And here’s the shallow reason….

In honour of that, I watched the 2005 movie Kinky Boots recently and for anyone who shares my love of boots, it is well worth watching.

Here’s the blurb:

Charlie Price thinks he has finally escaped the dead-end industrial town of Northampton with ambitious fiance, Nicola, when his father suddenly passes away, leaving Charlie unexpectedly in charge of the sinking family business in sturdy shoes. Trapped between a world of cheap knock-offs and to-die-for Jimmy Choos, Price & Sons seemingly doesn’t need a manager so much as it needs a savior. With mounting dread, Charlie soon realizes that to even stay afloat he’s going to have to lay off many of his dad’s loyal, life-long employees. Then, one dark night in Soho, Charlie is literally smacked in the face with an idea that could bring the factory roaring back to life. When Charlie meets tough, tender Lola and her teetering high heels, everything changes. They might come from completely different walks of life, but both men have reached a point where they have nothing to left to lose by taking a risk. Deciding to buck tradition and boring loafers, Charlie sets out to conquer the brave new world of sexy cross-dressing footwear, with Lola as his fashion advisor. But it isn’t just the assembly line that the disarming Lola transforms. As the make-or-break Milan fashion show approaches, everyone in the factory–from the macho Don to the stalwart Mel to Charlie’s confidante Lauren–finds the unlikely dreams of Lola and Charlie catching fire.

See, I’ve been telling my husband for years that the right pair of boot can change your life. Check out our new range of boots in for winter – there’s a gorgeous pair of Earth boots which are fabulous to look at and have the negative heel technology and the Camper boots are pretty special too.

Earth shoes are one of our most popular lines.

They are extremely lightweight. Earth footwear’s concept is that the heel is lower than your toes, which naturally improves your posture and helps eliminate back pain.

It is called Negative Heel Technology and is designed to gently stimulate and invigorate muscles.

This improves endurance and the company claims wearers bun more calories due to the 3.7 incline.

The Negative Heel is a part of every shoe they design.

So that’s my take on these beautiful shoes. Probably better we go right to the horse’s mouth and get it straight from the source.

What does it mean to be an Earthling™? Some say it’s a way of being. Others say it’s a state of mind. Truth is being an Earthling is whatever you want it to be. It’s about feeling free to express yourself – however, and in whatever way, you choose.

An Earthling takes inspiration from the offbeat, independent – and different – nature of our footwear, to wherever she/he wants to go. Along the way, it’s all about being healthy, fit, and true to yourself.

Here’s where you’ll see what Earthlings are up to – from the media showcasing our latest seasonal products, to celebrities attracted to our innovative footwear, to others – like you – who are benefiting from our technology, reading our e-newsletter, and generating testimonials with thoughts on our blog.

Here’s where you can learn more about Earth – our Company – with a section of Frequently Asked Questions about our Technology, our Products, and our Environmental Commitment. You’ll even see how you can get more involved by becoming an Earthling yourself, and apply for a position to join us here and work alongside us.
