For shoe-lovers like me, receiving a pair of shoes as gift is a very personal act of thought. You got to know my size, and of course, my taste. But most importantly, you got to know which shoes are still missing in my closet, and which ones are sure to be worn.
That´s probably the reason why shoes are not commonly gifted on holidays such as Christmas and New Year. But if you know that the person you care about is a shoeholic, there´s obviously no other gift that can make her elated. That said, here are my tips on what shoes to gift.
