I have to start this series with shoes. We stand and walk on our feet all day and they get abused by ill-fitting contraptions we call shoes.

Story: I remember working for a company where I had to wear heels all day. I searched the kingdom for the perfect pair. I wanted to try Banana Republic 24-hour shoes but they no longer existed in the UK. In the end, I settled for 'Next Forever Comfort'. The first day felt like a dream. I felt sexy, confident and ready to conquer the world. They were suede, pointed and had a slight 'V' shape, they were beautiful.
