Lilith of Tarth Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Okay, enough about trivial topics like politics and religion. Let's talk about the serious issues in life. Like about the fact that I now own not one but two pairs of red shoes. A shiny pair of red pumps and a cute pair of red suede Mary Jane flats with flowers embroidered on 'em. So what has shown up in your closet recently?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonius Pius Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Incidentally, a pair of brown sneakers. Perhaps not very flashy, but quite necessary.And a moth, but I threw it out, so it doesn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solmyr Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Black sneakers. I don't buy shoes often, but I'm glad i bought these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigima Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I posted these in the last shoe thread (which is several pages back and at 375 posts, so I suppose may as well have a new thread) but my most recent acquisition is a pair of Allen Edmonds McClains in Walnut. This pic isn't mine, but it has better lighting than I can get, so that's what you're getting.I'm kind of on the prowl for a pair of black Chelsea boots, but so far I haven't found any I love at a price I'm willing to pay. These are gorgeous, but I can't bring myself to drop that kind of cash on a shoe I am only going to wear occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I just bought a pair of red boots. But because I beat the hell out of my feet at WorldCon last week, I am wearing hiking boots. Stupid feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edda van Heefmstra Ruston Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Trying to get womens shoes in large sizes sucks!It's true, but there are specialty shops out there! http://www.prettybigshoes.com/site/shops/ I tend to look for wide shoes, not size 8+(IE), but a lot of these shops carry both.ETA: I am so happy to be collecting my boxes o' crap, because it means I get the rest of my SHOES back. YAY SHOES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Wolf Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Nice to see you again Lilith! Haven't see you in ages, though that could have just been me not being observant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd look like Ted wearing his red cowboy boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call me Odie Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 A pair of Mary Jane kind of looking ballerinas from Ecco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyanna Stark Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 My SO just promised to buy me a pair of 14 eye Doc Martens. I knew there was a reason I married him. :love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady narcissa Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Trying to get womens shoes in large sizes sucks!Tell me about it. Large wide feet here. This is why I wear mainly men's shoes. Speaking of which...I posted these in the last shoe thread (which is several pages back and at 375 posts, so I suppose may as well have a new thread) but my most recent acquisition is a pair of Allen Edmonds McClains in Walnut.I am a big fan of Allen Edmonds. We go to their factory once a year and I always get a few pairs there. Luckily my feet are the sample shoe size and they generally have some cool designs in my size that were never manufactured for the general public. Nicole Kidman actually wears a lot of their shoes since she has large feet as well.My recent shoe purchases were two pairs of black boots. One is a gorgeous soft black leather pair that I found in the men's section of Nordstrom Rack marked down from $700 to $125. The other is a miraculous find on zappos...waterproof black suede wide width women's knee high boots. I was so excited to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guerillacropolis Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Black One Star Converse sneakers. Not bad as far as cheap tennis shoes go. Weird that the website lists them as a women's shoe-they were in the men's section of the Target I go to and are 100% uni-sex.I prefer Skechers, but can't afford a good pair right now.

Sci-2 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I just bought a pair of red boots. But because I beat the hell out of my feet at WorldCon last week, I am wearing hiking boots. Stupid feet.Xray, do you find this relieves foot pain [generally]? [Or is it something specific you're using to them to alleviate?] I may have to invest in a pair.

Yagathai Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I was actually just looking around for a new pair of boots. i'm down to two pairs, both of which are starting to get pretty beat up. I've been considering the Doc Martens For Life collection, because of the lifetime guarantee. Also on the list: Pair of patent leather Docs, vulcanized rubber Docs for rainy days and some extra-wide workboots by Doc Marten.Nobody can ever accuse me of being disloyal to my brands.

Mlle. Zabzie Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Just bought a new pair of black boots for the fall. They have the perfect size heel, and I was able to get them in a wide. I love Zappos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angalin Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Out walking last night, I spotted a shoe sale down the street which included some Fluevogs. Something to check out later today, if only to ogle.Xray, those boots of yours looked great on! Did they really hurt your feet that badly? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 II'm kind of on the prowl for a pair of black Chelsea boots, but so far I haven't found any I love at a price I'm willing to pay. These are gorgeous, but I can't bring myself to drop that kind of cash on a shoe I am only going to wear occasionally.There was a gorgeous pair of short, black Prada boots on sale at one of the discounters that I saw yesterday. Fortunately they only had one pair, in size 6.5, so I couldn't buy them for my ginormous size 10 feet. Damn good thing, since they were $595.00, and if they had had my size. . . . . .

Daenerys Stormborn Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 i need to go shopping for a new pair of fall/winter boots. i'm thinking riding boots, black leather, low heal. very plain and simple. i can't imagine they'll be that hard to find. then again, simple doesn't seem to be the style these days.
