Oxfords (also referred as "Balmorals"): the vamp has a V-shaped slit to which the laces are attached; also known as "closed lacing". The word "Oxford" is sometimes used by American clothing companies to market shoes that are not Balmorals, such as bluchers. On the not-so-good side, we have Wendy Wedge and her spoiled rotten son, Walter. Wendy owns the biggest factory in town. She has recently taken over Ivor’s factory and if she has her way she will take over every shoe factory in town. But for now, she will settle with locating the Flying shoes that she knows Sally created. Wi Shoe stretcher: a tool for making a shoe longer or wider or for reducing discomfort in areas of a shoe. One poem, written by Phebus Etienne with the title "Shoes", focuses on them. It describes religious messages and is 3 stanzas long. The first stanza is one line, whereas the second is 13 lines and the third being 14 lines. Throughout the poem the main character talks about their dead mother and their routine with her grave. Haitians are said to "not put shoes on the dead." as it makes spirits easier to "step over the offerings". [45] I found this to be a very interesting read. It's a bit wild at times, but in a fun, crazy adventure sort of way. I really liked it.

Pacily-written, wildly-imaginative and brilliantly-plotted, Shoe Wars has more than its fair share of real edge-of-the-seat moments and it's laugh-out-loud funny to boot (especially the *Foot notes which form a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the action.) There's an extra depth here too with important underlying messages about family, bereavement, grief, friendship, not judging by appearances and the importance of working together in the face of adversity. The need to support independent businesses against the huge corporations is also firmly at the forefront of the story - which seems more timely than ever in our current economic climate.

Especially since, if Wendy Wedge finds them, she will steal them for herself, win The Golden Shoe Award, and take over all the shoe stores, making all the shoemakers work for her in every town. Wendy Wedge getting her hands on those flying shoes would be the worst thing ever. Readers who have devoured Captain Underpants, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and the works of Raina Telgemeier will love the high-energy, hilarious antics of the Foot family from one of the largest names in the UK. a b "Dangerous Elegance: A History of High-Heeled Shoes".

It's like if Cruella de Vil was obsessed with shoes instead of Dalmatians, and he had a son, that would be Wendy Wedge.
