"It's a bit odd if you don't know what the shoes that you wear represent." (Brigitta Makk - letmetellmystories, Expression, fashion, passion, 28/02/11, http://www.letmetellmystories.blogspot.com)
I really was thinking about this statement for a long time. I'm not quite sure, that people really know what they shoes represent, but I'm certain about how there can be many people described by their shoes. Ever since I read this article, I've been looking around checking people's shoes. I was doing some kind of an observation. Based only on my own opinion, let me share my favorite categories of foot-ware :
- Brown, ladder or ladder-like, laid back shoes with the strings lazily hanging: at the university I saw most of these. The owners were as laid back as their shoes, comfortably walking around in a pair of comfortable shoes, in their comfortable work.
- Many kinds of higher than high heels: Many girls picked these for coming to the university. I saw no sing of comfort, but confidence. These shoes helped their posture, straigtened their backs and lenghtened their legs. These positive effencts only happened if they were aware of the right usage of these pretty pieces of footware. Sometimes though some fell to the whaggy swamp of loosing balance. Careful ladies!
- Ballerina foot-gears: Primarly I saw those with pretty-coloured, sometimes flower-patterened clothes or extra tight jeans. Those seemed really comfy too, ecept for some toes in pain from the owner's shoes being new. People were comfortably walking around in them.
- Sneakers: Somehow I feel like the status of the shoes was mostly directly proportional to the other pieces of clothing. Old, used sneekers, punk-stuff, new, shiny sneekers, fashion stuff.
There are obviously a dozen of other types of shoes, and I might be wrong about the shoe-personality relation. Based on Brigi's statement, this is my opinion about this weird connection, but I would rather say that shoes represent us, but in the majorty of time it's something unconcious. We don't buy shoes to be represented, but rather we buy it by our own special taste, and that's exactly what represents our personality and mirrors in our style.
I am always amazed by the ability of some, who can walk in high heels. I must be the comfortable type because after an hour of struggling in pretty shoes I always die. :D
