One of freshman Isabella Gomez’s many pairs of extravagant shoes. This pair is Gomez’s favorite.

Isabella Gomez’s shoes may not be made for walking, but perhaps they were made for gawking—in the best way, of course.

The Prowl took a few minutes to visit with Gomez, whose shoes make quite a statement.

QUESTION: Why do you like shoes? 

ANSWER: “I don’t know.”

Q: What’s your favorite pair? 

A: “The rainbow ones with the clear on top. They go with more clothes and they’re colorful.”

Q: What’s your least favorite pair?

A: “They’re pink ones that are like an inch tall. They look like they bleed…it’s scary.”

Q: What’s the hardest pair to walk in? 

A: “None of them are very hard to walk in.”

Q: What’s the hardest pair to put on? Why do you wear them?

“The ones that are rainbow and not see-through. I just kept wearing them, it’s like a My Strange Addiction”
