<p>Home Secretary Theresa May has said she had no regrets about being famous for her love of shoes.</p>
<p>The Conservative MP &#8211; who faced questions about her shoes from journalists during a visit to Chelmsford, Essex &#8211; said the topic was often a useful &#8220;icebreaker&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mrs May hit the headlines in 2002 after donning a pair of leopard-print kitten heels at a Conservative Party conference.</p>
<p>A journalist said he regretted that she had decided not to don similar footwear when meeting police.</p>
<p>&#8220;I wear my shoes to match my outfit,&#8221; said Mrs May, who was wearing a pair of flat back pumps with a silver diamante badge as well as a three-quarter length black and brown zig-zag pattered coat.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have no regrets (about being famous for my shoes). The good thing about my shoes is that they are often an icebreaker.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mrs May, who chatted to journalists outside a Studio 1 Sixty beauty salon in a parade of shops in Chelmsford, added: &#8220;I was in the Commons recently and saw a young lady wearing a nice pair of shoes. I said I liked them and she said my shoes were the reason she became involved in politics.&#8221;</p>
<p>Last year she told the BBC: &#8220;It is quite widely known that I like shoes.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is not something that defines me as either a woman or a politician, but it has come to define me in the eyes of the newspapers.</p>
<p>&#8220;I wore a pair of leopard-print kitten heels to a Conservative Party Conference a few years ago and the papers have continued to focus on my feet ever since.&#8221;</p>
