If you are one of the 700 million monthly users of Instagram (which, let's face it, you most likely are), then you've probably seen the infamous shoe selfie trend that has taken the platform by storm. The "from where I stand" hashtag may seem like just another artistic way to show off your new kicks, but it can speak so much more than that. 

If you have no idea what we're talking about, the idea is very simple: Look down at your feet wherever you are right now, snap a picture and post. It's a simple snapshot that portrays a unique perspective and shows your world through your eyes. 

From pregnant bellies to toes in the sand, you'll find millions of images capturing little corners of people's lives. Here in the Okanagan, we are lucky to live our lives with one of the most stunning backdrops in the world. So, naturally, Kelowna locals have snapped some of the the best shoe selfies out there. 

Looking at these photos, it’s hard not to imagine if it were your own feet in the photo, standing in some interesting place or dangling over a beautiful view. Sometimes all it takes is a little change in perspective to see your life in a whole new light!
