Women’s shoes; Why are they so dear to their hearts?; Rooster’s (W)Riting about it all!!

In the next few days I will officially have an article on women’s shoes published in a magazine. While I can’t copy any of the text that will go in the actual article I will include some excerpts that did not make the article. My editor is very excited about me, a guy, writing an article about women’s shoes. I had a ball doing this. I hope we can write more articles like this in the future.

Doing the research for the article was fun. The best part of the whole deal was getting to see a lot of legs! You can’t ever beat that. I can also now see why women need plenty pairs of shoes. I always thought is was unecessary for a woman to need so many pair of shoes. I stand corrected now. I can see why it takes so many.

I will include some of the excerpts now that did not make the article, but I think will be fun reading: (italics are my words that were cut out of the article)

Footwear does not need to match clothing. It just needs to compliment the attire and enhance it in some way.

This came as a bit of a surprise to me. I always thought the footwear needed to match, but that was not correct.

Shoe variety plays an important role in a woman’s choice of footwear. Different styles of shoes augment a female’s features and add to her persona. The boost a lady gets from a perfectly worn outfit, complete with flattering footwear, can give her poise and confidence.

Wedges add a little height and elongate the leg. These add a little stature to a woman. These are not the ultra high platforms worn in the 70’s, but a shoe with a more feminine wedge. For this spring a heavier sole and heel are being used to compliment women’s attire. A wedge might be the perfect addition to your wardrobe.

If a more ladylike alternative appeals to you try a very low-heeled pump, or a ballerina flat, with a peep toe. These shoes look wonderful in a variety of colors in either linen or leather. These shoes work with shorts, trousers, and even long skirts.

Espadrille's may be the most popular of the spring shoe styles. These casual sandals come in many incarnations. A women is sure to find something to her liking. Espadrille-styled pumps can be found which add another option for women’s attire. Even though fashion magazines show espadrille lace-up ties winding up the calves, several wraps at the ankle and a pretty bow fit nicely in today’s wardrobes.

Also, if a woman has an appealing body feature she may want to choose a shoe to compliment that attribute. To draw attention to a shapely ankle she may wear strappy shoes or sandals. High-heels and low cut boots might show off an athletic calf. Shoes can be used in this way to bring out the best qualities in a woman.

Today’s lady has many options when it comes to choosing footwear. There are many types and styles to choose from. So no matter what outfit a lady intends to wear a complimentary pair of shoes can surely be found.

The above few paragraphs were good I think. We had to cut them out because the article was too long. We had included them to see how they would fit in the piece, but they just did not work out. They are good in my estimation though.

I truly enjoyed writing this article. I hope it is the first of many to come. I pride myself on being able to write about many different things and this piece helps to show my editor that.
