Take a look at the shoe porn on Bergdorf Goodman’s blog

I have a feeling that the dilemma in which I often mind myself is not a unique one. You see, I love to shop for shoes online, but more often than not, I hate stock images. I understand that companies are tasked with shooting and uploading the photos for hundreds, if not thousands, of items on a very tight timeframe, but I wish they’d take greater care in doing it. More angles! Better lighting! Larger pictures! That little super-zoom window isn’t enough, we want to see the entire shoe in full HD.
For how much shoes cost these days, that shouldn’t be too much to ask. But that’s why I love blog features like the recent on that Bergdorf Goodman had; the company’s editorial team took the best and most interesting of Fall 2011′s footwear and photographed it in a way that’s not only beautiful, but also shows the fine details, color and texture of the designs in a way that makes my trigger finger itchy. Note to retailers: These are the kinds of images that make people buy! We’ve got a gallery of our favorites (including the gorgeous Tom Ford heels up top) after the jump, but you can see the entire glorious set at BergdorfGoodman.com.
