Why, were they Uggs?

no, they weren't quite that bad. but still, i think they were suede (great idea in the slush) and sort of a dark buff color? it was like those boots were attractive girl anti-matter. i silently judged her to be functionally retarded.

whoa, those are like foot-binding dominatrix shoes. creepy.

Yes, those people's idea of "high" heels are 4-6" and up, but even with ultra heels the balls of yr feet should still be flat on the floor. The patent fetish things up there are strictly for the obvious.

Performing the saucy version of the NUTCRACKER?

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 20:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Why yes! From a seated or reclining position, naturally.

i remember a story on npr about some dude who spent some time in east africa with tribesmen who had never worn shoes and how their feet didn't even look like most other people's because they had never been constricted by stuffing them into leather coverings. apparently they have widely splayed toes with a huge separation between the big toe and the next one. what the hell do you call that toe anyway? the index toe? anyway, when i was in vermont for the nephew's christening two months ago i saw his feet and he had the separation between the big toe. i whispered to him to try to resist shoes at all costs. i'll be keeping tabs on the kid for the next couple decades to see if it had any effect.

We went shoeless most of the summers, except for church, and I remember that as a teenager my toes were still widely splayed out. Then I worked retail for a few years, in dress shoes.

i'm hoping unfamiliar girl on the familiar bus is on the bus again tonight and i'm hoping she has some decent goddamn shoes on.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 20:29 (seventeen years ago) link

THEN will you talk to her?

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 20:30 (seventeen years ago) link

only to upbraid her for her choice of boots the previous night.

My feet are still like that!

Me too, it makes me feel like a goblin.

i think the extreme fetish shoes are kind of cute, in a way (though completely unsexy). they're kind of like what a dame darcy-drawn girl would wear.

― Lauren (lauren), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 01:03 (seventeen years ago) link

they terrify me

― maunders (maunders), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 04:00 (seventeen years ago) link

They remind me of lobster claws or some other kind of dark arthropod appendage.

― Abbott (Abbott), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 04:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't like the look of the ankle-length ones, really. Knee length look better.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 08:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Those fetish boots are making me queasy. When I first saw them I thought someone had accidentally left the toes out of the frame.

Those paisley cowboy boots are beyond excellent, however. You should get them, Kate.

i did not see unfamiliar girl on familiar bus yesterday but i DID see a differnt girl in the same boots (except these were grey) and while i still think they're pretty gross, they did not make me turn away from unfathomably hott woman walking in front of my car on division last night.

as much as i hate all the bars/restaurants on division and the people that frequent them, some of them are genuinely amazing to look at.
