Honestly, I’ve never *seen* Goyard shoes. Not up close, anyway. I mean, you see the bags everywhere (okay, maybe not *everywhere*, unless you’re, like, strolling through the Upper East Side, which, no thanks), but shoes? Is that even a thing? I’m seeing ads for handbags, belts, and even *scarves* (silk roads, ooo fancy!), but shoe?
Maybe they’re, like, super exclusive. You know, the kinda thing you gotta know someone who knows someone who whispers a secret password into a velvet rope to even *glimpse* them. Which, tbh, sounds kinda annoying. I mean, I love a little exclusivity, but not if it requires more effort than finding a decent parking spot in Manhattan (good luck with THAT).
Okay, so I looked online. (Goyard online Shop —-The store will not work correctly in the case when cookies are disabled.) UGH! Cookies! Always the cookies! Why do websites hate my privacy? Anyway, assuming I can actually get around the cookie thing (maybe I need a VPN? Is that even how it works? I’m not tech-savvy, okay?), maybe *then* I’ll find some mythical Goyard shoe.
But here’s the thing, even if I *did* find them, would I actually *want* them? Like, I love the look of Goyard. That classic, hand-painted chevron pattern… it’s iconic. But shoes? Would that translate well? I’m picturing, like, a really expensive version of those Toms slip-ons, but with the Goyard print. And, honestly, I’m not sure I’m feeling it.
Plus, practically speaking, aren’t shoes supposed to, you know, *withstand* things? Like puddles and sidewalks and questionable subway floors? Covering them in expensive, delicate Goyard canvas seems… like a recipe for disaster. You’d be terrified to actually *wear* them! They’d end up sitting in a box, judging you for not being rich enough to buy a separate pair of shoes for every single activity.
Maybe if they did, like, a Goyard-printed Dr. Martens collaboration? Now *that* I could get behind. Tough, durable, and with that iconic pattern? YES PLEASE. But until then, I’m sticking with my sneakers. (And secretly saving up for a Goyard Saint Louis tote, because priorities, amirite?)
