Okay, so I am a relatively new purse collector (2 years) with a growing collection. One would think that a love of designer purses would automatically sashay into a love of designer shoes? Think again. For some reason I just don't get them.
Case in point, I was shopping in Montreal this week (there on business) and decided to meander around looking at shoes. Went to Holt Renfrew and Browns and was really disappointed in the selection I found. Great brand names, no styles that looked at me and said "BUY ME!!! I'm worth 1000$". I found the selection limited and the styles mediocre. Also, I found the height of almost all of the heels to be teetering on impossible in this physical world. Who can walk in those?? Alternatively, when I go to more mainstream stores they seem to have shoes of every colour, texture and height. I'm sure the quality is mass produced, ergo the cheaper prices, but just the pure selection seems to better.
So what am I doing wrong? Wrong stores? Wrong seasons? Wrong mindset? Why don't I get designer shoes? I can completely understand a pair of shoes that are meant to be sat in, not walked in. Art for display, indoors only. However, I just don't feel the love yet with what higher end designers are producing.
Thoughts? Explanations? Tips? All appreciated.
