Women And Their Shoes: Why Are Two Or Three Pairs Not Enough?

It's a simple truth: a woman needs more than just two or three pairs of shoes to get by

, and more still if she wants to look spectacular no matter what the occasion. Comfort and practicality both rank high as reasons for multiple shoe ownership, as do more material concerns such as weather conditions, the type of event or occasion, and the colour and style of the outfit with which the shoes are to be worn, and that's all without taking into account changing trends and fashions. Women's shoes are designed to make a statement, and hence the statement must be appropriate to the occasion. When considering the vast array of activities any given woman might conduct in any given week, it begins to become obvious that three pairs of shoes would never be enough.

At work during the day, a woman's shoes will depend on her employment activities, but will usually need to be smart, presentable, and comfortable. A pair of black, low-heeled shoes with minimal decorative details is fine for the workplace, but would look drab at any other occasion. A higher heeled, more stylish design might be more versatile, but can compromise on comfort, necessitating a second pair of sole-soothing flats to make the daily commute bearable.

An active woman will need at least one pair of sports shoes or trainers. Gyms and courts can have strict rules about no outdoor shoes being used at their indoor facilities, and specially designed sports shoes offer optimum support depending on their corresponding activity; it would be impractical to wear tennis shoes for running, or walking boots for pilates.

Then there are leisure and social outings to consider. Practically, a pair of lightweight sandals and a pair of snug winter boots simply cannot be interchanged with each other. Likewise, the cute pastel espadrilles that are just perfect for doing the grocery shopping or sipping refreshing drinks in the sun would look strikingly out of place in a night on the town. For travel or gardening, a pair of flip-flops can be slipped on easily and don't take up much space in a bag, but would not be welcome attire in a restaurant. Even a pair of stylish black boots - a versatile accessory - will have restrictions when combined with the colour and style of an outfit.

Finally, special occasions, such as weddings, will often require some extra consideration. It simply wouldn't be possible to get away with wearing clunky red sandals with a delicate pink dress. On days when a woman wants to look and feel her best, knowing that her perfectly co-ordinated outfit will be sure to turn heads is going to have a much more positive effect on her mood than if her shoes are old, out-dated, uncomfortable, or just don't go with what she is wearing. Often, shopping for shoes for a special occasion can become part of the event itself, just as important as posing for photographs or consuming canaps, but far more personal.

It is worth remembering that a wider selection of shoes can actually reduce wardrobe requirements. For example, the same A-line dress can be coupled with plain courts for a professional appearance, platform wedges for a more fun and casual look, or some chic strappy heels for seductive sophistication. When a woman seems to be forever shopping for shoes, this is just an indication that she knows how to look good in what she wears.
