Generally the more 'upscale' the house, the more likely you are to be allowed to wear your shoes, but there are suprises each way. In my house I wear shoes or slipppers, my guests wear shoes. If weather is inclement they arrive in boots, carrying their shoes. That's a very Canadian thing, we carry shoes, half the year!Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-33732882671782815362010-02-26T07:58:55.406-05:002010-02-26T07:58:55.406-05:00Coming inside after wearing winter Aigle rubber bo...Coming inside after wearing winter Aigle rubber boots for a few hours, the discussion about shoes comes at the right time. I couldn´t wear high heels on these surroundings, not on pebble stoned streets. But I could not wear ballerinas either. Definitely my spring shoes must have some centimeters of heel. The best shoes are reliable French or Italian made. I happily spend even a larger sum on shoes, if they feel right on me. Only recently I bought my first ever pair of Louboutin´s. The heels are sensible and somehow the size is just perfect. I do change shoes during the day, but inside I wear woolen socks this time of the year. Over here it is a unwritten rule for everyone to take her/his shoes off, when entering a private home. The dogs don´t count ;)mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-55822525227406691722010-02-26T07:09:23.886-05:002010-02-26T07:09:23.886-05:00Great post!

But I do have to say they put out a lot of ugly shoes in between the cute ones. I just bought two pairs of Anyi Lu's at 50% off. I cannot believe how comfortable a heel can be!

The companion company is glorychen if you are more interested in something less classic and more avant garde.
