More than just a pair of shoes...

Hello, everyone. Please allow me to introduce you to the most amazing pair of shoes I've seen in a long, long time. When I found these, I immediately had the thought "I'm in love with these shoes. I am actually head over heels in love with footwear... is that bad?"

"Of course not!" my head answers back. Oh, sweet, sweet rationalization.

BCBG Max Azria has just taken the mary jane to an entirely new world. I've always said a persons' shoes say the most about his or her personality... If only we viewed shoes like handshakes in determining personality types... Sigh.

Quick story: I was interviewing individuals for a professional project and the budget was high (in my opinion) so I was being careful to evaluate every detail of each prospective candidate. Before an interview with a particular candidate, I had a chance to review his work and found it to be truly impressive. However, the person who greeted me at the interview session was wearing black slacks and extremely old soccer sandals with his toes fully exposed, if not falling off the front. I took one look at those toes and thought to myself "Absolutely not."

I know my decision not to hire this man could be seen as harsh, but I don't think so. He and I are on two totally different planets with respect to professionalism, and I'm just glad I found out sooner rather than later.

This is my message: Dress your feet (and everything else) wisely... They are more than just a pair of shoes to the rest of the world.
