They're John Fluevogs (as are the ankle boots below them). Fluevogs are my favorite, but they're waaay expensive. I only get them on special occasions. The mary janes I got as a gift one year from my entire family! (They gave me a gift cert).

Wow, I am thinking they would be darling with a pair of black skinny jeans and a babydoll style halter top. YOu know, for that night out on the town!

OK I'm a freak. Just went into my closet. Here is about 1/4 of my shoes:
I'm also partial to these shoes, which are brighter teal than they look in this pic and have a smashing red heel:
These are another pair of Aerosoles work pumps -- no one ever would guess they're Aerosoles and they are SOOO comfy:
But if I'm being honest, my feet are most often in these:

Taking notes here. I can wear the Sketchers at work with jeans, since I'm on my feet all day. I love some of the dressier shoes pictured up there. Aerosoles look great for me. (Dressy but comfy)

Yankee, I love the first red pumps!!!! i tried on some chanel quilted red knock offs but they weren't even comfortable for standing around and looking pretty shoes!!! love the teal and red heeled shoes too! another really cute and comfy casual shoe are Gekko's flip flops, they are Croc knock offs. Comfy and some cute colors.

I worked for years in heels on tile over cement floors. The trade-off for my foot pain now just wasn't worth thinking I looked so sexy in my high heels. I haven't had a heel on in probably 15 years and never intend to wear them again. Just an old lady with experience warning you young whipper snappers what could be in your future. Let's be careful out there.

Okay, Yankee, you have just caused me to scroll through 44 pages of Clarks shoes at Zappos looking for those low-heeled black shoes in your 3:16 pm post. Where did you find the picture?

My closet is full of aerosoles, my absolute favorite boots from last years collection were suede flats. formal work shoes I have the classic ferragamos, and I have a couple of pairs of Maglis.

Found them! Yay!! Thanks. Well, poopie-doo. Reviews say they run a half size small, and I wear a 10, and they don't make 10-1/2's.

I wear a 9 or a 9 1/2 and I ordered the 9 and to me they fit fine. Zappos has a great return policy -- you could order the 10s and if they don't fit, send 'em back free of charge.

Shoes. 1 pair of tennis shoes to wear everywhere but yard work, 1 pair tennis shoes to wear doing yard work / messy stuff, 1 pair of flip flop type sandles but no thingy between the toes, and way back somewhere a pair of low heeled pumps for the very few times I wear something besides jeans, sweats, or shorts. That's it. 4 pair. Oh and the pair of Nike high tops from Jr High and the hot pink 50's style high tops, from High School, but I don't were these anymore. Just sentimental. So 6 total pairs of shoes, 3 I wear all the time, 1 very rarely wear, 2 never wear.

Mods, can we have Serate and Wardog banned from this thread? It seems only fair if I am banned from the hair thread that they be banned from here. Next thing you know, one of them is going to blandly pronounce, "It's just something to cover your feet." Yankee, I did order the shoes before I came back here. I put them in the shopping cart when I first found them today and decided if I remembered I put them there, I might order them. I went back once more and looked at them but didn't order. And then I remembered them again and went back and ordered. LOL.

juju. lol i actually erased one paragraph of my post. it went something like this: ....at least you didn't mention all the children who couldn't afford shoes. i was going to then add a wink, wink. i then thought, no, not a good idea. i'm a very classy broad and i know when to moderate myself. :>) eta: serate? why would i want to rent closet space if not for shoes???

Nuh uh Juju, shoes do more than cover your feet, they keep them clean and your toes warm! <running out of thread now>

LOL so this is the foot fetish thread eh? holy moley YankeeinCa. If that is only 1/4 your shoes,you must have spent enough money to feed a small country for a month LOL I dont know about you guys, but I was raised low income and everytime I consider buying a High priced shoe I feel guilty. Mind you, I hardly go out anymore so I dont bother keeping up with Stylish shoes. Last ones I bought were just under $300 but Wow they are comfortable walking shoes. my favourite sneakers were only Five Bucks on special though. LOL They are really worn out and I'll never find another pair ...sigh!

I guess I'll be joining the non-shoe-obsessed bunch here although I do have more shoes then War. I probably have a total of 15 pairs of shoes BUT most of them are flip flops, sneakers, and slippers with a couple of pairs of hiking boots thrown in and one pair of black and one pair of white dress shoes. One thing I will never understand is people that will pay $100-$200 for a pair of flip flops or sandals. That's insane! I get mine at Walmart and never pay more than $12 for flip flops and $20 for sandals. Even if I were rich I wouldn't pay more than that just on principle. I'll pay more than that for dress shoes but not by a lot. Shoes just aren't my thing. Clothes aren't either. Oh, and purses? Forget it. I have one purse at a time that I use for a few years and then buy a new one when it starts wearing out. They are also cheap so I don't care if they don't last long.

Aren't shoes just something you have to wear when you leave the house? And then only if you're going somewhere else, not if you're just meandering about the yard, and counting the dandelions and throwing the tennis ball for the dogs.
