Oh they are glorious, so pretty, shiny and dainty, they may bend my toes into unnatural shapes and give me posture issues that will ensure that as a forty year old woman I will require some sort of a back brace.  But what is the point of all that logic when I can dress my feet up and trip around town.

My particular weakness is Irregular Choice, they take decorating your feet to a whole other level (admittedly Manolo Blanik can probably do it  bit better but I just ain’t got that sort of money)

That’s why the latest escapade of Jimmy Choo has made me so happy, it has combined two of my favourite things social media and shoes. Finally the chance to use my geekery to get me free shoes. Oh yes baby free shoes, not half price, not 20% off from the ridiculous high price so that they still cost the same amount as your months rent. Free!

Jimmy Choo have started a Foursquare treasure hunt; catch a Choo, now if you don’t know what foursquare is I can’t possible help you, go read mashable come back once your educated. Basically some Jimmy Choo employee is wandering around London town checking into places, all you need to do is to check into the same place at the same time, and you get free shoes.  See all that time spent wandering round the internet, playing on twitter, checking in on Foursquare might actually result in a beautiful pair of shoes.

It’s renewed my love of Foursquare, I really want those shoes, I need them. Social media for social good, I mean how much more good can it get to give me a pair of shoes that will surely cripple my feet. I know I shouldn’t like it my  principles tell me that I shouldn’t want the designer shoes I should want some made out  vegan materials  but I can’t help it, it’s like a primal urge.

Now you will have to excuse me I need to go stare a my iphone until I see that catch a choo has moved within an easily reachable distance….
