Shoes are powerful wearables that allow each of us to step forward. Shoes upraise our feelings and emotions. They not only protect and comfort us but may indicate a person’s identity, status and gender. Shoes are vehicles that allow us to move and experience our environments. We wear shoes not only for their function but for the emotional charge that enables us to transition, connect and transform into the next stage of life. They empower us. Without shoes, there is no poetry of passage.
