Shoes are very important. Let’s get one thing out of the way, I love shoes, it’s safe to say I am a shoe fanatic or as Backyard Shoez would put it ‘I am a shoe-holic and I don’t care’. Reasons, why I am so passionate about my shoes, is simple. A great pair of shoes will tell people more about what you are, than your words will. Shoes speak to your personality.



You know the saying that goes ‘You can judge a man by his shoes’ and the song ‘Uliza kiatu’ (ask my shoe)? Well, we couldn’t agree more with these statements. So we’re going to tell you a few things about a woman’s personality by the shoe she wears!
Flashy stiletto – these are hard-working divas with excellent taste. They are open to possibilities/ opportunities and conscious about fashion.
Running shoes – these women tend to be goal-oriented, organised and are the quintessential multi-tasking woman who takes care of everything.
Flats – this woman enjoys working hard behind the scenes, but is focused, modest and generous.

Court shoes– these are boss ladies who are very competitive in nature and can be quite intimidating to anyone who cannot keep up with them. Watch out if she puts on red courts because she is coming for blood!
Wedges – these are self-confident, graceful, self-assured women with a strong presence.
Loafers – they tend to be perfectionists and very steadfast.

Mules -these ladies may be a little shy, but they won’t be too uncomfortable with attention.
Clogs -this is a free-spirited woman who loves the outdoors and nature.
We wear our hearts not on our sleeves, but on our heels. What is your shoe personality, share with us and be gracious enough to tag us!
