Women are like shoes. You may think why, but I will tell you how they resemble that little accessory that adorns our pretty feet. When you sit at your desk at work some days, and do nothing but think about random thoughts, the ephinaneous moments that hit you during those moments are the ones that make you think the most. Yesterday I sat at my desk doodling away to glory, when I spied a pair of shoes that make me reflect on life. And now I shall explain my random theory in detail J
The slipper/flip flops aka the Converse-
The flip flop is one of the most comfortable pair of footwear known to man. If you ever have to run down to pick up something or maybe run to the bank when you are at home, lounging around, the flip flop is the number one item you will most likely pull out from your shoe rack, throw down on your floor, shove your feet in and make a dash to your destination.
The same way, the flip-flop resembles our mothers. She is our comfort zone. The one person, when we are in need of help in a hurry, we always call. She is the one person who knows us very well, and knows how to keep us comfortable. She is the one who we can call in the middle of the night, when I doubt or when the baby is sick, and ask anything. She listens when we cry about a skinned knee, a sick child or maybe even a broken heart. She cradles you in her arms when you are burning with fever. She makes your favourite food on your birthday. And plus she shows our how pretty our feet really are!
The pair of running shoes/the All Stars-
They are one pair of Adidas or Nike running shoes that are always in your closet. The pair you wear the first thing in the morning. The pair of shoes that hug your feet tightly and make sure you are comfortable no matter what type of surface you a running on. The ones that don’t make you feet sweat. The shoes which you wear when you go for a hike and you don’t feel an ounce of pain in your feet.
This pair of shoes is your best friend. The one who is there for you through thick and thin. The one who tells you when you have put on weight and who tries and helps you shed the pounds. The one who shops with you for hours and hours and still never gets tired. The one who sits with you at a coffee shop and checks out hot guys with you even though she has a boyfriend. The one you call first after your heart is broken. The one you call immediately after the first date with the guy of your dreams and tell her how he kissed you. The one whom you tell about how you want to marry that guy and have kids with him. The one you make maid of honor on your wedding day.
She loves you no matter what. She will bitch about the girl who makes you feel bad or even fat. She will stand by you, even when the whole world is against you. She will tell you when you are wrong and share a drink with you even when both of you are on a diet! She is your partner for life even though you may have a husband. She will always have your back. And she is the type of shoe that you never want to throw out and hoard for the rest of your life.
The pair of pumps/the Aldos-
They are the pair of shoes that look pretty and cute and are comfortable to wear. They are expensive but worth the price paid for and they are your comfort pair of shoes that you wear to work. The one that you wear and walk to work because that’s the pair of shoes that help you to get a good day started. The shoes that motivate you to go to work every morning and keep your mind off things that are hindering your thoughts.
This pair pumps is your sister. The sibling that helps you forget all the stupid things happening in your life. But the one who comforts you in times of need. The one whom you can easily steal money from and she won’t mind. I used the term expensive for the fact that the younger sisters (like yours trulyJ) always extortion the elder one for things that are not relevant and very expensive, and somehow get them anyway. She is the one who takes you out for a treat. The one who brings you things as surprise. The one who talks about your own parents and takes your side because he understands what you are going through.
The high heel shoe/the stilettos aka the Jimmy Choos-
This pair is everyone’s favourite. Everyone vies for a pair of heels that make your legs look like a killer pair when you wear them. The ones that you look at in the window and walk in the store and ask if you have that shoe in your size. The one that everyone will envy. The ones that can be bought only with a debit or credit card.
This pair of shoes is your boss. She is the woman every lady wants to be. You aspire to get her position. But she is also hard to please. You have to take care of her and please her just the way you have to take care of your expensive heels. You have to make sure you do everything her way. If you wear her for just the right amount of time, she will be good to you. However, if you end up wearing her for a very long time, at the end of the day, she will end up giving you shoe bites and back pains. After all, you shouldn’t over do yourself with the boss, right?
The gladiators/the Tresmode-
I know this pair is in fashion right now, and every bimbo in town is wearing them.
But when I try this pair of shoes, I think of the tomboy. She is that zip up pair that you feel comfortable with. The one who reminds you to kick back and not worry about the cute guy and to not try too hard to make him fall in love with you. The one who tries to be so boyish in front of the guy they like but cant help to be all girly in front of them. This pair of shoes may have belonged to men in the earlier centuries, but hell they make a girl’s leg look freaking sexy! And I love them!
I know this breaking down might help you identify and connect with you ‘shoes’J! And as always I’l end with a kickass song!
