She had a long history of purchasing shoes which would never see pavement. Often they occupied a coveted place on the shelf in the closet, as if to give her a private wink as she reached for the dusty, comfy , army of foot soldiers who accompanied her on the rounds of her Real Life.
There were a few who lived on the pedestals usually reserved for sculpture in the more public areas of her very private house. Her friends would often give a nervous giggle and roll their eyes as she smiled and gave no explanation.
She knew they would later offer up these observations as proof .. .. . that she was , well, a bit different.

Now Judith - Is this about you? Whether it is, or isn't, it has all the elements of a great short story. I wanted to read on!
Happy Weekend!
Great shoes. I too am tempted to buy stuff that I'll never wear just to admire its beauty. Wish I was a museum curator!
oh my...but these are so desirable !
i've got a few hidden somewhere which i can't even wear...sigh
So appeasing to the eye and opposing to the back!
Where do you find these glorious images???
sigh. oh to be young again.
Go forth and conquer in these babies I say, xv.
Love this post! I have a pair of those! Never thought that perhaps I could display them on a shelf though! Good idea :)
I have heard another name for these babies, let's just say you could have a great return on your investment with one wearing...love them! smooches
I confess to having a few pairs of gorgeous heels that are impossible to wear for long - much less on pavement - but they are too beautiful to resist. These are quite something!
Beautiful...I would use this one as a focal point in my decor rather than my feet :)
Stunning and unique shoes, and I love the story! The pain we suffer for beauty-- I have a hard time wearing some pairs of heels for any length of time, but oh how I love them all the same (much to my husband's bewilderment!) xo
I would break my neck if I were to ever wear those shoes. they do look great. I loved your story. I wish there was more.
I love shoes, sometimes I buy them and I never wear them ..just because they mean something
Shoes, shoes shoes... have I mentioned how much I love shoes?!? It's Feet Art - but I have to tell you I can't buy shoes only to look at! I'd put those puppies on my feet if only to tip toe around my house to feel like princess!!
