Men and Shoes

Men and shoes? That must have been the first reaction for most of you, well I actually never really thought about it too. But today as I was cleaning my shoe cabinet, I began analysing men with shoes.  What’s with men and shoes?? The common connection between them would of course be us, women!!

Women love shoes and it is fair to compare men with shoes. No, not because they are worn on feet <we obviously don’t treat men that way> we can just compare them with shoes because the right shoes are impossible to find just like the right men. Sometimes if we like the colour, we don’t like the style, sometimes the heels too high, sometimes its too flat, sometimes it pricks you, sometimes it just doesn’t look right. Some looks better on someone else and the ones we really like? well they either doesn’t fit us well or doesn’t look good on us.

Don’t you hate it when you see a really nice pair of shoes and you don’t find the size for you? Or if it’s too costly? Don’t you hate it when you meet a really nice guy and he turns out to be a jerk? Or he doesn’t feel the same way about you? So the question is, are men actually like shoes??

I heard a song the other day it went something like this, “Men are like shoes, there just too many, they confuse us and we don’t know which one to choose”

Women owns so many shoes and theres still so many more to choose from but all shoes don't fit everywhere. There is a shoe for every occassion. We wear some to restaurants, some to walks, some for shopping, some give us confidence and some we  wear when we want to feel pretty and then there’s this perfect pair of shoes where you can wear almost everywhere and you feel so comfortable that you don’t even mind wearing it over and over again.

In this way, when we see men, we like some, we flirt with some, we date with some and some we feel is the right one for us, while with some you just don’t feel right!!!

Some shoes look so pretty but when we put it on, we realise that it’s uncomfortable,

Some shoes we realise look better on someone else rather than us,

Some we just buy and don’t wear it.

And when we finally find the right one, we forget about all the trouble that we went through for the right shoe. We forget the broken heels, the tight shoes, the loose ones, the shoe bites. We forget everything because now we know that no matter what, this right shoe would take you to the right places.

Isn't that the same with men? like shoes, some men can’t be fixed, some just needs a shine, and some just hurts you but some stays with you forever and when he does, we forget the past.

Maybe if we start taking things this way, we would realise that all men, like all shoes are different too and unless you have tried each and every shoe, you can never really judge or classify them. But how many right ones do we actually have to experience till we find THE one???

I love shoes, I have lots of them but I only have one perfect shoe. It’s a black strap stiletto 4 inch heel which I can wear for dates, partying or dinners. I still remember the day I bought it. I was out shopping and I was looking for a pair of heels for a party, I knew I wanted black but I didn’t know whether I wanted kitten, pump, block, or wedge. Stiletto was not even in my option but when I saw it I knew this was it, this was the right one. I entered the shop with so many questions on my mind, “will it fit me right?”, “will I be comfortable?”, “will it be affordable”, “will it look pretty on me” etc, etc. but when I tried it on, I knew I had found my perfect pair of shoes and at that moment I forgot the long hours of heat, the endless search and even the “oh too many shoes” that I tried.

Its been one year since I bought that pair of shoes, some may not like it, some may find it uncomfortable but for me, its just fits right and today even after so many shoes, it still remains the right one for me and I hope that just like my perfect shoe, I would find my perfect men too, not too loose, not too tight, with the right blend for my style, someone who just fits right into my life and someone who is going to make me forget bout all the past "right ones". But until then, i am going to go out and shop for more shoes !! ;)
