I carried those ruby red shoes through the streets of the city, carefully contained in their crisp white box, in a crisp white bag. I reached the office and slid out the white box. Breathing deeply, I opened the lid and revealed those two perfect shoes, nestled within the soft, white embrace of the tissue that surrounded them. They seemed shy, coy perhaps, a little uncertain of my regard for them. I reached out my hand and gently drew them from their carriage and placed them on the desk in front of me.
Once again I admired their form: the red beauty of their colour, the texture of the leather, the fineness of the straps, the tall elegance of the heel.
Suddenly, I pulled from my feet the dowdy, everyday shoes I had been wearing, and reverently slid the ruby red shoe onto my foot. The slender straps I slid into the waiting buckles, and drew them tight. I placed the second shoe beside the first, then fastening, and then standing.
Once again, there was a trill that ran up my spine at the sublime fit of these shoes. It was if they had been made for my feet, and my feet alone.
Suddenly, I pulled from my feet the dowdy, everyday shoes I had been wearing, and reverently slid the ruby red shoe onto my foot.
I stood, and the cuffs of my pants slipped down, demurely, covering the ruby red shoes. I stepped out, hesitantly as first, unsure of myself and unsure of how things might be. As I grew in confidence, my pace lengthened, quickened, and I walked forward with grace to the kitchen on the other side of the office. I was pleased, very pleased, at how our first encounter had progressed, and I poured myself a cup of soothing herbal tea.

“Nope,” I replied. “They were on sale.”

Beautiful pair of shoes - hope you wear them often :)
Why thank you Black Rose! On the two days I work in the city I put them on as soon as I get into the office. At home, I regularly traipse around in them as some kind of modern 50's housewife ^_^
Oh, and thanks of visiting.
There's nothing like a special pair of shoes :)
