Buy Beautiful Shoes to Stay Married?

Roland Mouret Dishes Up Marriage Advice: Buy More Beautiful Shoes!


Forget come-hither lingerie and romantic escapes for two--as far as designer Roland Mouret is concerned, the secret to keeping the spark alive in your marriage is to buy more shoes. Yeah, we thought you'd be on board with that one...

He's the new(ish) creative director at shoe label Robert Clergerie, and he says his work is absolutely essential to wedded bliss, unlike the classically French suggestion that taking a lover is the best thing for a marriage. "Take it from me," he tells the Telegraph, "beautiful shoes are better for your marriage than any lover."

He goes on to explain in more detail: "Shoes can be part of the sensuality and the sexuality of a woman. Not only this, they can allow a woman to inhabit different identities - and even help her to adopt a different character, should she desire it. Because shoes can change you. First, the shape, height and positioning of the heel affects the foot and then, upwards, it subtly repositions the rest of the body too; legs, hips, breasts - everything. This is the physical. And then there is the look of the shoe, the design. This affects the woman who wears the shoe, and sometimes the man who sees it too."

And if you're still not sold, he has this to say: "Because the best shoes can improve your life and your love without complicating it - and they should never disappoint you. Which is better than a lover, non?"

My Thoughts

Beautiful shoes to stay married?  That's new to me, I think, even if I'm such an afficionado of beautiful shoes.

But, I won't disagree that beautiful shoes can define a woman.  This is not a professional observation.  Just some conclusions from  a lover of beautiful shoes.  Beautiful flat shoes make a woman look comfortable with herself.  Beautiful heeled shoes clearly shows a sexy, glamorous identity.  Beautiful open-toed flats make us a look at a woman as carefree and relaxed.  Pumps?  Well, don't they look very professional.

And a woman with countless beautiful shoes, how would we describe them?
