9 Fabulous Quotes about Footwear for Shoe Lovers Everywhere ...

Rosalina

There are some fabulous quotes about footwear for shoe lovers everywhere, that I would like to share. Being something of a shoe and boot enthusiast, like a lot of ladies, I think shoes are so important. I'm no Imelda Marcos, mainly because I don't have the wardrobe space, but I have my fair share of fabulous footwear. Most of us have heard of the sayings, such as putting yourself in someone's shoes to really know what they're going through or walking a mile in a person's shoes. Elvis Presley sang about his Blue Suede Shoes, Paul Simon sang about Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes, David Bowie instructed us to put on our red shoes and dance the blues and Nancy Sinatra reminded us that These Boots Are Made for Walking, showing that often shoes are used as a metaphor and help us to look at life in a particular way. So here are some of my favorite quotes about footwear that are actually about life.

1. Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey We all know that Oprah had a difficult early life but this inspirational woman managed to rise against adversity and show that it's not where you came from, it's how you deal with the trials and tribulations of life and come out the other side that matters. She still has her feet firmly on the ground, she just wears more expensive shoes. And why not? She deserves it and has worked hard for them! This is one of my favourite quotes about footwear.

2. Allan Sherman

Allan Sherman I have so many pairs of shoes with which I have fallen in love. It's true. You see them in the shop window and stand there looking longingly, knowing that they will look fabulous with that dress that you probably will only wear once... but it doesn't matter because they're so beautiful and you just have to have them. Shoes don't talk back, they are your faithful carriages, helping to transport you (sometimes a little uncomfortably) from fabulous venue to fabulous venue...or from home to work!

3. Hairspray

4. Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City

Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City Now, I couldn't write about a list of footwear quotes without making any reference to the show which put fabulous female footwear on the map! We all know about Carrie's penchant for beautiful shoes and the fact that she spent an inordinate amount of money, that she actually didn't have, on some beautiful pairs of shoes. In fact, she realised that she had spent so much ($40,000!) that at one point, she actually resigned herself to the fact that she would be the old woman who lived in her shoes! We also know how she struggled to find Mr Right, oscillating from moments of bliss with Mr Big to struggling to find a prince to put that Cinderella slipper on her foot. But she had some fantastic footwear to see her through singledom.

***

Carrie Bradshaw's love affair with shoes on Sex and the City was more than a quirky character trait—it underscored her journey through love, life, and self-discovery. Whether it was trotting down Manhattan streets in Manolo Blahniks or contemplating relationships over a pair of Jimmy Choos, Carrie's shoes were symbolic of her high-fashion life narrative. She even once quipped that she would literally be the "woman who lived in her shoes," a witty nod to her lifestyle choices wrapped in the bows and straps of her extensive shoe collection. Carrie's stiletto-stepping saga remains iconic among shoe aficionados.

5. Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe Marilyn Monroe knew her shoes as well, and considered them more than an accessory. It's true that the right pair can raise your confidence levels and make you feel like a goddess. More importantly, with the right pair of shoes, you know you can conquer anything, whether it's a business meeting, a date or the world in general.

7. Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel Coco Chanel is another style icon that I couldn't omit from from an article about footwear. We all know how important shoes are.

Slip on a pair of fabulous shoes and no one will care about the rest.

Love shoes!

Marilyn never said quote number 5 - it's credited to her, but as far as I know it was Bette Midler who actually should be credited with it.
