It’s a moment. Past the fairy tales of magical slippers and would be princes, there’s something celebratory and truly magical about slipping into your first pair of heels. From then on, a part of us trusts that all you need to take a big first step…is the perfect pair of shoes.

Remember…

1. The boots you bonded over with the girl who turned out to be your best friend.
2. The wedges you wore when you finally kicked that ex to the curb
3. The classic pumps you wore when you nailed that interview.
4. The lace-ups you wore when you stepped into your very own first apartment, not caring that it was, incidentally, a shoebox.
5. The sandals you’ve kept since you were a bridesmaid.
6. The Oxfords you met his parents in.
7. The peep-toes you always wear with the girls.
8. The life saving flats you walked home in after what turned out to be the best night ever.
