Somewhere, Carrie Bradshaw is smiling. And it’s not just because we’ve dedicated a whole article for the sake of shoes, but because we’re celebrating the diversity of shoes in all their glory – and hence favoring the ownership of unlimited ones. Because no, you can’t ever have too many shoes.

Now this statement holds especially true when it comes to heels, as one can argue forever about this issue at hand but at the end of the day, each and every person is going to need a variety of styles. We’re not just talking about the fashionable side of it – although it is important – but we’re also talking about functionality and practicality.
