👗 StyleToday's Tip
In France, shoes make the outfit. Two pairs of excellent shoes beat ten pairs of disposable ones. The essentials: leather flats for daily life, clean white sneakers for weekends, and one pair of heels that you can actually walk in.
Try This
Look at your shoe collection. Which two pairs do you reach for 80% of the time? Keep those. The rest are candidates for donation. Invest in resoling or polishing the ones you love.
French women take their shoes to a cobbler regularly. Resoling good leather shoes costs a fraction of replacement and extends their life by years. The French view shoes as investments that appreciate with care. Shoe trees are not optional. Cedar shoe trees absorb moisture and maintain shape between wears.
