Do Your Shoes Really Matter? |

| By Keith Barrett | ||||
I'm not a big fan of shoe shopping. I'm not quite sure why, but I never have been. There's something that I don't enjoy about the whole experience of walking into a shoe shop and picking out a shoe - why is there only ever one on display? You then have to ask the assistant for the other shoe, before putting them on and walking a few yards. Like everyone else, I go through this routine, stopping to look at myself in the mirror. The reality is that most footwear that I buy tends to leave me feeling uncomfortable at first. It seems almost inevitable that they'll rub against my heels or my toes. I wonder whether these problems arise because I have failed to try them on in the correct manner. Maybe if I'd spent more time ensuring that they were right then this could have been avoided. The thing is that doing so might involve spending more time in the shop, which I really don't like. I own a limited number of pairs of shoes and generally know which ones to wear, depending on the occasion. Some look good with jeans, while others are more suitable for formal occasions. I can't help but notice that some people seem to wear what I regard as inappropriate shoes. They might, for instance, wear training shoes to a job interview. This always strikes me as odd. Is this because they only have one pair of shoes, or is it because they woke up that morning and specifically opted for that pair? When it comes down to it, how much do your shoes really matter? I've taken to buying my formal shoes from Samuel Windsor online. It saves me from spending time in a shoe store. For me, this can only be a good thing. |
