Why Women Buy Many Pairs of Shoes

From the first time we learn to walk, shoes are an important essential to going places.  

There are shoes for walking, dancing, and every special occasion known to man.  If only men understood the importance of why women need so many pairs of shoes and why they buy them. 

So, let’s enlighten them…

Unless she’s barefoot and pregnant, a woman needs to wear shoes.  But then, if she’s barefoot and pregnant she wouldn’t want to leave the house in the winter time.  Not unless, of course, without a pair of warm sturdy boots to keep her toes toasty from the cold winds and frosty snow.

In the summer when barefoot might be acceptable, a pair of flip flops or sandals are fashionable and easy to slide on for going outside for an afternoon stroll.  But, if it’s early in the morning, or she’s off to the gym, a pair of sneakers might be more comfortable and practical.

Then, in the evening or going to work, a pair of sneakers might not look as snazzy with that dress or suit as a pair of nice dress shoes.  A woman might need a slim pair of heels for an evening out, or a pair of elaborate flats to maneuver her way through work for the day.

If she’s going hiking or camping, it can’t hurt to have a pair of hiking boots, and if you’re planning on taking your gal fly fishing during the trip, she’s going need a pair of gulches to keep her feet from getting wet.

One rule of fashion, which often is hard to forget, is not every color matches and most clashes between footwear and attire unless you have selected the right pair of shoes to compliment the clothes.  Those red shoes might look fabulous with her black suit, but unless she’s out to make a statement, you won’t find her caught dead wearing red shoes with an orange outfit.

Black and white can be boring and basic. If you want your lady to have as much personality in her clothes as in her footwear, be prepared to slide over your shoes and make room for her color choices in the closet. 

Women need a variety of shoes for a variety of reasons.  Shoes add style, comfort, and functionality to a woman’s day.  Not to mention, she probably has a handbag or two that match her shoes, but we’ll save that for a discussion on another day.
