Foot Art

Upon moving to Korea I have found that I have developed an intense interest in shoes. No, I haven’t gone on any shopping sprees to spend my months salary on shoes. Actually I have yet to buy a pair. My interest in shoes comes from watching them. Shoes stepping on the subway car, going down the stairs and walking along the street. In the shop window, through the subway corridor and on display at the department store. All of them shouting for my attention! I have never seen more shoes in my life! There are rainbows of colours, heights and shapes. Runners, pumps, platform, flats, open and closed toe, knee high, calf and short boots, sandals, evening heels, wedge and slipper. I have seen hundreds of each. All individually highlighted with gems, flowers, shells, laces, zippers, Velcro and buttons. I have caught sight of pine cones, feathers, children toys, fur and a globe. Wow! The possibilities really are endless. In all my years of shopping, I have never seen a better shoe selection. If you love art especially that of the feet genre Seoul is the place to shop.
