I have to say that shoes, as a type of fashion, do seem of little importance. I know that everybody cares about whats on they're feet. Well, nearly everybody. But to me, shoes will always be JUST SHOES. I have a friend, and she is obsessed with shoes. Every day she wears her Doc Martins to school, and gets away with it! And when she sees a pair or converse, especially if it has a union jack on it, she will stop and just goggle at it.
Personally, I like trainers. I could get by with just one pair if I could. But for school trainers are banned (except in another of my friends case where her feet have tendinitus (probably spelt wrong) and she has to wear trainers to support her arches) and my white Filas would stick out like a sore thumb. So I have two pairs. Then my mum wants me wearing boots, so she bought me another (as of now, unworn) pair. Plus my slippers, which I have to wear as my dad wants me to and I am sure try to kill me as I walk up my stairs at home, makes about four pairs. Then if I go hiking I need Walking shoes.
It all seems way to complicated. What should anyone care if I wear trainers. And to wear shoes for fashion and not use seems to complicate it more. So thats why I think shoes should be JUST SHOES. Us worrying over tem just distracts us from other things.
If you would like to comment, please do. Otherwise I'm basically talking to myself.
Do you know what? I'm gonna do exactly what you did to me.
ReplyDelete1. I am not obsessed with shoes. If I see something awesome, I generally want to look at it. You want someone obsessed with shoes? Try someone who doesn't have size 7 wide fit feet with high arches.
2. Till now, I've looked at about one pair of Converse.
3. I wear Doc Martens to school for self defense reasons. Also, because they're one of the only shoes that fit me.
4. Converse ARE trainers, in case you haven't noticed
5. You need hiking boots instead of trainers. For one, the hiking boots laces are easier to clean (for trekking through mud and stuff), and hiking boots are much stronger and don't rub as much if you've been walking for hours.
6. I see shoes as a way to express our personality, not just to suit the fashion. Just you try and count how many times I've worn jeans, Doc Martens and a check shirt. Bet you won't be able to.
7. You don't worry about shoes. You look at them and if you like them, you buy them. Simple as.
8. And yes, I really am enjoying this.
OK well I like my friend has mentioned have tendinitis and do not have high arches and my feet are size six but I still have trouble with shoes for one thing some of them are ridiculously over priced but I still love my shoes anyway and will continue to get more even though I don't have any room for them.tehe
