    Lost Shoes Forsaken footwear – Dress Shoes and Sneakers – litter the lonely locations. By busy roadsides and distant reservoirs, Slip-Ons and High Heels converge on the verges. On riverbanks, along the margins of lonely ponds, fishermen haul-up rank Gumboots and Deck Shoes, missing Brogues, a puzzling Stiletto or Kitten Heel, as though they’ve stumbled on an ill-dressed scene, a crime. And sleeping there above the flotsam line amongst the husks of dried-out fish, discarded nets, the bladder wrack and ocean’s castoffs, a lover may notice a Flip Flop or Mule, or stumble across the rarer find of a single Sling-Back or Jazz Shoe, dropped over the bows of some expensive yacht as it slooped its way across the waves in New Year’s reveries. Or yet still on building sites, in car parks or subways, a solitary Oxford or an Espadrille lingers in the grime and debris, calling to its other. And who has not passed through a summer field to find, decaying in the corn, a Sandal or a Ballet Flat, a Moccasin or Work Boot that some farmer, startled by the presence of the overlooked scarecrow, lost in his retreat through the stubble; or the scarecrow himself, loping away from his hitch-post at midnight, who kicked a leg and shucked off a Runner, a Track Spike, a Clog forever abandoned to yield a home to mice? There’s a Glass Slipper on every palace driveway. New shoes, old shoes, leather shoes that linger for forty years beneath suburban bushes. A Blücher in a park hut.

  • ”Shoes”: a Componential Analysis of Meaning
    Vol. 15 No.1 – April 2015 A Look at the World through a Word ”Shoes”: A Componential Analysis of Meaning Miftahush Shalihah [email protected]. English Language Studies, Sanata Dharma University Abstract Meanings are related to language functions. To comprehend how the meanings of a word are various, conducting componential analysis is necessary to do. A word can share similar features to their synonymous words.

  • “All Shoe Fashions from 7 Basic Styles” by William Rossi, DPM
    “All Shoe Fashions From 7 Basic Styles” By William Rossi, DPM The shoe designers are a seemingly bottomless well of creative ingenuity. It's estimated that in the U.S. and Europe alone about 200,000 "new" footwear fashions are introduced each year--a million every five years. While perhaps fewer than 20,000 ever go into actual production each year, it's still a torrent of inventive artistry that seems to have no limits. But few realize that of this super-abundance, all footwear fashion stems from only seven basic shoe styles: the pump, boot, oxford, sandal, clog, mule and moccasin. You might be quick to claim that other basic styles should be added to those seven. But no, they'd prove to be simply adaptations of one of those original seven. For example, sneakers or athletic footwear are merely spinoffs from the oxford. A slingback or strap shoe is a version of the pump. The loafer is a clone of the moccasin. And so on. Now, two very interesting things about those seven basic styles. Not one was originally designed by or for a woman. All began as men's styles and later evolved into women's versions. Second, the "newest" of those seven basics is the oxford, introduced some 350 years ago. Not a single new basic shoe style has been introduced in nearly four centuries. Not one, despite all the creative energies of the designers. Now, right here it's important to distinguish between a style and a fashion. A style is something basic. The word is from the Latin "stylus," a pen-like instrument used to draw an outline or form.

RACHEL EVANS Bath Spa University Leopard in Kitten Heels: The politics of Theresa May’s sartorial choices ABSTRACT This article discusses the clothing choices of Theresa May as a female Member of Parliament (MP) and as the second woman Prime Minster of Great Britain. A Conservative MP since 1997 with a conservative background growing up a Vicar’s daughter and grammar school education, Mrs May’s sartorial choices have evolved to conform with an understanding of female MP’s as proxy men and to reflect British national dress as defined by tradition. However, within this conservative persona a discordant note is struck by her choice of shoes. Not always neutral, in this article her choice of fabric is examined as a form of ‘everyday resistance’. Compromised as these choices are, her choice of leopard print kitten heels is suggested as a form of subaltern resistance.
