Dear Manolo: Shoes With Soul

| Print Post This | Like (0) | Comments (0)

AT 40, I AM A LAWYER and an about-to-be divorced mother to a 6-year-old son. I need shoes that will lighten the stresses on my soul, fun shoes that I can wear with capri pants to the playground that will tell the other mothers that, even though I am an underpaid single mother, I still rock in my soul. — Monica

Manolo says, ever since he wrote about the curative power of shoes the few weeks ago, he has been receiving letters such as this. It is because Dr. Manolo, specialist in medicine of the broken heart, refuses to put the sugar-coating on the bitter pills he prescribes. If you wish to wash that man right out of your hair, go shoe shopping.

No time to wallow in self-pity! Rush to the nearest shoe sale, stat! This is the emergency! Can you not see that this woman needs shoes? Here is the Vera from Kate Spade ($160,Zappos.com), the pom-pom skimmer in red tumbled leather. Dr. Manolo says take two of these and call your best friend in the morning to gloat.

Each week, Manolo the shoe blogger answers your pressing shoe questions. Ask the Manolo a question at manolo@shoeblogs.com. Visit the Manolo at shoeblogs.com.
