Shoes....Dilemma.....

Shoes.....

Most women and some men have a weakness for nice shoes. Different people have different requirements when it comes to shoes. Some look for comfort, some look for attractiveness, some look for bargains. One thing's for sure though, we all look for a good fit, and one that doesn't bite too much.

The most common complaint I hear is about trying to find the correct size. Sometimes, you find a perfect design but find out that they no longer have any stock of your size. Some other complaints that I hear is about comfort.....'I like to where high heals but most shoes are just not comfortable to wear for a long period of time'. Another complaint I heard recently was from a middle-aged lady who had difficulties finding flat slip-on shoes that were comfortable. Even hush puppies and scholls didn't suffice.

The answer to all these problems is to actually custom-made them but sometimes the pricing is totally out of this world. Some are actually affordable but the design is a run-off-the-mill design where you can only change the colour and put a few crystals or bows on the front. What we need is affordability and also done by someone who has a designer's eye. Someone who you can sit down with to design your shoe and also pay nothing more then an Aldo or a pair of Guess shoes.

What a dilemma we are in when it comes to our shoes....
