  • Why do women like shoes?

There are actually a few reasons why women love shoes. Have you met anyone who doesn't? It's all in the head; think about it, a certain pair of shoes can trigger a memory or feelings of nostalgia. Besides the fact that a good pair of shoes can improve your posture, it actually boosts your self-confidence. Every time you put on a pair of shoes, they can instantly make you feel different. It completes your outfit and as cheesy as it sounds, can tell a story. Have you ever heard of the old adage that you can tell everything you need to know about a person by the shoes they're wearing? Well, that's partly true. There is always a reason behind every shoe purchase and discovering that story is always fun!

  • What do your shoes say about you?

As we mentioned earlier, it is said that shoes can tell a story. But they can also be an extension of the wearer's personality. For example, if you see someone wearing an expensive pair of shoes, it could mean the person is making a good living. Brightly colored shoes? She is definitely outgoing. Practical shoes like ballerinas or sneakers? This person is not only sensitive but also certainly good company. These are just a few examples of how shoes can be a gateway to discovering everyone's personality. It may vary, but it's a start! Our advice? Think a little more about today's shoes, you will always have surprises.  

  • Factors to Consider When Buying Shoes

We all know that it is extremely important to consider certain factors before purchasing anything. There's no shame in wanting the best, but you also need to be sure that whatever you're buying is worth it. After all, you worked hard to earn your money! Below are the top four factors to consider when shopping for a brand new pair of shoes:

1. Sustainability

Have you ever thought about the composition of your shoe? Well, the material used to make it is an important factor that you need to think about. Whether it's leather, rubber, wood or canvas, they all contribute to the life of your shoes. It also means that you take into account manufacturing quality and what the craftsman has gone into to create the shoe. Think of it as an investment, which you will take care of over the next few years.

2. Style

Shoes come in different designs and styles; that's because they were designed with an activity in mind as well as the different occasions to wear them. It can be difficult as there are so many choices, but the key here is to select what suits your preferences. You are bound to wear them frequently, so consider color, weight, shape and flexibility to associate them with your different outfits. Always remember that not all shoe styles may be suitable for all occasions.

3. Practicality

Let's face it, whenever we are in stores, sometimes we tend to stray from our original idea. For example, you intended to buy a pair of apartment slippers and you end up buying something else because you were "distracted". Let us tell you this: Stick to your plan! Whenever you buy shoes think about how practical they are for you, how often you will wear them, can they go with anything in your wardrobe? And finally, do you really need that extra pair? You have to take into account your lifestyle and your daily routine to be able to determine what you need versus what you think you need; because they are two completely different things. 

4. Price

Due to the fact that shoes are made from different materials, shoe prices vary. It will always depend on the brand, quality, design and other factors. Our advice? Expensive shoes don't always mean the best and cheap shoes don't always mean the worst. Whatever the price, make sure your budget allows for it. Spend wisely and buy shoes that fall within your price range. Shoes won't last forever, but the memories you create wearing them do!

  • Shoe styles you must have

There are a lot of shoe designs to choose from and it can get overwhelming. Over the years, fashion continues to evolve; we've seen different designs and styles take over the decade. Out-of-the-ordinary shoes have appeared on the runways, but nothing beats the classic everyday shoes we all know and love. We've rounded up the four best shoe styles every French woman loves to have: 

1. White sneakers

We all know it's a fashion staple in everyone's closet. Who doesn't own a pair of white sneakers? These are literally everyone's go-to shoes; whether you're going out to meet a friend, run errands, or even work, white sneakers are your go-to shoes. These shoes look clean and they match perfectly with everything! They're perfect if you're on the go regularly and looking for something that not only looks great, but is also comfortable on your feet. 

2. Block Heel Mary Janes

If you're feeling a little adventurous, try a pair of block heel Mary Jane shoes. (What should be in every Frenchwoman's wardrobe!) Whenever you feel like wearing heels, grab them! Mary Janes instantly make any outfit look chic. They are much more comfortable to wear than sky-high stilettos. (which you don't often see on the streets of Paris.) If you don't wear heels, that's a perfect reason to start wearing them! Besides making you look a little taller, Mary Janes go with any outfit and you don't sacrifice comfort for style.

3. Booties in daim

Suede is a popular material during the fall season; which explains why suede ankle boots have become a trend. These ankle boots have definitely become a mainstay and can be worn during the off seasons (if you wear them right!) and its block heels. These shoes allow you to walk comfortably and instantly add a different charm to any outfit.

4. Ballerinas

This classic and practical shoe has become a go-to for French women.
