7 Excuses We Definitely (don’t) Need to Buy Shoes, But Will Use Anyway

mental health and fashion

The average woman owns 17 pairs of shoes, and wears 5 pairs regularly. There are several reasons we buy shoes; we like the colour, we just had to have them or we wanted to look good for a date. Our 3D design technology means you can design any shoe you have dreamed of. With endless design opportunities means you have to think of more excuses to shop for shoes!

Excuses to shop for shoes, feel free to use them!

The Prime Minister Is a Shoe Addict

Whilst we might not always agree with everything our politicians do, there’s one political ethos we can get behind…Ms May’s penchant for buying shoes. Once faced with criticism of her peepers, not only did May instantly highlight the blatant sexism at play saying:

“It’s interesting that people focus on my shoes- I don’t think they focus on Philip Hammond’s or Boris Johnson’s in quite the same way”

Which is of course, absolutely true. She simply responded, as all good shoe-lovers should, by saying it gave her another excuse to go out and buy some more:

“Hey – it gives me an excuse to go and buy some new shoes.”

Atta girl. While you may not be as busy as Theresa organising Brexit, we’ve put together some shoe styles that would be ideal for busy workers.

Your shoes and nail varnish simply have to match

Can you really be expected to wear your maroon shoes with your new berry coloured mani? The answer is no. You’re not a monster. With co-ordination comes great responsibility! Plus, we’ve put together some other tips to get your feet into the best shape possible– just in time for sandal season.

My friend’s*getting married

*See also – your cousin/ sister/work colleague/boyfriend’s sister’s best friend is getting married.

Ahh the excuse that has stood the test of time. The oldest, most faithful excuse to shop for shoes in in the world. It would honestly be plain rude to turn up at a wedding with part of your outfit looking ‘off’, especially when you know how much the couple have spent on their photographer. Those photos are forever, imagine,  just imagine, being the person whose shoes ruined the aesthetics of their wedding album. Any wedding is one of the best excuses to buy new shoes!

They’re an investment in your career

Everybody knows that you won’t get promoted if you’re wearing a four-year-old pair of ballet flats. It’s just the way of the world. Professional women have to be prepared, and comfier, fashionable shoes make busy days seem easier.

Shoe Designers are real people too, with real student loans

If you stop buying shoes, then what happens to the poor shoe designers who have loans and are desperate to get on the property ladder. They probably even have kids. To be honest, you’re just being supportive… some would even call you a Samaritan. You’re just looking out for the shoe designers.

Your feet are sad

The other day you looked at your feet as you slipped them into last season’s pair of leopard print mules, you noticed that they looked distinctively sad….almost even downtrodden (pardon the pun).  Ok, maybe not one of the strongest excuses to shop for shoes. You think long and hard about that expensive hand cream you bought last week and to be honest it only seems fair that you put the same sort of effort in for your feet. It’s wrong to have favourites.

You have that thing to do to

Um, so remember when Helen from finance said that her housemate’s band was playing next week…it would be a bit weird to show up to that in a pair of old shoes wouldn’t it?
