Ladies and their shoes maybe we don’t all try to out do Imelda Marcos but lets be honest most ladies love to shoe shop , usually for several different reasons. First of all, most ladies really like to look good, we like to accessorize and color coordinate our outfits with shoes and matching purses. Shoes can really make a big difference to an outfit the kind of shoe one chooses can make the same outfit either formal or informal staid or sexy. Secondly, buying shoes is a great form of retail therapy that no woman can resist. Unlike shoes for men , shoe companies create ladies shoes in a wide variety of styles and types , strongly encouraging women to feel that they are “expected” to wear certain types of shoes for certain occasions but lets not blame the manufacturers too much most ladies are quite happy with the notion of certain shoes for certain occasions Basically, we quite enjoy the perception of necessity ,that we need more shoes, so we can feel justified and our consciences don’t prick when we shop for the ever increasing new ranges of ladies shoes that the shoe manufactures release each season.

Secrets Our Grannies Knew About Choosing Ladies Shoes

We must avoid shoes with ankle straps as most ladies shoes with ankle straps will give a girl the appearance of having shorter legs and fatter ankles. Of course all women want longer thinner legs – so forgo the ankle straps ladies if you want your legs to look longer and slimmer.

Shoes that have heels even if they are not very big ones, tend to make legs look thinner, there’s no doubt about it if you want to appear slimmer, a little added height even from a small heel will aid considerably. Added to this pointy toed shoes will also make legs seem longer. If legs look longer, they will also look skinnier- so shoes with pointy toes will also help make legs seem longer.

So, even if you feel your legs are long enough, if it’s slimmer legs you’re after then you have no alternative than buying shoes that look more or less like these, well perhaps not exactly like this ,these shoes are designed in the late 1950s Paris , by Roger Vivier for a Christian Dior collection this particular pair of ladies shoes you can only find on display in a museum in paris.
It may now be 60 years on but things don’t change much in shoe fashion . they just recirculate to a new generation. When I was 15 I remember wearing plat form soles to school when not caught by the teachers that was roughly 30 some years ago but whats in again right now in ladies shoes platform soles, my daughters don’t believe it when I tell them there’s nothing new. Even the oddest creations of today’s shoe world are not new
Well they might not be spot on in some cases but they certainly bear some very strong design similarities. Personally I’m waiting for the granny boot to recirculate back into being trendy ladies shoes once again I like them and I still have a pair from last time.
