Ah! I love shoes. Whenever I walk past shoes boutique, I would pop in, trying out all pairs but woud hold my purse tightly and told myself, buy it tomorrow! I love shoes, bright colours, plain Jane’s, whatever I wanna term it but I have one big problem myself. I am not like many ladies out there who could spot one pair and tell everything about the shoes. To me, shoes are just shoes, an accessory, something to wear, something you put on to protect your feet. They must be fashionable, eye-catching, easy to match with your clothes or bags and most importantly, COMFORTABLE.
So to give myself a little e-tuition, I decided to do a bit of research online to find out more about shoes. Well, nothing much though especially when I am so impatient and often
distracted by something else, which are definitely more interesting than plain words.
Hence, to share with the rest of you who, well hopefully those who wait to read my posts ;p (I know my big, fat hope!), I am putting this up.
All definitions except for 2 which are Suede, Thong, they were all taken from here. As for the pictures, they are homework done by me with great help from googling work of course :p Hope this is a piece of useful read from me
Cheers…
