying brand shoes two years ago, so i guess that that also "influenced" my walk. Paying 300 dollars for a pair of shoes can make you change your "walking habbits" ).

Then i got better, i started walking more carefully. I used to stumble a lot, on stairs mostly )

I remember i bought once a pair of beautiful black wooden wedges...I went at a party with them...by the end of the evening the tip was all chapped off...i tried black marker, but it didn't do much

I like pointy shoes, but not too long and pointy....the thinner and pointier it is, harder and more painfull they are.

Now, as my walking got better and my shoes look like new for at least a year i got a new problem, my heels wear fast...i think that the weight i used to "carry" on my tips switched to my heels

My favourite brand, for reasons of design and heel height is Prada, i could walk in them for hours and not feel a thing.

Next is Gucci, but only a few models, the ones that have a medium heel.

You always need a balance between the sole and the heel, if the heel is very high and the sole very thin you're in for a lot of pain. Plus, when you wear sandals that have thin soles and high heel your toes look bad...they turn red, yellow )) too much pressure on them. You get tired easily and you feel very uncomfortable.

I am not for casual shoes, snickers, tennis shoes (only if i jog or go to gym, which i never do )) or going to the market.

An expensive pair of shoes (material, brand, design quality) will make any regular outfit look chic.

I would rather invest in a stunning pair of shoes than in an expensive bag

My lastest "investment" is a pair of Ltd Edt Gucci sandals with Swarovski crystals....

Not comfy, but gorgeous

Here they are:

You have a nice collection. Keep up with the high end shoes they look great.

Thank you!

I love shoes (in case you haven't noticed) and i take great care of them.

I have recently found a store in Bruxelles (I live in Luxembourg) where the have 60% discount on all major brands: Casadei, Stuart Weitzman, Gucci, Prada, Alaia...

It's crazy, i know, the second i got in, i knew that if Heaven existed IT HAD to look like that.

There were hundreds of sandals and pumps.....i couldn't get enough of it.

Think New York Century 21 with 60% off.....it's insane. The price vary between 130-200 dollars.

They have a HUGE choice and whether you like funky colors, sky high heels, flats, pumps, leather or patent don't worry, they have it all.

For someone who is size 7-7.5 this is THE SHOE STORE. I am size 7 and it happened to me more than once to find a gorgeous pair of shoes only to find out that my size was not available.

If you ever go to Bruxelles this store has to be on your TO DO list.
