What is it with women and shoes?

By learningpool

red-shoesBreda wore a lovely pair of teal green shoes to work the other week.  They were round toed with a heel not too high and a little strap and buckle to keep them on.  We all admired them and asked where she’d got them from.

That lunchtime I went out and bought a pair, same colour, and was delighted with my purchase.  Clare also went and bought a pair too.  They were such good value that we also bought the same style in red.  That weekend Breda went back to the shop and bought the red pair and the brown pair too (they really are lovely shoes).

Great minds think alike.  But we probably wouldn’t have got them if we hadn’t seen them on Breda first.  So that got me thinking – that’s very typical of Learning Pool.

We’re very lucky (and humbled) to have customers who are prepared to share their good buy stories with others, especially when that means they stand up in front of an audience and say why they think others should buy a Learning Pool subscription too. 

How fantastic it was to realise, from our summer Customer Satisfaction survey, that 97% of our customers would recommend us to others, or had done so already. 

So thank you for sharing with each other.  And thank you, Breda, for the shoes.  As long as we don’t all wear the same colour on the same day we’ll be grand.

    Too late Janet, myself and Clare are modelling the teal green today!

    The shoe trend has also spread to my sisters in Southern Ireland and Scotland-perhaps like Learning Pool in the future……..

    Ooops Janet, I think that you spoke to soon!! Breda and I are proudly wearing our teal coloured shoes today!! But as we are in different outfits – Breda is in a skirt and I’m in jeans, I’m sure that no-one will notice!!!!

    Fascinating – I saw those shoes on you first Janet at the Seedcorn dinner. Then on Breda at the Steering Group meeting – they really are very nice. Must tell my sister as well…

    I’m intrigued. I feel tempted to buy the shoes just from the description. Hmmm, I wonder if I can get them over here? I need a photo of the shoes please, along with more detail!

    My 18 month old baby girl Eva is obsessed with shoes and handbags…already… what will she be like in the years to come I wonder?… thankfully her twin brother Ronan has yet to display such tendancies (I know it’s still early days yet), it makes me wonder though…where do they get it from?…until I realise I haven’t stopped thinking about how I can get my hands on those teal shoes in time for christmas…yes…a woman can never have too many shoes or handbags for that matter…

    Did someone mention shoes? but really im just popping into say “did anyone notice Breda and Clare in those lovely teal shoes on the 19th? ” LOOKING GOOD GIRLS .

    I think that we should put Breda in charge of all LP fashion since she has excellent taste and good eye for bargins!!! It could be a side line!!
