The American economy is not happy. The European Union is even less happy. And the Asian markets are, you guessed it, totally unhappy.
But shoe designers want you, more specifically your tootsies, to be happy in super cute, super colorful, super sculptural footwear.
Let’s take a look at some examples of potential female happiness, Seraphic Secret’s picks for the perfect Chanukah or Christmas gifts.
Dior's clever and playful wedge sandal references children's blocks. “Honey, it's playtime!”

I’d try those kitty shoes if they came in a flat version. I agree with Barry — bad feet and stressed spines aren’t sexy.

Nice shoes, but they really ought to pay those models more, so they can afford some hose.

Those designs are mostly inspired silliness IMHO, but I’d love to find a pair of those Nicholas Kirkwood flats under the tree!

If the Asteroid spike-toed shoes came in flats I would definitely wear them.

LOL, I think that if they had big thick heels, they look like something Gene Simmons would have worn on stage with KISS!

I sent the link to my youngest. She wants a pair for Christmas. Robert would not be surprised.

The Tory Burch golf shoes and the Kirkwood flats… all else are too “fashionable” to be comfortable!

Bad feet aren’t sexy. For that matter, bad anything isn’t sexy.
