Um so it's not like I need or crave comments or anything but come on ladies!!!! Where is the love? It's been 3 days and nary a peep. This makes me sad. Hopefully this shoe will do the trick :) I mean seriously, what's not to love???
Channel your inner pin up girl with this gorgeous peep toe pump by Nine West. I love the retro vibe I'm picking up from these and that teal suede is to die for. There are lots of lovely little details here. From the one inch platform to the silvery pewter piping along the toe box and the cut outs starting at the vamp and making their way back to the heel. Tres delicious, no?
Sadly, there is no 'movement'
A shoes-on advocate posted recently:
Plenty of Reasons to Keep MY Shoes On
She used the word movement to describe the shoes-off trend. While it does seem a relatively hot topic on the internet, I don't think there is any movement as such.
If there was such a 'shoes-off movement', this blog would be the best example, but it is pretty unique in solely dealing with this subject. The Apartment Therapy network of blogs, following the wisdom of Martha Stewart, often advocate shoes-off, but they hardly consitute a movement either.
There are a lot of environmentalist blogs that advocate removing shoes. While they might be said to be part of a movement, removing shoes is only peripheral among their concerns (many of which are certainly not shared by this blogger).
Much of the internet support for shoes-off comes from people who just want to keep their carpet clean, protect their hardwood floors or who have been brought up in shoe-removing cultures and who can't understand why anybody would keep their shoes on at home.

Stats
I in stalled a stats counter. It turns out 88 people visited this blog yesterday. That is considerably higher than when I previously used a stats counter back in 2007. Back then I was getting about 35-40 at the most.
Thankyou everyone who visits this blog, especially those who support its aims. Please leave comments when you can.

New Colleague
I had a new colleague shadowing me today to find out how I run my project.
I asked her if she wore shoes in her apartment or removed them at the door. She said she always removed them and thought wearing shoes indoors was disgusting. She said that in a previous job, she had visited homes and had worn slip-on shoes so as to remove them, often surprising the people she visited by doing this.
This colleague was from Birmingham. I told her I believed that removing shoes was more common here in Hertfordshire and the south-east.
