Quirky Shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Gathered here are shoes that I've encountered in my rambles on the web. I've chosen them for lots of different reasons,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], of which beauty is one but not necessarily the driving force.
A lot of these are what I call Litter Shoes. They aren't practical to wear except by someone reclining on a big,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cushioned,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], platform carried by 4 well-muscled men. Some people refer to them as sitting shoes. Many are very beautiful; others are just plain odd. A lot of them are editorial in nature,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or offer visual puns. Most are fantasy shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], despite the fact that they are manufactured and sold to be worn. Mostly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], though, I think shoes like this are to be looked at -- to be enjoyed for exactly what they are: fantasies.
I love the humor and common sense in this retelling of the classic Cinderella story. In this version, Cinderella and Cinder Edna are neighbors. Cinderella is beautiful,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rather brainless,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], kind of whiny. She sits among the ashes and waits for her fairy godmother (hilariously rendered in a pillbox hat and bored expression) to make things happen. Cinder Edna -- rather ordinary looking and definitely of a practical turn of mind -- gets the invitatio nto the ball and starts saving her paper route money to buy a dress. She wears her comfy loafers to the ball (which she takes a bus to reach) because they're better for dancing. You'll have to read the book to find out what happens next,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it's very funny and definitely sends all the right messages. Wonderful illustrations will make you laugh.
Okay. These simple canvas shoes are the antithesis of everything presented in this lens (translation: comfy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], wearable). And they are a chance to do a good deed. The premise is simple: for every pair of Tom's Shoes purchased,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the company will donate a pair fo a child in need. Here's how the manufacturer explains it:
TOMS Shoes was founded in 2006 by Blake Mycoskie. The shoe is a unique slip-on design comprised of clean lines and lightweight fabrics in vibrant colors and prints. market,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and in doing so to accomplish one goal: Making life more comfortable for those without shoes. To realize this purpose,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Blake made a commitment to match every pair of TOMS purchased with a donation of a pair to a child in need. It's simple: If you buy a pair of TOMS,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the company will give a pair to someone in need on your behalf.
