shoes vs men
November 1st 2007 03:41
At first glance, boys and shoes have very little in common, but if you look more closely, most girls will recognize some very similar characteristics. Shoes and boys have been two major fascinations for most females around the world, probably since the time we got out of the trees and stood upright. And that’s not where the similarities end.
Just as there are good shoes, there are good boys. And just as there are bad shoes, there are bad boys. When it comes to shoes and boys, choices can sometimes be difficult, and when we’re so very picky about what goes on our feet, heaven knows how most of us manage to settle for a mere mortal man at all.
There are few things that compare to that new shoe feeling, and the absolute glee that accompanies the purchase of a magnificent pair of stilettos, pumps or designer label clogs. Shoes can make or break your outfit, your mood, your whole day.
In fact, shoes are a lot like boys.
Just like some boys, there are the fabulous shoes you have to have the instant you see them. They may not fit quite right, and they may not really go with anything else you own, but there’s something about them you have to have. You may tire of these shoes within a couple of weeks, or it might take a couple of months, but ultimately no matter how good they look, and no matter how hard you try to break them in, they will continue to hurt your feet, and you will end up leaving them behind for a better pair.
And then, there is the ultimate pair. The Louis Vuittons, the Manolo Blahniks, the Jimmy Choos. These are the worth waiting for shoes and if necessary, you will live only on crackers for a month in order to have them. Everything about them makes you swoon. And once you find them, you realize they go just as well with your jeans as your favourite dress. These shoes lift your spirits every time you put them on, and you could even be accused of strutting when you are seen out in public with them. You don’t get bored of these shoes, and your friends wish they’d seen them first.
But thankfully, there is one similarity that shoes and boys do not share. Thankfully, we can have as many pairs of wonderful shoes as we like stuffed into our cupboards, and we can (and often do) wear as many fabulous pairs as possible in a 24-hour period without raising too many eyebrows.
So realistically, shoes are actually better than boys. And just like Nancy Sinatra warned the men of the world all those years ago, our shoes are made for walking, and unless boys live up to the Manolo standard we deserve, walking all over men is exactly what our fine footwear will do.
