If The Wizard of Oz has taught us one thing, it’s that you can achieve anything in the right pair of shoes. You can go on wild adventures; you can defeat witches; and you can outwit winged monkeys. I’m not saying you need fancy shoes to do any of these things, but it’s good to have the option.
For many years I mostly wore flat shoes or trainers, because I habitually leave slightly less travel time than I actually need to get to my destination. This means that almost all my journeys involve a spot of light jogging to arrive on time. But in more recent years I have succumbed to the joy of shoes with heels (the higher the better) and now I’m addicted.
Obviously, you can’t rush anywhere in five inch stilettos, so I may not arrive on time. But what I lose in speed, the shoes more than make up for in magnificence. These are some of the shoes I put on when I am out to conquer and I don’t plan on taking any prisoners…
