My Shoe Tag: A Tribute to My Shoes!




The shoes carry you all around all day, so they certainly need some show of gratitude. This tag is my tribute to my shoes :)

I don't know if there's another shoe tag floating around, but here's what I have come up with. It would be a nice way to show your love for your shoes through this tag. But if you're too lazy, you can pick up your favorite question and answer here in the comment itself!




1. How many pairs do you have currently? And how many do you actually wear?
I counted in my mind and It's unbelievable that I actually have 13. Not because 13 is too high but because I end up wearing only 4 pairs :) This tag is helping me improve my self-awareness :)

2. What is the most common color of your shoes? And what is the most unusual color that you have worn?
I do have a few colors but black is what I wear most frequently.
Honestly I have been a little boring with shoe colors and there's no unusual color except a purple. In fact I want to see what people write here as I desperately want to add some colors and excitement to my shoes :)

3. What is the most and the least that you have spent on your (or someone else's) shoes?
Least I think has been Rs 80 from Gariahat (Kolkata) street shopping :). But that was some 10 years back!
Most for me has been only Rs 2500. Shoes were never my first love anyway.
I think I spent Rs 7k on a pair for my husband. Can't spend that much on mine ever!

4. Have you ever done anything dramatic with your shoes?
Well, the most that I have done is scaring away some crazy insects :)

5. What's your favorite type of heel?
Pump. I don't like flats and stilettoes are not comfortable, though I wish I could wear a few of them!

6. What's the height of your tallest ever heel?
Remember that era of tall platform heels. I used to have a pair I think 4.5 inches tall. I used to wear it a lot! It was just like the road was 4 inches higher :) That's been the tallest I have got.
Right now I have a stiletto that I rarely wear which also has probably the same height.

7. What was the brand you wore most frequently wore as a kid?
BATA!!

8. What's your favorite brand of shoes now? 
No favorites, generally pick up stuff from the usual mall brands like catwalk, inc5 etc. GK I M Block also has some nice shops. 

9. What's your favorite place for street shoe shopping?
I think Lajpatnagar Central Market has loads of variety!! I like GK M block too.

10. How expensive was that one pair that you wished you could own, but alas you couldn't afford :(
Well, this keeps happening all the time! I don't have to name Jimmy Choo here! The most I think I can spend on footwear is probably 3k. That way even Zara or Aldo give me enough occasions to sulk :)

Hope you had fun reading it, definitely do it if you're interested.
To start with, I would tag Mehak from peachesandblush. We all know she recently did some show shopping :) 

Here are the questions again..

1. How many pairs do you have currently? And how many do you actually wear?

2. What is the most common color of your shoes? And what is the most unusual color that you have worn?

3. What is the most and the least that you have spent on your (or someone else's) shoes?

4. Have you ever done anything dramatic with your shoes?

5. What's your favorite type of heel?

6. What's the height of your tallest ever heel?

7. What was the brand you wore most frequently wore as a kid?

8. What's your favorite brand of shoes now?

9. What's your favorite place for street shoe shopping?

10. How expensive was that one pair that you wished you could own, but alas you couldn't afford :(

BTW, the page was open and my husband happened to go through it..his reaction was also like 'you have t-h-i-r-t-e-e-n pairs!!' :)

and a correction, the most expensive shoe was 7k and not 6k, he reminded me..

I have a shoe fetish, and I'm afraid to count how many pairs I have. Maybe you could do a piece on shoe storage too... that would be helpful! I would suggest you buy a pair of nude heels- you can't go wrong with those, and can use them in lieu of black. Come to my part of India, and you'll have a great selection (though not too cheap) to choose from, because the shopkeepers here personally go and buy from Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, China and Bangkok....! I'd be happy to take you shopping :)
