Stylish with Substance

I've been daydreaming about making shoes someday, and I don't just mean dreaming of designing them in the big time, although I am doing that, yes.

My feet are picky and I think I can upcycle and such shoes into more comfortable wears for my feet. And thus the brainstorming has been practiced.

This does lead right to dreams of going big one day with high styles and big budgety means of making anything possible. And this platform here on these lovely rose peep-toes truly inspires, well, the perfect platformed pump. (And perfection takes a team.)

Height can be desired in shoes, but I, among many, don't want my arch too strained with my heel up on 3 inches above my toes. But platforms bring the two worlds together to a less unhappy medium (ahh shoes, rarely comfortable).

The other thing is that platforms can look unladylike and bulky, but these inset soles are just what the professor ordered!!

And maybe, just maybe, I can even make or alter-into a pair like these all on my own. After first trying it simpler.

It is possible to make one's own shoes, practically anything is these days, thanks Dr. Google!

P.S. The roses on the toeses are just lovely, too. A cherry on top of a great overall shoe.
