January 24, 2016Hello, my name is Barb, and I'm a shoe addict. My insatiable attraction to new shoes began with my first pair of...but enough of my sordid history--let's get to the good stuff. In this unapologetic, self-aggrandizing paean to shoes and shoe lovers, Meadow and the contributing writers (employees of DSW and loyal shoppers at same) share personal shoe anecdotes, fashion tips and inside secrets of the business. Sure, it's a book-long infommercial for DSW, but it's fun and funny, slickly designed, and cleverly presented to entertain the reader who loves shoes.

It's a commercial for a shoe store in the states, so I can't shop there, but apart from that, it is a fun read for a shoe freak. I love all the lines about how if you feel bad, just go buy a pair of shoes. It'll make everything better.
