There
is no doubt about the fact that women love footwear. There are many women who
cannot drive past a shoe store without dropping by to lookup the newest trends
and buying a brand new pair of shoes. Have you ever passed by a shoe sale? Well
if you have, you must have noticed that the parking lot is full, and women walking
out with shoe boxes piled high.
Today,
women make a style statement with their clothes and shoes. Shoes reflect a woman’s
personality in addition to providing comfort and style. A fantastic pair of
shoes and a beautiful woman makes a perfect combination of beauty, fashion and
style. Women's footwear represents their personality and lifestyle. Therefore,
shoes play an important role in women's world.
Women's
footwear is available in a wide range of styles, colors, and designs. Usually a
woman's closet is filled with different pairs of shoes because most women
prefer to wear different designs and styles according to the occasion. Some of
the most common styles of women's footwear include sneakers, sandals, leather
boots, pumps, slip-on shoes, running shoes, short boots, harness boots, high
heel shoes and cowboy boots.
Shoe designers have to work very hard to come up with new designs for women’s footwear. Every year, designers design shoes in every category including sandals, high heels, sneakers, spikes, pumps, and wedges. Women are always on the lookout for the latest designs and the freshest looks for which they are willing to pay high prices.
A majority
of women's footwear is not designed for support and comfort. As a matter of
fact, most designs in women’s footwear are designed for the looks or perhaps for
the shock value. Comfort and support are generally not taken into consideration
when high fashion and style are at stake. The surprising part is that women are
willing to pay hundreds and in some cases, thousands of dollars for the latest
trends in women’s footwear.
There
are some women who hardly give though to footwear and prefer to wear more
affordable and comfortable footwear and choose comfort over style. However, shoes
do play a vital role in building an overall personality of a woman. Today,
