Shoes reflect personality, demeanor, and class. The FOOTSTEPS we leave behind last forever. Thank you for a different perspective on this thing we call life Mr. Etu Evans.
"The process, power, politics, and price. My shoe writes the story of the life I lead each day. Thank you for the narrative of my shoes. Whether I feel confident or practical, my shoe assists in the fulfillment of the role I choose. Thank you for helping me create the footprint of confidence, or style, or practicality, or that of a fashionista. APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE MR. ETU!!!
Shoes are the diaries of our lives...brilliant and true! Well done Etu!
"Shoes are the diary's of our lives, captured in real time, step, by step"...soooo many take aways!!! Most edutaining presentation Tu. I just wish there was a Q&A. Can you imagine
This man has been an inspiration to me since I met him in Harlem NY. Just a barber on my daily grind and he stepped into the shop. He intelligent, patient, trustworthy, fashionable, and smooth. Etu, I'm not surprised. A job well done. Confidence portrayed. Again I have learned something new about what you do and the history of what you know of the power shoes. I applaud you my dude! A blessing to this earth. 🙏💪🏾
Kudos, Etu! You’ve truly left an indelible mark on the fashion industry! Well done.
Etu Evans is brilliant in his ability to teach others how shoes do more than protect your feet, they protect our legacies. Everyone who sees this will never look at their shoes or their footprints that their shoes leave behind the same way again.
This was excellent my brother!!! I truly enjoyed this presentation.
Etu, great job, outstanding speech. It is amazing how a SHOE can not only tell alot about a person, but change their life forever!! Keep striving.

"Style is a super power." Great stuff, Bruh!
An engaging speaker who presents a unique and interesting perspective on something that so many of us take for granted. Well, done!
"Heels force a woman's body into a natural state of arousal" - yes, I agree with this! Great talk Etu!

That’s my Frat brother. We connected 24 years ago upon me coming to New York after graduating from college. You have always been a fashion guru and classic man. I’m so proud of you Etu.
Great conversation as usual Etu, the power, process, politics, and price of leaving one's footprint is ones personal art and you are the epitome of that. Thank you for sharing.
Process Power Politics Price! Etu thank you for the thorough breakdown. Not only was it insightful but your presentation was fun and down to earth. You are a mentor for many.
You are a very brilliant and innovative shoe designer. Not only are you talented, but a perfectionist who strives to put out the best in fit and design . Thanks for your amazing gift as a shoe designer.
This is such an awesome speech. A very immersive conversation, and educational as well!
“Shoes are the diary of our lives, captured in real time, step by step by step”. Love it! Great stories and analogies how shoes are a symbol and play an important role in our lives. We stand on them and they move us to where we want to go. Great tie-in to making footprints for others to follow. Good to think about and keep aware of!
This was AWESOME! Very informative, you were definitely in your element!
Awesome conversation. Very proud of you ETU.

Etu excellent! This was highly informative and gave me some insight on why/how I make my own shoe selection. Thanks for sharing your experiences. What a great lesson on the evolution of the shoe!
I enjoyed the presentation It was like being at a read for a theatrical performance, very well formatted and spoken enthusiastically. I found the individual shoe type and personality wearing them to be the high point for me. great presentation you definitely left a footprint on my memory as it relates to my style of shoes.
Perfect timing! :)) quarantine brain food!!
Enlightening and insightful message! Would recommend for anyone looking to carve out their own footprint!
PREACH ON REV. ETU! So enjoyed your talk.....
Powerful, informative and very well delivered!
Adwoa Maximum Effect You took a simple object as the shoe and made it complex; yet simplified it to the point where we had to dive deep into our souls to question our motive and objectives as we journey through this ephemeral path called life. The effect of your message was whether we were purposefully executing the mandate that has been bestowed upon each of us as we serve humanity. Our eternal destiny will determine the ultimate price we paid for the souls 'soles' we preserved or... Assolutamente fantastico!!!
This was amazing. We hope to see a lot more content from you in the future. Great talent.
So interesting and thought provoking. I have always designed my own cowboy boots using hand dyed python and crocodile skins. Designed each boot then sent to my boot man in El Paso Tx. Favorite color layout was turquoise and yellow. A real true professional and classy production.
