Under the Sole Lies a Beauty

The ancient said:”Everyone should have a pair of good shoes, because this pair of shoes will bring you to the most glorious place”.

I love to collect shoes, until now I have already collected almost 35 pairs of shoes. Shoes are one of the important daily usages. Shoes meant a lot to me, different types and colours of shoes inspires me colour and design matching in my daily life. It's amizing how such small pair of shoes that is situated on your sole can play such a big role that changes a person from self-esteem all the way to how it affects the dressing of women. Today, shoes are also a symbol of fashion. Have you ever wondered what type of pattern and style the first pair of shoes look is like? The first pair of shoes was anything grabbed on hand (flat bark, large leaves, and perhaps bundles of weeds), with rattan or tough long bale in the foot. In the olden days, “shoes" may not be very beautiful, but very practical. "Sandals" is one of the oldest artificial productions of footwear.

In ancient Greece, a shoe symbolizes the difference between slavery and freedom. Greek philosopher Plutarch wrote, "Barefoot", is a sign of abject slaves. Historically speaking, the shoes reflect the wealth; used to determine a person's social status, and even religion.“High Heels” that girls are crazy for in this 21^st century already created in the 16^th century. At first, the heel produced in a very practical need in order to avoid the skirts from wet rain, mud and snow. Now is just for the purpose of fashionable. For me, every shoe had it unique purpose, unique style and even wonderful color that can lighten up our life.

I’m very particular in what types of shoes I’m wearing like what is the shoes outfit. A person’s shoe can tell you all you need to know —example: how a person takes care of his shoe’s cleanliness says a lot about him or her.  If the shoes are clean and bright enough, then it is quite evident that the person is well mannered and takes immense care of himself or her self and the place he or she lives in. In my opinion, if you are a woman trying to judge a man by his shoes, you can rest assured that a man with clean shoes will take care of you as well. Shoes can also show a person characteristic; people who prefer to wear sandals are generally free birds who would like to be out of bound. This person love to travel outdoor. Besides that, in my opinion, shoes like relationships. We need to find the right fit shoes for ourselves’ and is comfortable. When it comes to relationships, the wrong fit of shoes will hurt more than ‘just a little.’”
