Never Met a Pair of Jimmy Choo's I Didn't Like

There are so many interesting shoe designs. While I applaud the creativity of the human mind, I believe it should be put to good use. I understand the importance of a good shoe. I know why creativity is significant. Why wouldn't I be able to comprehend how a shoe can change the way you feel about your day? Oh, I do! I just do not know why I would want my shoes to pick up radio waves or play mp3's!

I have suffered for some sassy shoes, but let's not get rediculous. Toe shoes? I cannot possibly understand the purpose of these; they look ugly and painful. I am sorry, but there must be a purpose to wear a pair of shoes. Whether the reason is comfort or class, it must exist.


How about these? Foot gloves is what they are called. No, no, no! How about comfort while looking like bigfoot? Sound good to you? Not unless it's a costume party.


The several inches it adds to one's height are for pictures only. They are impossible to walk in. They are not an interesting color. The heel is not pleasing to the eye or the leg. There are strings to lace up the back of the thigh, and the foot is at a horrible arch. These are what I call serious platforms. I would also call them uncomfortable, unsightly, uninteresting, and useless.

PLEASE! These are mere examples of poor taste and wasted of efforts. The world could use some of the ingenuity it took to make these pointless pairs of footwear and put it to good use! Style a shoe that grows with the child and save the parent some money. Why not make a shoe that gives the benefits of a heel with the comfort of a flat? Give me a stiletto that will not sink into the grass! Why can we not use that crazy imagination for something useful? Being very blunt, there are some people that have talent to tackle the tricky shoe trade.


Take Valentino for instance. He has some beautiful shoes. I don't really care for pink, but I adore these shoes. I want them in the worst possible way! They are fun, flirty, and feminine--in other words, fantastic! I just cannot stop looking at them!



Jimmy Choo shoes are the ultimate. Many people have seen the movie "Devil Wears Prada." (Fantastic film, by the way, if only for the shoes!) In it, Anne Hathaway's character, Andy, wears a pair of Jimmy Choo boots. Suddenly, she's a bombshell, a knockout, a fashionista! Jimmy Choo's would do that for anyone. Look at this ankle boot and tell me, if you can, that there is not raw talent in this designer!


Another Jimmy Choo is not for the faint at heart. This specific shoe borders the line of over the top, even for me. While I have yet to find a pair of heeled oxfords I would buy for myself, these shoes are as close as I have found. Indeed, only those with the most interesting of fashion sense would wear them or even find them attractive. Oh, Jimmy, how well you know me...

Shoes say something about the personality of a person. If you choose to wear shoes sporting speakers, it is your right. I suppose, in a sense, true fashion is the way an item makes you feel and not how it looks. Although there are several things I will never understand, I guess it is acceptable to like ugly shoes.
