WHAT DO THE SHOES WE WEAR TELL US ABOUT WHO WE ARE?

Do you remember Carrie Bradshaw, her fashion style, and how many shoes she owned? How she had a pair for every occasion, whether she went shopping with Samantha, had a cup of coffee with Charlotte, or went on a date with Mr. Big? And this got me thinking: do shoes have their own personality? Do they say something about the person who wears them? What are some trendy shoe types? Or are shoes just shoes? You put them on, walk out the door, and that is that. What do shoes tell about you and your personality?

DRESS SHOES – MADE FOR STYLISH WOMEN

Dress shoes are made for professionals. For mature, good-looking, and confident people that believe in themselves and their dreams. For people who trade comfort for style. Whether they are in a board meeting or contemplating their next merger, these are the goal-oriented people who go after their target, and nothing and nobody will get in their way of accomplishing their mission. A reliable individual who is everybody’s and is not afraid to take control of the conversation. A good orator as well as a sharp dresser. Or if you just want to wear dress shoes, wear them with some preppy clothes for a stroll into town on a beautiful spring day and you will look fabulous.

SLIP-ONS – SHOES MADE FOR EVERYTHING

Women who wear slip-ons believe that being comfortable is the key to footwear without neglecting style. They are the ones that are easy to get along with. Surrounded by friends but don’t like to be the center of attention and yet don’t want to look too bland. They are easy to talk to and have many friends but don’t like to be stepped on. Slip-ons are not only super comfortable for these fashionistas but are also a trend that they are creating whether intentionally or inadvertently; they are passionate entrepreneurs who believe that individuality is the key to a successful life.

STREET SHOES – THERE IS A “PUNK” IN ALL OF US

The streetwear style shoes define the young generation of women as one that fills its closets with Nike, Vans, and New Balance. While only in their teens or early twenties, they are the women of the future. They will be the ones who will cure cancer, invent the car that runs on water, and find a way to travel from London to Tokyo in 30 minutes or less. But until that day arrives, they will dress up in hippie clothes and enjoy the latest fashion trends. Fit in with the crowd and, in two words, “stay cool” because the future can wait for one more day.

FLATS – BECAUSE COMFORT IS YOUR #1 GOAL

Women who wear flats are easygoing, modest, intelligent, and kind. While life is hard, they are focused on where they are going and nothing will stop them from achieving their dreams. They are the ones who believe in the beauty of their dreams and give everything to achieve their goals. If you are motivated and work hard, no goal is impossible to achieve. Because shoes are not just shoes, they are an art

RUNNING SHOES – FOR THE ONES WHOSE BEST FRIEND IS THE OPEN ROAD

Sometimes you just need the open road. You wake up before the sun comes up, put on a pair of comfortable running shoes, and just hit the open road. Because the road does not care how you look, the road does not mind that you have only 30 minutes to run on a busy day full of activities. The road wants you to be yourself: a hard-working, goal-oriented woman who will give her 110% but for 30 minutes a day, lets the world fly by. Just you, a pair of running shoes, and the open road.

$100+ SNEAKERS – BECAUSE STYLE DOESN’T HAVE A PRICE

Have you ever been to the store and see that one pair of shoes that if you don’t buy, you can’t sleep nor eat until that pair is in your hands? Just take that almost maxed-out credit card and make a statement because being up to date with the current trends is your life’s goal. If you are that person, then no price is too high for a pair of sneakers because if you have that pair, you can be anybody you want to be. Women’s fashion sneakers are now the talk of town. Coming in many styles and shapes, these shoes are amazing to wear for all occasions. Full of energy, fearless, and ageless, you are unique in a world of mundane people wearing a pair of no-name black shoes. Life is too short to be ordinary.

HEELS – FOR THE SEX GODDESS IN YOU

What is sexier than a pair of high heels? Is there anything sexier than a powerful woman? Skipped prom to study for her college entrance exam, and now she is at the top of her game, confident, and glamorous with a hint of sexiness; what is the point of wearing heels if you can’t feel sexy? While you are open to any type of conversation, you still hide that ten percent of secrecy. And when you wear that casual outfit and you notice all the heads turning, you know that, in three words, you… are… hot! And your shoes are too!

DIRTY CONVERSE – SOME PEOPLE CAN’T BE STOPPED

If you enjoy a pair of dirty Converse, you’re old-school. You want classic things, affordable clothes, and simple outfits. As a unique and relaxed person, you don’t care what others think about you.

These shoes go with every femboy outfit in your closet. Just wear your FUBU hoodie, put a pair of ripped jeans on and wear your decade-old dirty converse because who cares about fashion.

BIRKENSTOCK SANDALS – BECAUSE FOUR WALLS AREN’T YOUR THING

While being extremely comfortable, Birkenstock sandals are for women who enjoy the outdoors. The people who are all about a life full of activities and being in nature. Comfort is the foremost reason you buy sandals, and as a laid-back person relaxing with a cup of coffee and a magazine, this might just be what the doctor orders.

CHUKKAS – FOR THE ARTISTS AND DREAMERS OF TOMORROW

These laid-back shoes are made for the hipsters who wear shoulder bags and are passionate about coffee while enjoying a more classic look. As a life learner by trade, who wears femboy outfits daily, you could not care what others think or say because the mainstream is not for you.

WESTERN BOOTIE – WE GONNA ROCK THIS COUNTRY

You are laid back, and you like cute shoes; a stylish girly girl who likes to wear clothes that flatter your figure. Imaginative and somewhat artsy, you creatively express yourself. As an attention seeker, you always try to look your best. A beauty by nature, you are also graceful, warm, and kind. Your imagination is your primary asset, and if the world doesn’t give you what you seek, you are ready to create your own: just you, a pair of jeans, and some cool western boots.

OFF BRAND SNEAKERS – SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED TO TELL THE WORLD TO @#%$ OFF

Who don’t care how popular or unpopular their shoes are; the only thing that matters is the affordability and comfort-ability of what they wear. Damn the haters if your feet feel good.

Whether you wear teenage clothes or casual outfits, never forget the shoes, their personality and how you feel in them. When it comes to a passion for fashion, it only matters how you feel and how happy you are. Because if the shoes you wear don’t make you happy nothing else matters.
