The Holy Grail of ShoesI am the proud owner of a beautiful pair of 4 inch black satin Manolos. I found them on eBay and fell head over heels (excuse the pun) in love with them. They are not just shoes for me, they are works of art, or even a work of heart. Each pair is hand made and lovingly put together and the craft/design is never short of perfection with a pair of these beauties. They are an investment for my wardrobe and I intend to whip them out for every birthday I desire to look a knock out at! Indeed jaws dropped when I wore them at my 21st birthday party last December. No woman needs a pair of Manolos, but they certainly help in the style ranks in my opinion. Their not practical shoes, their certainly not cheap but they are heavenly in every other way ;-)!
Shoes are the key to an outfit
Bare in mind that whatever you put on your totsies will determine the class of your whole look. Just take the example of cute jeans with ballet pumps vs. cute jeans with sexy heels! Your shoes should reflect more than anything else you're wearing the occassion and situation you find yourself in on a day to day basis. Don't expect to be able to walk round campus/town in your loveliest heels and definately DON'T try to wear 'comfy' shoes to a formal event. I don't mean your party shoes can't be comfy, I just mean don't fall into the trap of thinking "I'll be on my feet all night, better wear loafers". There are plenty of stylish/chic shoes that ARE comfy and beautiful, for example a wedge??? Of course you do at times have to throw comfort out the window and dig out the rediculous 'toe screamers'.
Quality and Organise
When it comes to buying shoes don't buy cheap. I have a housemate who gets through shoes like I get through chocolate buys. Think about what you need on the end of your feet then buy one good quality of each style. Leather always preferable unless of course you're vegan/vegetarian. They don't have to be expensive just well made, I buy shoes from Clarks beacause their comfy, well put together and affordable BUT NOT CHEAP. They cost around £40 and last an age. You should get tired of your shoes, they shouldn't get tired of you! And if you do buy good quality, please for goodness sake keeo them polished and well looked after, don't stuff them at the bottom of the wardrobe, this will also mean they get less wear. The key to getting the best out of anything you purchase is quality and organisation; so make sure your shoes are visible, perhaps on a rack?
Really NOT HOT!!!
1. Platforms - even if they are in fashion they are pretty chunky and ugly.
2. Wearing trainers - avoid like the plague, strictly only for excercise!

I agree, Clarks shoes are the best. My mum used to buy me them for school and they would last the whole year. I recently bought a pair of tan shoes from Clarks factory shop and they are so comfortable!
I'm fed up of bad quality shoes which give you sore feet and fall apart after one month, probably less.
