Her mother had her own Museum of Shoes, so Grace decided she needed one too. Like mother, like daughter. While her mother's collection was more eclectic, Grace's is more extensive, and leans heavily towards black.
Lots of black.
Does Grace's propensity for black in her wardrobe tell us something about the inner workings of her soul?
No, she just spills a lot ... black hides the stains!

If you have no taste. Like Grace's mother.
Who listens to inane rap stuff.


Nobody messes with Grace when she wears these. Think 'Amazon Warrior Princess'.


 
These were very sought-after shoes in the early sixties. They were known as 'Beatle Boots'. Her grandpa had some.


 
Grace only has one of these. The other was lost at a Wiggles concert.


 
With these she's all set to audition for the Russian Womens' Cossack Dance Ensemble.


The classic running shoe. We're not sure what the 'S' stands for. Possibly 'Supergirl'... although we've never seen her cape.


 
Not many people would have the courage to wear pink Crocs out in public. She's not colour blind ...
we checked.


 
Heavy duty arctic boots suitable for a camping trip in Siberia. Also the height of fashion in grade 7.
But only in summer.


 
These were worn on the first day of school in grade 6, and then relegated to the closet when she discovered that three boys had the exact same shoes.


Here we have the oldest shoes in the collection. We may have them bronzed. Or washed.


 
These look warm and cozy. Are Grace's feet really that shape??


 
These are the classiest shoes that Grace owns. Oh, wait a minute ... these are Jack's.


 
Ballroom dancing slippers. Never used. Waiting for the right ballroom. (Not the kind in McDonald's. But you knew that).


Extreme hiking boots purchased in case she ever climbs Mt. Everest.


 
Black ballet slippers. Grace never actually did ballet. But she liked walking on her toes.


 
Black high-top running shoes. Very stunning when worn with white socks.


 
These were the height of fashion in 1996. Her mother still wears hers.


Grace's father used to wear these to work. They made him stop, so Grace inherited them.


 
Too cute for words. No, wait for it ... blechh!!


 
We never knew that rubber boots could be fashionable! Very tasteful!


 
Extra long laces were a fad in grade 6 for about two weeks. Until the tripping injuries forced the vice principal to ban them.


Definitely brings to mind the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz. Did a house land on these?


 
Completely normal running shoes. These can't be Grace's.


 
Glitter running shoes. Her mother made her buy these. Her mother likes glitter.


 
We have no idea what these were. But Gigi obviously liked them.


This pair of shoes was quite nice until her mother ran over them. And possibly a cat.


 
Snakeskin walking shoes. Officially banned in twenty-seven countries. But not in Alberta.


 
Roller blades purchased in hopes of becoming as cool as her aunt Emily.
But no-one is as cool as aunt Emily.


 
We're not sure what these are. Possible an unholy cross between high heels and ballet slippers. Jimmy Choo would be embarrassed.
