Italian Shoes for Women
The Power of Heels: Status. Appeal. Power.
Women do not walk in heels.
We STRUT in heels
In heels we strut on our own catwalk, head high, chest out, with long confident strides. Heels emphasize the assets of a lady’s figure creating a slimmer, ier silhouette. Something about a woman in heels seems powerful, sensual and graceful at the same time.
Heels create instant attitude. The elevation of the shoe elongates the leg by raising the arch of the foot, Barbie Doll style. By shifting the body’s posture, the legs are extended creating a lean line. Because the legs are lifted/flexed, the muscles raise your derriere. In other words, heels place your booty on a pedestal. Since the body’s center of gravity is shifted, the back adjusts balance by curving the back into a “S” shape. The chest is arched forward while the stomach sucks inward creating the right curves. Last, but definitely not least, heals change the wearer’s walk. Amazingly, a shuffle becomes a saunter. Hips are pushed forward and sway to and fro like a pendulum.
Take a peek into a woman’s closet.
The contents tell a lot about her tastes, personality and how she views herself. Is she traditional? Adventurous? Or does she have a pair of shoes for every occasion? Surprisingly, even the most conservative wardrobes may surprise your with a y, sleek pair of shoes waiting for a special occasion. Click to read more
Four of our favorite Italian Shoes for Women with a Heel
Walk A Mile - A Woman and her Shoes
By Mira Lotfallah
The proverb says you have to walk a mile in another man’s shoes to truly understand him. Our shoes have been with us through all of our journeys, whether as a source of comfort or of pain, symbolic of where we have been and where we are going. So it is no wonder that for women our shoes are so much more than utilitarian, they are an expression of who we are. Having come so far to claim our place as more than simply barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, our shoes are representative of the path we have come by--strong yet sleek, y, and sophisticated--with a design demanding of a skill and grace to effortlessly endure what few men could walk a few steps in, let alone a mile.
There is something reliable about a shoe. When you first try it on, it’s either a fit or not, but you are spared the indignity of those three way mirrors that dramatize the lasting evidence of your dietary indiscretions. You walk away with a true companion that, even on your “fat days,” with the right attitude and a little strut, can make you feel y. Though some women remain faithful to the long lines that stilettos lend to their legs, others are overjoyed by the recent craze of the wedge and ballerina flats, which now allow us to be both stylish and admittedly more comfortable. Whether it’s for the perfect business attire, a day of shopping, or a night out on the town, selecting the perfect shoe is all about expressing yourself and finding what makes you feel your best, transcending a mere accessory into something far greater.
Here are some of our favorite italian shoes for the Journey of Life.
