Ok, the ultimate shoe thread. I'd like to find out the latest shoe trends and designers..

I saw a pair of shoes the other day on Drew Barrymore with a red sole? Her shoes were gorgeous.

I think she was wearing Christian Louboutin's shoes!

You can spot a Christian Louboutin shoe from a mile away because of the red soles. And love his peep toes! (NOTE: Other designers use red soles also, so the some shoes may not be CL!)

I'm still loving my Stuart Weizman stiletto black boots I bought from Bloomingdales this winter. Love love love 'em (even if they were outrageously expensive!). But I'm in a spring mood, and ready to go buy some fun colors in heels. Bright pink or yellow, I'm thinking. Maybe espadrille wedges. I dunno. I gotta go shoe shopping! A girl can never have too many shoes.

(Odd, too, cause I've been on a flip flop binge for the past six months. Having a weird winter, I never really put my flip flops away. I've got some killer colors, though, and they are so darned cute and "California", y'know!)

I love shoes too... except for pumps and heels any higher than 2 inches or so ... they look great on the rest of you, but I refuse to wear them. I want cute, but comfort overrides cute.

Costa, I have a thing for flip flops too, but don't get to wear them much more than half the year... they are just now starting to make their way out of hibernation and then I will practically live in them (except for work) until sometime in October.

I do a lot of my shoe shopping online. Some of my favorite sites:

http://www.flipfloptrunkshow.com

http://www.piperlime.com

http://www.zappos.com (my favorite... not always the lowest prices but sooo easy to use, huge variety, and customer friendly, plus you get your shoes really quickly)

Oh, and I love Target. I bought two pairs of flip flops there last week, both knockoffs of pricier brands, for super cheap.

LOL!! After poking around in "some" threads, I realized we really do need a shoe thread. I'd love to read about the different shoe styles and designers.
I WANT a pair of Louboutin's shoes. They come in different heights, too. I was always worried about designer shoes because of the higher heels, but I'm loving the variety of shoes for everyone.
Costa, I used to wear wedges a long time ago. I'm glad to see them back. They are more comfortable.
That flipflop site is great. I already see a few pairs I want.

Amazon's new partner, Endless Shoes and Handbags has a great selection of shoes. It's an easy site to shop on, and you can sort by color, style, and so on (there's a pair of pink heels that I'm in love with!).

My mother would love you people with foot/shoe fetishes! My dh told me I needed to go buy 'one' good pair of shoes, so I headed to the local stores knowing I wasn't going to find 'one' good pair of shoes that had a proper fit. Except for the seashell pair I'm wearing and forgot to photograph, this is what I got:

A galpal of mine came over the other day in some yellow polka dot wedges that were really cute. Of course, she shops at least four times a week, so it's easy for her to have a great find.

If I could afford *Cole Haan,* I'd get a pair from their Nike air collection.

Other than that, I'm a flip-flop gal year round. At least in the house, oh, there was that one day...C

I agree with you, Vee. I would buy a pair of those Cole Haan Nike high-heeled pumps in an instant -- if they weren't so expensive.

I am a fan of an unusual shoe. I like bright colors and unusual styles, though my very favorite style remains the mary jane and modified mary jane styles.

I am a zappos addict.

Who needs shoes when the only place you ever go is the back yard, the grocery store, your friends' house, the bowling alley or the computer room, anyway?

I Love shoes! I have all kinds & colors & can't go shopping without picking up a new pair or two.

I usually go through my shoes once a yr just like my clothes & rid myself of any that I haven't worn in the past yr.

LOL. I have a pair of red glitter flip flops. Everyone always asks me about my ruby "slippers." So far, whenever I've clicked 'em, I've not gotten home any faster!

And yeah, Grace... now that I work from home all the time, what do I wear? Slippers. Workout shoes (to walk in and work out in). Flip flops. More slippers. More flip flops. And yet more flip flops!!! You got some cute sandals, too!

Ya'll will be so disappointed with me, lol. Right now I have a pair of sneakers and a pair of slippers. I don't even have any dress shoes (though I wouldn't wear any type with a real heel cuz I'd kill myself) or sandles or flip flops. I'm rather pathetic in the shoe department.

Pathetic may be putting it mildly! :-)

Although admittedly, the only "shoes" I've bought lately ARE flip flops. I bought my black stiletto books late fall, and another pair of brown high heeled boots right before Thanksgiving. Oh wait, I also bought a pair of brown stiletto pumps! Hmmm... Still, three real pairs of shoes in over six months. And probably 10 pairs of flip flops. I think I'm slightly skewed! (And no comments from the peanut gallery!)

LOL. I have friends (who have closets full of shoes) that think I'm nuts. Even when I worked I never owned more than a few pairs. Shoes just aren't something I spend a lot of money on...mostly cuz I'd rather not be wearing them. They rank right up there with bras for me.

Stuart Weitzman is my favorite shoe designer. I'm waiting for the right time, right shoe, and right price to buy a pair though. I'm just happy he makes them in a size 4.

I've recently bought a couple pr & worn each one only once. Both of them totally hurt my feet to the point that I don't know if I'll ever wear them again.

one pr is a red wedgie sandle with the top in braided leather. It's that braided leather pinching in on the sides of my feet & the tops of my toes that hurt. It's not between the toe so I'm thinking of trying it again with hose (I think I just need to break in that stiff leather).

the other is a navy blue patten leather closed toe with strap around the back of the heal & 4" cork heals - they have about a 1/4" platform under the ball of the foot. These are comfortable to start with, but I think because of the heal size, my foot crams down into the toe section.

Yep - the shoes are the right sz (I always try on 3 sz's even though I know my sz because just like clothes, shoes run different).

Any suggestions on how I can make these shoes more comfortable?

You need to loosen the leather. Umm try that stuff baseball players use to loosen up their gloves.

I remember my Grandma used to use wooden feet looking things that you could put in your shoes & kind of stretch them into thinking they were already broke in. They had little adjustable screw like things where you gradually did the duty. She always did this task to her new shoes b/4 she would wear them. I wander if they still make such a thing.
