From Bottom to top: Comfort and Beauty in One Pair of Shoes

Our feet like no other part of our body challenge us to balance comfort and beauty. Shoes, which are comfortable and pretty and match the outfit are every woman's dream. Deep longing breath. I imagine the glass slipper, which exactly fits my foot, is molded around it. But wait, I wouldn't want to trip. And neither do generations of emancipated women.  The glass slipper is perfectly fitted and chic but not practical.  Unless you want to be found by the prince. The symbolism of the glass slipper touches the depth of the soul, yearning two unite the different parts of our psyche, the feminine and the masculine into One.  Searching for one pair of magical shoes resembles the heroine's journey, a continuous whole-life-spanning quest, which definitely needs the help of a fairy godmother.  May the shoemakers of the world be blessed.
