Tell about your shoes! I love my gold boots this week.

[Jackal]

I love fall because I can wear my Dr. Martens again!!! I've got two pair of black Mary Janes and I love to wear them with skirts and socks!

Tell about your shoes! I love my gold boots this week.

the same ones that I snogged?

[Fab]

I want to get some lady shoes so I can be a proper male lesbian.

[Cheryl K]

I need to buy a good pair of boots for this fall and winter, preferably under $100, and something comfortable. No crazy heels, I don't want to kill myself walking to class. I can't find anything yet that I really like! :( Help?

[rogaine]

i love shoes but i currently dont' have any cute pants or skirts that i like because i got fat. i need to be less fat, stat.

[Peter]

I really like wearing a very simple slip-on black dress shoe with a bit of height on the hell so I am 6'0" instead of 5"11 1/2"

wow this is the story of my life!

i've been wearing the same flats like, almost everyday since march ;( i want something newwww. There's a million shoes i want from Urban but i can't afford them right now and i need to get some new jeans b/c i don't want to wear them with what i have now because im sick of my jeans and need new ones. Yah so what if i can't write eloquently.

So yes, I won't invest till i get less fat and make a little money.

[LOST_kitty_k]

I recently purchased some shoes.

I also got a kick ass pair of combat boots, also Bongo.

[gangsta puffin]

there are pretty much no better shoes than boots of all varieties. i have somewhat dressy black leather point toe knee boots with a just right stiletto heel, casual black leather riding-style boots, camel coloured uggs, winter white suede/shearling lace up boots, eggplant coloured leather knee boots, mid calf black leather boots with sort of a platformy sole (but not, it's hard to describe) for wearing with pants... i had a brief brush with burberry wellies but had to return them because they were too small, and once i got that money back i didn't feel like spending it all again; i guess the thrill wore off. i love boots.

[ramblingrose]

the same ones that I snogged?

Yes!

[Static Split Screen]

I've never been that much into shoes. I buy some sometimes, but I generally wear either my green converse or my ugly work shoes. I plan on buying some Puma speedcats when I go home though because I love them.

[kendra]

i am already buying old lady "comfortable" sandals. y'know. dr. sholl's?

I do like shoes but I just HATE it when they hurt my feet. Which stops me from buying a lot of them. Also I'm a size 9.5 which apparently is the weirdest size ever, so no one ever has anything! I love looking at them tho.

[Needs Wasabi]

I like Chuck Taylors.

I have like 3 pairs. I used to have 4 but the soles started coming out of the 1st pair I ever bought. They lasted a while though..So, that was good. :)

[Cheryl K]

Also I'm a size 9.5 which apparently is the weirdest size ever, so no one ever has anything!

No, 10.5 is harder to find, imo. My feet are shrinking, I think. I used to wear size 10 and they would pinch a bit (11 was too big) and now 9-9.5 fits.

Oh, and I bought boots. These suckers oughta be comfortable: http://www.zappos.com/images/720/7209329/3034-231524-p.jpg

[kendra]

yeah they don't look like they'd have any crazy arch to contend with.

[natasha elise]

I just got these boots in black:
http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7245063.html

They are definitely lacking in comfort though :/

[Pele]

You know how a size 6 today used to be a size 12 or whatever? They slowly make the clothing size numbers smaller to make women feel better about themselves so they'll buy more clothes. I think they're doing the same thing with shoes. I used to be a standard 8.5 and now I'm an 8/occasional 7.5. Your feet aren't shrinking, the industry is fucked up.

And I'm kind of sad because for a while I was getting into high heels, but over the past month my knees have been majorly fucked up so it's back to flats and sneakers. I don't know if I can even wear heels anymore. I hurt just laying in bed sometimes. Anyone have 2 spare knees they want to trade?

[wasp in a jar]

have no spare knees myself, mine are in a right state and i have to dose myself up with painkillers if i'm going to wear heels for an evening now, but whatevs. i'd rather die than not wear heels.

[Jackal]

I FINALLY GOT MY STRIPPER SHOES!!!! Whoooo! HOOOOO!!!

They are hugely tall, platform, Mary-Jane style, black with white lace trim around the top! And they have a delicate strap across the top of my foot, with a tiny bow on it!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!! Shoe fetish realized!.

My husband kinda blushed when he saw them--and said, "Um, I don't think you should wear those out in public." :)

I thought I couldn't wear high heels anymore, since age 18 I've worn flat shoes mostly, but I was just out of practice.

[ramblingrose]

I love Mary Janes, are you excited about wearing them? As in, do you wear them around the house when you're in by yourself?

[Intern Kate]

i am already buying old lady "comfortable" sandals. y'know. dr. sholl's?


haha, i bought a pair of lanyardish pink flats that were Dr. Sholl's, and they wound up being one of the most uncomfortable blister-inducing pairs of shoes i've ever owned. it took maybe 9ish months to break them in (because obv. i didn't wear them regularly), but when i did, they were super comfy. three months later they've almost completely fallen apart. GOD wasn't that fascinating, all.

[ramblingrose]

I had some that were my mum's in the 70's, they were high and quite slutty, but she's a 7 and I'm a 5 so I could only wear them round the house.

[Intern Kate]

a 5! i'm jealous of cute small feet. my size eights look too long in proportion with my legs. runs in the family.

[Intern Kate]

i used to be a good swimmer though!

[ramblingrose]

I think an American 5 is smaller than a UK one? I'm a 37 1/2 in European, if that helps.

[Intern Kate]

oh right, i see. i think a five UK equals seven US. still pretty small i think.

[ramblingrose]

They're not the biggest feet, but they could be smaller. I wish I was a 3, they get all the best ones in the sale.

[Pele]

I wish I was a 6 because independent shoe stores sometimes have "Samples" from really expensive or unique brands at super cheap prices. Real cutting edge stuff, that you'll never see on anyone else cos they're samples of shoes that might not be coming out for a while, or might not make the final cut but that doesn't make them any less worthy. But I'm pretty happy being an 8 / 8.5, it's never hard to find, I really do feel badly for those of you with some freaky ass foot size like 10AA or 5 double wide :(

[Static Split Screen]

I really want my Pumas but they're $100 and I feel really poor.

[milpool]

i will take a picture of all my shoes later. i dont have very many yet but my collection is building and i dont wanna toot my own horn here, but i have pretty awesome taste in shoes.

[Jackal]

I love Mary Janes, are you excited about wearing them? As in, do you wear them around the house when you're in by yourself?

Yes, I bought them for myself. :lips:

[Intern Kate]

i really need cute shoes that are practical, in that i can wear them standing for 6-8 hours. and spill coffee and chai on them. so of course i had to buy instead these peep-toe wedges, deep-blue, suede, ten dollars. love them. don't know when i'll have the oppurtunity to wear them besides around the house, wearing pajamas, doing laundry etc.

[ramblingrose]

Just wear them, Kate! Don't hide their light under a bushel!

[natasha elise]

I find Rocket Dog shoes to be really comfortable, yet cute. Pretty much every pair I've ever had has been comfy be they boots, sandals, or maryjanes.
They were the only shoes I could wear when I walked back and forth to my college campus every day and had to look classy at work in between.

[Larkspur]

I heart Zappos. Shopping in jammies + free shipping/returns = yay. Oh and add a dash of filtering by wide size 9 only, and I'm on cloud 9. :D

[lisa]

i mostly wear what is apparently called 'athletic inspired' sneakers, meaning they look cute but theyre comfortable.
and i get all my urban outfitters flats (and well all my flats in general) on ebay for 10$ instead of 30$ plus tax in stores :yes:
the size thing, ive always been going between a 6-7 it just depends on the make of the shoe really, but i have wider feet i think so that's really the reason i need a 7 sometimes, there's always some room in the toes.
and to people who love boots, i envy you, i live in canada so i really should be wearing boots for a big part of the year but i find they always look ugly and are overpriced and everyone walks around wearing the same kind with their jeans tucked into them and i just cant bear to do that.

[Lalique]

I never ever wear heels anymore. I only wear my black converse, even to work, and these, if I happen to wear a skirt.

[Static Split Screen]

I want some comfy black nonleather boots without a heal, is it so much to ask?:(

[homer j. simpson]

yeah my current favourites are two pairs of boots, both knee length, both suede. one pair is a nice milk-chocolate brown, and the other pair is a gorgeous grey.

i love stilettos to pieces as well, anything that makes me tall :D

[cigar store indian]

I want to get some lady shoes so I can be a proper male lesbian. :lol:

Reminds me of when my cousins father showed up at her wedding wearing ballet slippers. (pony tail & tongue ring)
