10 reasons why shoes are a woman's best friend

Whether you love heels or flats, or are proud of your collection of running shoes, we can all agree that shoes make life that much better. The Carrie Bradshaw in all of us can confirm that all women love shoes. Here are 10 reasons why shoes will always be a woman's best friend.

1. They give you confidence when no one else can

When you get dressed in the morning and complete your look with a nice pair of shoes, your confidence - which you may have missed - will return very quickly. You are now ready to walk on any sidewalk because your shoes know how good you feel. You are unstoppable in your perfect pair of shoes.

2. They never let you down

Aside from a broken heel or a hole, the perfect pair of shoes will never let you down. They always support you with the best intentions.

3. You have so many options that you will never be disappointed

Flats, running shoes, heels, pumps, wedges, moccasins, boots, sandals – the possibilities are endless when it comes to the perfect shoe. No matter your style or mood, there will always be a gorgeous pair of shoes waiting for you to slip into and that will keep you satisfied.

4. They will never leave you

Your shoes stay in the closet for days, weeks, or even years, waiting for you to put them back on. They will never run away to find a better footing. Your shoes will always be there for you, right where you left them.

5. Your friends will never make you look as good as a nice pair of shoes

Your friends, while all beautiful in their own right, will never make you look as good as a perfect pair of shoes. That pair of shoes will always brighten up your beauty because they are stunningly beautiful and unique to you.

6. They fit your personality perfectly

You choose your shoes based on your own personal style, so that they don't just express your outward appearance. Clothes are used to express your personality and so are the shoes you wear every day. They emphasize your personality from the feet.

7. They protect you

This may be a little too literal, but your shoes will protect your beautiful feet from damage. Whether it's a pair of strappy sandals that protect your toes from the hot sand at the beach or a pair of wellies that keep you dry on the rainiest days, your shoes are your protector. They also make you feel stronger because of the confidence they give you about yourself.

8. You chose them, not the other way around

You chose the shoes you have in your closet. They stood in shoe stores, waiting for a good house and a few feet. You love each couple for their own strengths – and even their weaknesses; you wouldn't trade them in for the whole world, because they are and remain your first choice shoes.

9. You fight, but you will always love them

A good pair of shoes does not come without drawbacks, such as an occasional blister or pain if you walk in them for too long, but you always solve your problems. At the end of the day, take them off, take care of your feet, and put the shoes in the closet for another day. You still love the shoes that hurt you because you have a soft spot for every pair. Besides, you know they didn't mean to hurt you.

10. When a couple runs their course, it never begs to stay

When a nice pair of shoes is worn out and beyond repair, they won't beg you to keep wearing them. The shoes accept their fate with a worn grin and let you move on to newer and better shoes without a beep.
