Fancy Footwork

(Disclaimer this is going to be a very long-winded post on how much I love shoes.)

I love shoes I am a big shoe person, I love them on me and I love them on other people(I just love a pretty pair of shoes on a pretty girl) and my definition of shoes = heels, flats and boots (I hate sneakers although I own one sorry sis). I even sometimes appreciate men’s footwear( I mean a lot of times I think they are ugly) I see a good looking pair and I have to acknowledge good craftsmanship.

I think of my shoes as my children …I love them they love me. It is a very loving relationship. In fact, I wish I had extra feet. 

Brief History

I remember every (ok that is a lie, almost every shoe) I have owned in the last 17years and every envious thought I have had on shoes. my fave all time shoe is the red shoes I had when I was 7 maybe 8 I called them my tap dancing shoes and it had a red button where the buckle would go, I outgrew those shoes :(  if I had my way i would still be wearing it. Ok big secret I never told the shoes after the red shoes that I didn’t really like them, they wear black and shiny with a jewel like thing on them (I hate those things because well sometimes they fall off). I told my mum to put her shoes aside for me as part of my inheritance when I was 10(I remember because it was my 10^th birthday and I wanted to wear one of her shoes). On Sundays in church during thanksgiving (it’s a Nigerian thing we are thankful for everything especially on Sundays “oh my son can walk” then we celebrate in church) I would watch the women’s feet as they are walking by   sighing and saying to myself that I would own pretty shoes too. Another big secret when my sister Un, Deux and Trios went off to college I used to go to their room and wear their shoes. :)
