Just got feet, don't got SHOES

It's boot season again. Which Frye boots should I splurge on?

At $400 a pair? Take your pick.

i need a normal shoe

i've got a pair of super comfy børn slip-ons i keep at school but i need a pair of darker brown laceup jobs for being normal and non sporty in

like god help me i might just go all in on the medical thing and get a pair of fucking danskos

Laurel <3 buckles:

When I opened this thread it temporarily stopped loading at this post and then it continued and at that moment the most recent post was this one and I did a total double take :-)

I ordered a replacement pair last week and threw my old ones away; the sides were actually ripped through.

The silver buckles were out of stock, need a new supplier.

my bf works in a medical (psych) facility and wears danskos lol

tho i think the habit was formed by food service tbh

i realized i don't have any "adult" shoes... just purple floral print nike hightops, dirty white leather high-tops, red and white striped boat shoes with bells at the end of the laces, and pink and white striped plimsolls.... i think maybe time to get some...

i found a pair of flats (from ebay so they cost a LOT less than they would at apc, still imho absurdly overpriced because they're not that sturdy, which was a surprise, i have some apc boots that are great)

i keep buying non-fashion shoes like running shoes or hiking boots, but i STILL need a new pair of plain black flats arghhhhhhhhh. as much as i love seattle i do not see myself purchasing any dansko clogs anytime soon. gah. daria, yours look nice! but i need something supportive.

more un-adult shoes that i just got!

wicked! i like those. where are they from?

(sorry to interrupt, but from here, apparently http://fatlace.com/ladylike/the-scoop-2/keds-x-opening-ceremony-the-animal-print-collection.html )

nice. i wonder if you can buy them on the internets. i love opening ceremony shoes.

yeah you can get them on the opening ceremony website... the sizes are weird tho...

i need new boots. considering some red wing iron rangers, or something similar.

ll bean apparently sells a very similar style for a good deal less than the red wings -- i've heard good things about red wings' durability but have never owned a pair. is the construction that good? like $100+ extra good?

i could go for a pair of white's semi-dress boots but I would never be able to justify buying another pair of boots ever again.

daria, are you still hunting for black flats?

is the pointy-toed men's shoes fad over yet? pleeeease?

oh i returned those ridiculous cheetah pony-hair shoes... didnt think i'd actually wear them

bought these

and these

http://www.triads.co.uk/images/products/zoom/1232985756-18100600.jpg

in the last week. the second ones (by shofolk) are beautifully made inside as well as out.

i want these too

http://www.sixwhitingstreet.co.uk/images/White-Enamel.jpg

but think i might be going a bit overboard at the moment. should i buy or not? i'm not flush but i have a bit put by for treats.

i love the way those look totally generic but refined at the same time.

put by - put aside in scottish.

i like the blue ones!

yes me too - straight early 80s in a good way i think!

haaaalp!!!

i need wedding shoes, and i know pretty much what i want, which is this style in white. but i ordered them and they are darker than fucking cream, and not even close to 'off-white'. i have searched high and low on the internetz and i can't seem to find this kind of thing. any ideas??

i got these (in black) in brooklyn this wkend (yaay nyc <3)

(longest url ever.)
they look oddly old-ladyish in pic, but are super cute on, and comfortable. once again, i go for the adult version of what i wore when i was like 6. lol/yaay :)

cute!
finally got some black flats :D

now need walkable black pumps with a decent heel. sigh.

how come i can't see anything

I can't see 'em either (in voice of Blossom from PowerPuff Girls).

is that it?

Oh WOW but then, I love old lady shoes. If the perforations on the front were slightly less flower petal-y, I'd run out and buy those myself.

Well, and if I had any money....

whoops, meant to do the right thing and flickr them but was being lazy! thx dyao :)
yes, i do love them! i have a soft spot for anything that reminds me of my childhood buster browns or whatevs, oh sigh, at least the heel makes me feel less twee, haha...

yeah so now all i need are ankle boots, a new pair of kicks and okay another pair of boots (non-winter)
SHOES
<3

recently purchased a pair of dove-grey suede bucks and they are amaaaaazing

two-tone wing tips?

ty and now on to ebay :D

no prob

Just got my income tax rebate, no longer broke, finally able to get a pair of shoes that are not my runners, my dress shoes or my dying (let's be honest, dead) pair of chuck taylors.

Of course, I do not know shoes. Time to read this thread start to finish.

laurel look! fake ghillies made by designer isabel toledo for PAYLESS. not sure the point of these, but i can't help but like them a little bit. i am a sucker for fake dancing shoes. i regularly wear a pair of low heeled tan character shoes when i need a neutral heel for work.

ps they come in silver too!

lolololol I saw those yesterday and thought maybe we could use them for parades or something when you have to walk a lot! Maybe. I'll mention it and see if anyone bites. Hee.

please tell me people aren't wearing these. they are HIDEOUS.
