Color Red website: Paragraph of Intent

My website will be informational and focus on red (or not) shoes from different periods and parts of the world.  Shoes can cause pain hence the color red, when worn eg high heel shoes or shoes that are crammed into shoes that are too narrow etc.  Red shoes can also be a warm/hot cheery color to spice up an outfit; or signify wealth to the wearer eg designer shoes with the red soles.  Shoes can be worn to attract the opposite sex and have many meanings eg footbinding enhances a Chinese female's chances to attract a better mate.  The bound foot indicates the female need not work out in the fields because her gait is so affected.

For my research I reviewed information from the Bata Shoe Museum, Toronto, CANADA.

Below is an image for a women's bound foot.
