Surprising, isn’t it? Have you ever wonder why cowboy boots have heels? Back in the 10th century, it is said that men who rode horses needed their boots to have heels to support their feet. Heels then are signified as a high social standing since owning horses has become a sign of wealth, not because of gender. In contrast with the current setting, we often see people wearing heels because of gender, not because of social standing.
Nowadays, the majority of the community symbolized shoes as something that shows wealth and success. There was a study conducted to prove that some women did argue about this matter. It stated that if a man couldn’t afford to buy good shoes, he won’t afford more important things in the future. So, men out there! Step up your game starting from your shoes!
Ouch! Can you imagine the pain that people have to go through before this brilliant modification? Back in the day, shoes were made identical, which means the left and right look the same! Thank goodness that the first pair of shoes containing a right and left side of the shoe was created later on in Philadelphia. Imagine the discomfort of the shoe that people have to go through daily previously! Such pain!
No wonder he is one of the shoe geniuses! Jimmy Choo was surrounded by shoes when he was growing up because his father was a shoe cobbler. He then shows interest in shoes and actually studied to improve his craft toward shoes. He successfully opened his first store in 1986. Whew! What an inspiration!
Cinderella used to say; “One shoe can change your life.’ Little did you know, shoe addiction is real! There is a part in our brain, the prefrontal cortex, also known as the collector’s spot, triggered whenever we see a shoe that we like! In a 2010 interview with Cosmopolitan, Suzanne Ferriss, Ph.D., and editor of “Footnotes: On Shoes,” mentioned that; “Shoes are a collector’s item, whether women realize they perceive them that way or not,” she said. Think about it: Many women display their shoes on very organized racks.
Did you know that dreaming about shoes can indicate whether you’re feeling well-grounded, or may show your level of self-esteem? Fascinating, right? Some say that those who wear shoes in their are said to be humble and well-grounded. However, some might be having some financial troubles or too carefree in life and seem to be the one who is not wearing shoes in their dreams! Next time, please make sure to wear your shoes, okay? Even though it’s only in dreams.
One thing about sneakers that you should know is they got their name because of their rubber soles that do not make any noise. People started calling it sneakers due to its ability to walk or ‘sneak’ around without making any sounds. Interesting, isn’t it? Who would’ve thought that!
Other than Havaianas, there are a lot of other brands that make their flip flop inspired by Japanese sandals. Here is the fun part! If you look closely at the sole of Havaianas, it has a rice textured pattern on its surface. It was somehow inspired by the ‘Zorii’, which is originally is traditional Japanese sandals made out of rice straw soles and fabric straps. No wonder their sandals seem familiar, right?
Who didn’t know the famous all-time favorite song entitled “Titanic”? No one! This well-known singer just confessed that she is a shoe addict! Celine Dion once admits in her interview session with Ellen DeGeneres, back in 2013, that she owned over 3,000 pairs of shoes in her closet! Surprisingly, just 4 years after the interview session, she claimed to have tripled the amount of her 2013 shoe collection. No wonder there’s a quote saying; “To wear dreams on one’s feet is to begin to give a reality to one’s dreams.” by Roger Vivier.
