If there’s one thing that women love more than shopping, more than chocolate and more than devilishly indulgent designer handbags, it’s the perfect pair of women’s boots. From the fresh-out-of-the-box smell to the svelte heel, the glossy finish and the pure pleasure of slipping a pair on for the very first time, shoes will always be a girl’s best friend.
There are few words that can induce endorphins like the mention of Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin and Manolo Blahnik. The Sex and the City girls wouldn’t be caught without their designer heels and a simple pair of shoes even helped Cinderella on her way to true love. So just what is it about these glorious peep-toed pieces of heaven that make a woman shiver with delight?
The perfect pair of shoes doesn’t just show off your pins, it makes your legs look longer, slimmer and more toned. Great women’s shoes create the illusion of luxuriously long limbs – giving the average woman an air of mystery and an aura of elegant allure. From Kelly Brooke to Katy Perry, a woman’s legs have the power to captivate and enthrall. Add a sexy pair of heels and your average man just doesn’t stand a chance against the power of the platform.
A pair of statement shoes doesn’t have to be expensive and that’s where the high street steps in as your well-heeled hero. Brands like French Connection and Kurt Geiger promise killer heels in chic fabrics. From patent finishes to stunning suede exteriors, a simple pair of heels is the perfect party pick. An embellished shoe adds shimmer to your look for an eye-catching outfit that steals the show. Go glam with Miss KG, Fred Perry or Fly London.
Not all of you love a heel and there’s nothing worse than teetering around town in a pair of platforms when that’s just not your thing. Thanks to brands like Hush Puppies, Clarks and Rocketdog, there are a range of ultra fashionable flats out there with gorgeous embellished detail that’s trendy, comfy and stylish. A pair of strappy sandals by leading brand Clarks will outlast the season, and is a comfortable alternative to the 5-inch heel.
Women’s shoes have changed femininity forever. A simple pair of shoes gives us girls the fearless confidence to stand tall and express our own style –making a man or two weak at the knees in process.
