Day 43: For the Love of Shoes

I love shoes.  I love them so much that at one point, I owned over a hundred pairs (Yes, Imelda?).  I no longer own over a hundred pairs.  I have grown more meticulous when buying shoes.  I look more at a pair's durability and ability to hold me up when I need them.  Most of the time, my shoes would not fail me.  That's one reason why I love them.  They're very good friends.  They compliment me, too.  A good pair of shoes can make you feel good about yourself.  My favorite quote on shoes came from the manga Hana Yori Dango.  One character advised the heroine, "Wear good shoes, and those shoes will take you to good places."  It has truth to it.  My favorite pairs have accompanied me to every good place and moment I had in life. 

I chose the pair above, because I like brogues.  I like wearing men's items and making them feminine.  I've been called a tomboy because of it.  I guess, some people have never heard of the term 'androgyny'.  Also, since it's Valentine's weekend, the pair made a pretty good heart-shaped image hanging like that.
