IT'S OFFICAL..I'm The Spokesperson for The Society of Women Who Love Shoes!!!

I am so excited to be the spokesperson for The Society of Women Who Love Shoes - "Healing Families of Abuse One Sole at a Time." Together we will be educating the public about domestic violence, advocating for the victims and survivors, and raising awareness on a topic that many don't want to talk about. I will be part of every event that I can because it is my goal to become a well known name in the fight against domestic violence. Remember "Don't Do It/Don't Take It," no one deserves to be abused no matter what.

One in every Four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime (National Institute of Justice and the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention).The cost of intimate partner violence exceeds $5.8 billion each year, $4.1 billion of which is for direct medical and mental health services.( U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics).

The Power of Shoes : Society of Women Who LOVE Shoes is a non-profit organization whose focus includes collecting shoes and other items for victims of domestic violence. Through our networking and social events we raise awareness and promote change for these victims and survivors.



The fabulous Dianne and Roger Samoff



The Power of Shoes began as The Society of Women Who LOVE Shoes and was founded in 2005 by Dianne Samoff in Houston, TX. After suffering years of domestic violence during her first marriage, Ms. Samoff finally escaped. Trying to get a job after leaving, she was given a suit and a pair of red heels to wear to an interview. Both gave her a sense of pride and hope knowing she was moving forward into a new future. Ms. Samoff felt the need to give this same source of hope to other women of domestic violence. She currently has a chapter of Society of Women Who LOVE Shoes in Houston, Dallas and Miami with hopes to expand around the world.  

"We all know that when a woman feels like a woman, there is POWER!"

-Dianne Samoff, Founder 

Together we can and will make a difference!!!
