A few days ago, I posted a picture of a shoe on my Facebook. In fact, it was this one, from the Givenchy resort collection that just landed at Barney’s New York:
While I find Carrie Bradshaw an embarrassing example of idealized womanhood, I will admit to having a small shoe obsession. It's not about a particular style - I have high heeled boots and flat hiking boots, pumps and slippers, 2" ankle boots and killer Cuban heels
( ... )
There are certainly many reasons to love shoes; I just got a Rochas pair, and they are just so beautiful and well made. I just object to the notion that wearing them makes me into a scion of patriarchy.
The assumption that we dress up (heels/dresses/hats/nails/hair/makeup) for men is way too much widespread. Perhaps they should try dressing more often (heels/dresses/hats/nails/hair/makeup) to feel the difference.

Yep. I wear the shoes I like to wear because they make me feel good. End of story.
(and a guy who says "those shoes make you too tall" because he can't tower over me can... bite my heels.)
