High Heels Ice Traction Slip Ons | Cool Things

Posted on by

High Heels Ice Traction Slip Ons are a brilliant idea. One of the worst things about snow and ice is having to change your wardrobe accordingly. Sometimes you just want to dress up. Especially if you are going out or wearing a dress. So I tried out these ground-gripping steel-studded slip ons, and they really worked. There was no slipping or sliding. They also come with a convenient pouch.

They fit over pretty much all of my shoes and boots too. A brilliant idea to help you stay stylish.

If you’re the type of woman who wears heels come rain or shine (or snow), then these traction slip-ons will keep you firmly standing and not slipping and sliding down the pavement. Ground-gripping steel studs improve stability on ice. Slip-on design fits over most high heel shoes and boots. Grip-strip closure ensures a perfect fit. Storage pouch included. One size fits most shoes or boots.

God Save My Shoes | Film Review

Posted on by

Women love shoes. Not all women, but enough to make the shoe industry in the US worth 40 billion dollars. 60% of which is solely from women. Vogue did a survey of it’s readers and found that they spent $9,000 a year on shoes. $9,000!! Even during the recession women never stopped buying shoes. They still bought expensive designer shoes; just less of them. At around $400 a pop.

This American documentary is incredibly good. Even for those who are not obsessed with shoes . The history is fascinating. Did you know that stiletto means “slender dagger” in Latin? This documentary was three years in the works and it is an impressive achievement.

It has an all-star cast, Kelly Rowland, Dita Von Teese, Manolo Blahnik, Stacey Ferguson, Christian Louboutin to name just a few. The relationship between sex and shoes is explored, as is feminism and the pain of wearing heels. One (obviously male) designer states that women like a little bit of pain when they wear high heels. He is wrong, he should just make more of an effort to make them more comfortable.

This is a good documentary. Worth a watch for men and women alike. A massive accomplishment. Also, with every purchase of this DVD, Caid Productions will donate a pair of shoes to someone in need. Thumbs up all round.

Kobi Levi's Wearable Feet Sculptures {Design}

Posted on by

Why wear ordinary shoes when you can wear hilarious pieces of art on your feet instead. Designer Kobi Levi specialises in creating unusual footwear that lie somewhere inbetween fashion and art.

Levi describes his personal shoe creations as “artistic footwear” making each pair in his studio by hand. “the shoe is my canvas. the trigger to create a new piece comes when an idea, a concept and/or an image comes to mind. the combination of the image and footwear creates a new hybrid and the design/concept comes to life. the piece is a wearable sculpture.”

His latest collection includes shoes by the name of “blow” “xxx pump” and “market trolley” proving that inspiration can literally come from anywhere.
