After her wedding dress and ring, the bride's shoes have got to be one of the most photographed details the bride owns. I believe this has something to do with women's love of shoes. This obsession seems to date back long before high heels and exotic brand names. Buying and owning shoes seems to have some kind of supernatural effect on women, mood-altering (in a good way). It's like the brain receives an onslaught of dopamine with every shoe added to the collection (yes, I believe that shoes are like a collector's item for women). Unlike some other items in a women's wardrobe, shoes are very practical. They can be worn many times (within the same week), they usually make a woman look more attractive, and I'm sure the right pair can make a woman feel like Cinderella. With the multiple variety of colors, styles, heel heights, straps, flowers, flats, mules, etc., it's no wonder woman have so many pairs. Curiously, I don't think the primary purpose of women's shoes is for attracting men. If it is, I think it's kind of a waste. As far as I know, most men would be happy to meet a woman in an old pair of sneakers. Don't get me wrong, we looove women in high heels and stilettos, but heck, let's face it - most men would be happy if a woman just gave them the time of day ! and if nothing else comes out of it, well, at least we know there is dignity in de feet.
