Shoe Fetish

I have a mild shoe fetish and I went on a shoe binge recently – I bought 3 pairs of shoes in the month of June, and it’s only the 19th.

Pair #1 – Mitju slip-on heels with basket woven platform, S$29.90

These are quite feminine — I can imagine them on a Japanese housewife with rolled-up jeans, a flowy floral top and a straw hat.

Pair #2 – Tracce faux seude round toebox pumps with hidden heel detai, S$49.90 (look out for 20% discounts!)

It seems patchy in the picture; it’s not so serious in real life. It’s very comfortable and the toe box has enough room for my wide feet so I really like shoes from this brand. This is my fifth pair of shoes from Tracce. So far, I’d say this brand produce good shoes.

Pair #3 – Replay leather ballet flats with sneaker laces, S$109 (got it with giftcards, won’t pay real money for these)

I had giftcards to spend, so I bought this pair of expensive shoes. It seems that Replay is a brand from Italy. These flats are made of leather and suede and they have the cutest soles:

The words read – “I’ll trade this button for a kiss”. Not sure what it’s supposed to mean, but isn’t it adorable? The pastel purple shoes look so young too.

To rationalize my purchase – I have two pairs of shoes to retire because they are in poor condition already. One is torn, the other has its sole coming out, which I have already stuck back on with glue once. So this justifies its retirement. Yes. In essence I’m replacing my retiring shoes plus one more pair. In essence.

But who cares, if the shoe fits, buy it.
