They looked a little strange but just like any Lady Gaga song, I warmed up to them. know I have two pairs of Gladiator shoes and couldn't image my self with out them

Platforms

Are you looking for a shoe that you will be able to stand in for a number of hours?

If you are, I suggest that you pick a shoe with a platform.

There are three main reasons way a platform is the very best endurance shoe:

-The first reason is the platform usually gives the foot some extra cushion which makes standing in the shoe more comfortable.

-The second reason is that the platform absorbs the shock on the foot

and lastly...

-The third reason is that the platform allows a woman to wear a higher heel easily.

So next time you are getting dressed for a party, look for the extra inches under the feet.

OBSESSED WITH...

...PEDRO GARCIA INDIRA FEATHER BALLET FLAT

I never thought that there was a way to make a peacock more beautiful than it already was, but then I saw these shoes.

If you are like me then the maximum time that you can last in a high heel shoe is about 3 hours maybe 3 1/2. Because of this,I have to always carry around a pair of flats. If I owned these shoes, I would never take them off and I would throw my heels in the trash. ( And by trash I mean my closet and by throw I mean gentle placing to heels in a cushioned box) Ballett flats have become a required piece to have in your closet. No longer do they just come in plain solid colors, but with prints, with sequin, with rhinestones, and now with feathers.

I Love It!

Pedro Garcia,

He gives me wings

Or more like feathers

Christmas Gift

I know that it is the new year, and Christmas has been over for a couple of weeks. But I feel that it gave necessary that I tell you about this special gift. I received from my mother. A few weeks before Christmas, I cleverly mention to my mother that I wanted to have some flat boots. To my "surprise" I did receive a pair of flat boots!
I like them very much!
They are brown, they have a round toe, and they go up to the knee.
For the little time that I have had these boots, they have quickly become my favorite pair. If I could wear them everywhere I would. But what really makes these boots so special is:

My mother orchards them off of my website!

She knew that I wanted flat boots, and she knew that I had a big foot. So she did the most logical being; she went on my website.
If you take a look on the right side of the blog, you can see that they are is a list of website that carries plus size shoes. So next time that you need to buy a shoe, for a friends or for yourself, take a tip from my mother.

Zip it Up

Zippers aren't just on your jeans any more. Zippers are now on your shoes too. I know that some shoe, like boots for example, have always had zippers but now zippers are more fashionable than functional
