Pooja: Interesting use of gold
This shoe is made of 680g of pure gold. This is gold being used in an interesting way because gold is a very precious metal that is often used for jewelry, which is another kind of accessory, but it is unusual to see shoes made of gold because lots of gold would be needed, increasing the cost of the shoes very dramatically. Also, large amounts of gold can be very heavy, making it inconvenient and uncomfortable to walk in and wear the shoes. So, I thought that this was an interesting, but strange, was to use gold because of the uniqueness of the idea and the concept of using a precious metal to make an easily replaceable item like a pair of shoes.
