There is something about shopping for shoes that is just simply put… wonderful. I enjoy it as much as I enjoy my other favorite past time….. going to the bakery.
Who doesn’t love the smell of a brand new pair of leather boots? But then compare… oh the smells of a bakery. Fresh baked bread? Warm cakes and pies? Both smells ignite pleasure.
A walk through a shoe department with boots, pumps, flats, and clogs… carefully displayed by designer upon blocks and shelves is comparable to gazing through the glass case in a bakery to see croissants, cakes, tarts, and pastries. Each item carefully arranged on cookie sheets side by side. Both kindle the “ooooohs” and “aaaaahs”.
And when you absolutely know you found the perfect shoe when it slips on your feet and you see it in the little mirror on the floor. It’s perfect. Your foot looks so tiny. They will be the perfect touch on your outfit. And when you choose the item you crave, the taste is heavenly, and melts in your mouth. With a cold glass of milk and the moment is perfect.
There is no comparison between a fresh homemade, handmade baked good and a mass produced packaged treat. Handmade is profoundly better. So it stands to reason that a handmade shoe would be equally superior to its mass produced, assembly line, competition. To be honest, I’ve never had a handmade pair of shoes, but with my bakery reasoning, I know they have got to be fantastic.
You might say the added expense of a handmade pair of shoes is extreme. I can only say… have you ever had a $50 piece of cheesecake in NYC. It is to die for. And the pleasure of this lasts only ½ hour. Of course you do have the sweet memory. But a pair of handmade shoes you would enjoy the pleasure of every hour of every day. Priceless.
