Shoes are much more than mere fashion accessories. On the one hand, they are the most sensible elements of any wardrobe. They protect our naked feet from harsh environments and stony grounds. They stabilise our gait and protect our delicate ankles, knees and hips. But whilst they ground and support us they also caress our feet, elevate our spirits and in the case of high heels they accentuate the butt, arch the back and make us into feline Goddesses of unlimited sexual power. No other fashion item has ever offered us so much.
