Was just watching an Entertainment Tonight Episode where George Clooney talks about his life before being a famous actor – his life as a shoe salesman.  In the segment he states that ALL women LIE about their shoe size.  C’MON GEORGE!

I have never met a woman who felt the need to lie about her shoe size, now her weight, dress size, age, YES.  Shoe size – why?  If someone is going to gift you with a pair of, let’s  say Christian Louboutin’s, you really want to make sure you get the right size (otherwise they WILL hurt your feet).

His example was – women who wore a size 12 saying they wore a size 6 – REALLY! 

I do realize that a lot of women don’t have a good idea of what size shoe they should purchase.  In fact, a lot of people think that because once upon a time they wore a specific size, that that is their size for every shoe all the time.   The truth is that the size a person wears depends a lot on the manufacturer.   I am a perfect size Stuart Weitzman 10 most of the time.  However, I am a perfect size 11 Christian Louboutin.  

Weight also has a lot to do with shoe size.  After  weight gain, the shoe size, like the  clothing size, is going to change.  AND, after a significant amount of weight loss, the shoe size will also change. 

So, when you go to buy your next pair of shoes, maybe you will get lucky and have a really good shoe salesman who will MEASURE your foot to find out your REAL shoe size.

The color of the heel shield is your personal preference.  The important thing about the heel shield is how it protects your shoes from scuffing and scarring while you drive.  The covering is just for show and logo’s. 

If you get a black heel shield and you polish your black shoes, you will have some black polish rub-off on the inside of the black heel shield.  This is only a problem if you want to use that same heel shield on a different color shoe.  Since you probably won’t notice that the polish is on the inside of the heel shield, when you take the heel shield off the colored (or white) shoe, you may think the heel shield caused the color transfer  – NOPE.  We purposely use vinyl and plastic to ensure there is NO color transfer danger to your colored or white shoes. 

AND, it is for that reason, we suggest the purchase of two heel shields – one for black shoes and one for your colored and white shoes

Flats versus Heels

April 18, 2011

Personally I am not able to wear flats comfortably.  It may be because I really don’t want to wear them anyway so I don’t take the time to ensure the proper fit.  Proper fit is a requirement for any type of shoe.  An ill-fitting shoe is going to hurt no matter what the material, style, [...]
