Ally, your price cieling is about double mine.

i don't like the kind with that weird ankle sock thing tho.

my feet are 1/2 size apart. the rockport almost-dress things (which are pretty good shoes) fit well enough, but i can't quite get away with those any more. for real dress shoes, there's a mid-range brand that's hit or miss for me, but after i walked through my last pair of those i decided i didn't want to deal anymore.

$35 for a pair of size 14s at the mall. Yay, I have spent my entire shoe budget for the year.

Sometimes I worry that my footwear choices haven't changed since I was 13 and seriously considering getting a mohawk.

$35??

actually, for less money i could have bought two (three, really) pairs of rockports in the two different sizes my feet are and picked out the right size shoe for each foot from each pair, and they still wouldn't be as comfortable as the ones i got.

I got lucky. First place I looked were $110 without anything larger than a 12, second place had a 75% off sale and everything up to 16s.

The director of my large tech department wears docs everyday. usually with strangely patterned socks.

― sunny successor (katarina), Monday, 12 February 2007 20:12 (seventeen years ago) link

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Monday, 12 February 2007 20:13 (seventeen years ago) link

those are pretty fucking hot. not $659 hot but damn, pretty f'ing hot none the less.

shoes and hot don't belong in the same sentence for me, but those are pretty tasteful as far as boots go

― nuneb (nuneb), Monday, 12 February 2007 20:16 (seventeen years ago) link

shoes and hot don't belong in the same sentence for me

this sentence is just a bunch of words to me!

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Monday, 12 February 2007 20:17 (seventeen years ago) link

they probably are great if you dress like this:

― chicago kevin has a lust for bacon (chicago kevin), Monday, 12 February 2007 20:18 (seventeen years ago) link

they were $898, so that makes them cheap, right?

― sunny successor (katarina), Monday, 12 February 2007 20:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't know when I last got new shoes! Christmas in Michigan, probably. Still no boots for Laurel in 2007.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 12 February 2007 20:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyway I could wear my motorcycle boots every day, probably, and be happy until spring. THEN the strappy heels come back out.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 12 February 2007 20:21 (seventeen years ago) link

i haven't bought new footwear since i bought my boots back in may. the boots i'm wearing today are like four years old.

I think I meant "a meaningless bunch of words." so...hungry....

sunny, I use that line of reasoning more frequently than I care to admit.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Monday, 12 February 2007 20:23 (seventeen years ago) link

honestly, I think they'd look great with a white minidress. and not too ridiculously costumey.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Monday, 12 February 2007 20:26 (seventeen years ago) link

These are not the shoes I bought today because I absent-mindedly put on brown shoes with black pants, but they are very close:

you need suede shoes to wear in the snow?!

of course not. however, when the snow's off the roads and paths but they are still icy for weeks, it'd be stupid to walk around in heels with no traction, and i am getting sick of wearing my sneakers all the time.

― Maria e (Maria), Monday, 12 February 2007 21:32 (seventeen years ago) link

emergency boot shopping this afternoon, as it turns out that i left my beloved tecnica moonboots in oh. i found a decent lookalike, although not quite as warm or comfortable (tecnica rules), and a pair of deeply discounted black suede slip-on vans as a bonus. i'm pretty happy.

I actually have thigh-high boots (though not cheap vinyl ones like that) that I have never, ever worn because, really, I don't have a very good reason to be parading around in things like that. Waste of a significant chunk of money, so far.

Major x-post, but I don't have a good reason either, and I do it anyway. (When my knee is not busted that is.)

I got these - very very comfy:
