This little piggie wears patent

Everywhere I go, it seems, ladies are sporting shiny shoes. Out on Saturday night, my friend Amanda was wearing gold-and-cork wedge heels. I saw more than my fair share of women wearing the same towering Steve Madden patent leather pumps in blue, red and black. Even pumping weights at the gym, a potential member was being given a tour, sporting black capris and insanely high, glossy black stilettos. I almost knocked myself out doing bicep curls, so entranced was I by their shininess…and I’m a girl. I can hardly imagine the peril she was placing the men in – as my wedge-shoed friend Amanda always says, “Boys like shiny.” Those oafs were probably mesmerized.

OK, I’ll admit, I too have jumped onboard the tootsie train. I recently bought these badboys – but in red – and I love them, even thought I am nursing some serious blisters as we (commun)e-cate. Wearing them, with a pair of jeans and a black tank, makes me feel so damn sexy! Even though they’re peeptoes and I have 10 little digits that could each easily sub in for Medusa’s head, slipping on a pair of heels instantly makes me feel more confident, improves my posture, and helps me get drinks faster at the bar, as I tower over the other guys.

I’ve read that one of the reasons women have such passionate love affairs with shoes (I’m no Carrie Bradshaw, but I do see the appeal), is because they don’t typically change in size or rely on weight. Unlike, say, a pair of jeans that might get tight during your period or after the holiday throw-down, or a sports bra that reveals a bit of under-band bulge, shoes are our body-image friends. A size 9 is a size 9, give or take a smidge. It does not care what we ate for breakfast, or if we forgot to workout that day. Our shoes just want to comfort us, to get us where we need to go and, hopefully, to do it in style. Like a sugar daddy, but mute and free from sexual demands. Perfect!

Anyone else get a body-image boost from their shoes? Nikes, Manolos, Aerosoles…what does it for you?

PS Confession: Many of my girlfriends did the socially responsible thing and got pedicures this lovely weekend, so their toes were presentable/attractive. I, shamefully, did not. I have only once dipped my feet in that bubbling cauldron and wound up embarrassing myself as I laughed like a hyena for 20 minutes as my (very ticklish) feet we pumiced and rubbed. It was quite mortifying and so I fear I may be a lifelong DIY-er.

Shoe's can certainly be a girls best friend, even if she has weight issues. Personally, heels make me feel cute and confident, and anyone can find a pair that make their legs look great. My favorite ones are my nude colored heels, because they elongate my legs. Everyone should have a pair. :)

Wowza! That shoes you own are very HOT!

Nothing does it for me like a pair of high heeled black slingbacks. When they are paired with a pair of black Hanes silky sheers I feel like the 5'7'' size 14 Amazon that I am. And I have absolutely no shame and feel no need to apologize.

I love them all! My poor husband is seriously concerned about our financial future whenever I get home with a huge bag, usually containing at least one pair of shoes. I buy the comfy, funky colored flats, the casual going-to-the-movies sandals, the sexy only-strippers-could-wear heels, making my sisters jealous peep-toes, quirky shoes at the clearance isle that get more compliments than any other. Pedi's are a must! My friend says I have a foot-fetish, but I only like my feet, adorned in beautiful creations that magically transform my mood, especially these! http://www.seychellesfootwear.com/
I have the P.S. I love you kind in yellow! *Sigh When's pay-day again?

If any of you are feeling sore from rocking those fabulous heels, I just found this great tip at fitsugar.com: http://fitsugar.com/173026
It's a cute little inflatable foot bath for soaking anywhere, anytime. Genius!

PS ny nickname in high school was Amazon, Karen! Of course you have no reason to apologize...put on those slingbacks and make others around you bow in awe.
