Something about red shoes…

There is something just wonderful about red shoes, especially shiny, sparkly, silly red shoes. Hans Christian Anderson wrote a story about red ballet shoes, called ‘The Red Shoes’ which was made into a film, released in 1948 about a ballerina who wore red pumps. It is a romantic but tragic story and starred  Moira Shearer, Marius Goring,  and  Anton Walbrook and was written, directed  by the famous production team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburge, known as The Archers.

If you Google red shoes, you get hundreds and hundreds of sites offering every sort of red shoe, slipper, boot, sandal, you could imagine, high hell, low heel, leather, patent, plastic, satin… red shoes… red shoes!
