Shoe Design

I have a LOT of shoes. No, I mean a lot. Like somewhere around 400 pairs. But that does include boots. :) I've been thinking about getting into shoe design myself, but something like women's boots are probably going to be the last thing I get to play with, just because getting my hands on a women's last (the foot shaped mold that boots are constructed around) would be difficult and pricy.
Still, it's nice to dream. And I think there is a lot of room for experimentation in boots. The range of styles is tremendous! You've got all the way from these cowboy boots to these blue ankle booties to some really cool Wellies to some really sexy knee-highs. And see, this is exactly how I acquired so many pairs of shoes. The kind of outfit that would look good with that pair of cowboy boots wouldn't work the same with the sexy knee-highs.
One of these days, I'll get to play with making some. Until then, I imagine I'll just have to keep buying my boots, same as everyone else. I don't know which idea scares my husband more. :)
