Happy International Women’s Day - Women’s Footwear for all occasions
International Women’s Day is celebrated each year on the 8th of March. It is a global day to celebrate the achievement of women and to continue to accelerate the movement towards gender equality. Gender equality doesn't mean that men and women become the same but that the opportunities, rights and treatment of people is not determined by their gender. Afterall we can’t expect prosperity if half the world's population is held back!
There has always been a link between fantastic shoes and female empowerment. We may never really know why we women love shoes so much but I think luxury shoe designer Charlotte Olympia sums it up pretty well in her guest article for Marie Claire “There’s a sign on the door to my office that says ‘the higher the heel the better you feel’ and I really believe that, whether they’re making you feel taller, sexier, more confident, powerful, or glamorous.” So maybe that just it, great footwear gives us that extra confidence boost that helps us feel ready to take on the world, the patriarchy, the big meeting or even the grocery store run.
