AKA I WANT NEW SHOES!!! I must confess that I LOVE shoes!!!! I don't buy nearly as many as I would like to, but I do still love them dearly and if I could, I would have a pair for every outfit!!!
So here is what I want to know - what shoes do you find yourself wearing often? Not your houseshoes eaither - though I do know how attached we can be to those too!!!
I wear my black Steve Madden loafers with almost everything. They go perfect with jeans and add just a touch of class IMO. I would love to wear something in a heel but I am afraid that I would fall with the maybe, etc.. and I can not chase DS to easily in heels. :D
I also like to wear my brown clark mules. They are uber comfy!
I do have tennies, pumps, and sandals, but fo rnow, those are the shoes that I wear most often.
So what do you wear? I want some new shoes!

Hey Ashley :D~
I like my Skecher's. They're comfy, fun looking & they were way cheap. I tend to wear my black clogs a lot, too. Now, if I'm in church, I'll do heels- just b/c I can't the rest of the week. :p I'd say go to Ross or Marshall's. They always have a fun selection. Shoot, I'll go w. you after yoga on Saturday. Just to look, though. :lol:

In winter I wear Birkenstock clogs with socks. I only have one pair. I want a pair of black vegan Birk clogs but I am losing weight so I won't buy them until next fall/winter.
In summer I wear Birkenstock sandals. The pair I have had for 3 summers is still looking great (due to rotation with older sandals), and I bought a new pair on clearance so I will rotate. My old sandals bit the dust, so I just have 2 pair.
For serious walking or wet weather I wear a pair of Rykas.
I own 5 pairs of shoes (3 Birks, 1 Ryka, 1 pair cheap heels), a pair of slippers, and a pair of flip flops. DH has more shoes than I do! My boys each have 1 pair of athletic shoes, 1 pair of "Ugg" boots, and 1 pair of slippers. They each have an old pair of sandals and hiking boots, but I doubt either fit anymore.

A little too much for me, though :(
in the summer - birks - white, navy, brown.
and for this summer i got a cute pair of brown/silver sandals for church and going out
in the winter black lands end clogs, burgandy birk clogs, black square toed boots, plain black shoes for dresses for church
most days - my black slipper booties lol in the winter, no shoes in the summer for around the house
These are the shoes that I currently wear the most (outside of the house) sketcher boots, dr martin sandals and mary janes, and vans

Those are cute! I want a pair of the Earth vegan boots, but am waiting until next fall/winter after I lose weight. I went up a whole size since having babies and gaining weight, and since Barb's feet got smaller I am hoping mine will too.

I own 3 pairs of shoes (well, ok, I have dress shoes collecting dust in the back of a closet somewhere, lol).
New Balance sneakers are my everyday wear. Never going back to the cheapies baby :lol: White lowcut boy socks are a must.
Earth Shoes sandals in the summer, the big clunky brown leather ones.
And I've got a pair of leather slippers I made myself with sherpa inside for indoors. They're actually kinda ugly but really warm and comfy. Like robeez on steroids.
I'm a freak about shoes & feet...don't touch my feet, don't borrow my socks or shoes (my 9 yo dd has started it already with the clothes borrowing). Always wear white socks with sneakers, they must be properly fit at the shoe store. My dh has foot problems from the military, as did my grandfather and I've just seen way too many people who don't take care of their feet and it's gross. I would never go for a pedicure either, gag, who knows where their tools have been, lol.

I need a bumper sticker that says "so shoe me."

I wear Keen shoes in the winter. Keen sandles in addition to my Birks. I wear New Balance tennis shoes to work. I do not have a shoe fetish, so that's about all I ever wear.

Sandals. All the time - except for when I'm in boots... or heels. I actually wear a lot of heels, but they're the thong, flippy, sandal type. LoL
I have a pair of gold, flat, Gap ones that I got last summer that I wear a lot, and my thick black flip flops... maybe it's a Florida thing? LoL I have a pair of Nikes that I wear in the yard but that's about it.
I have tall black boots, tall brown ones, ankle brown ones... and I just got a pair of black pumps that look like Minnie Mouse shoes, but look great with jeans.
I don't have that many pairs, and I'm always on the hunt for more. The problem is, with size 11 feet it's easier said than done sometimes. :)

(With all the open toed shoes, yes - I have french manicured toes. :) )

Those are lovely Tina! I have a similar pair but they are just slides by Clark but very similar. I LOVE them. I wore them to Yoga the other day!

My every day shoes are Land End clogs in the winter. I have a brown pair and a black pair, though the brown pair is going to need replacement soon.
If I am going out in the evening, usually boots with a heel. I have three pair.
Summer shoes are usually flip flops or my Doc Marten sandals. My mom flipped when I paid $100 for them, but that was 10 years ago and I still wear them, so I would say they were worth it, LOL.

I could live in my Aisic running shoes but they aren't that cute :p My Aisic trail shoes are super bulky but comfy. My Nike Free are fun and comfy.
I have several pair of Keens, Danskos, reef sandals, cowboy boots (which are my favorite!) I've been looking for a pair of clogs like heels from Nordies...they have them online but never in the store. grrrrr. I need to try them on first. I have a serious shoe addiction. I used to have a bunch of Born but haven't liked any of them for a while but I saw a couple pair recently that looked super cute.

I prefer slippers (flip-flops to most) because I hate my feet being covered! But now that we live in a colder climate, I find I have to wear shoes.
These are my current favorites:http://www.delias.com/item.do?categoryID=442&itemID=44469&sizeFilter=&colorFilter=&brandFilter= They're warm and comfy. I'm trying not to wear them too much so I don't ruin them. Since I have to wear warmer shoes, I tend to get ones that slip on. I can't wear sneakers, only rarely.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Keens--I only have one pair, but I definitely have more on the list of obsessions:
http://www.keenfootwear.com/img/women/marketstreet/Sydney/W_Sydney_GRNT_445.jpg
I can't wear them as often as I'd like, since they're, well they're very red (way more red than the pic). And Mary-Janey, and in Wisconsin in the winter, that doesn't always go over well....

Last yr, it was my 14 dollar red gardening clogs from Fred Meyer. I wore them everywhere...with everything. I loved them and still wear them outside....in my garden!
This yr = BLISS. I *finally* got a pair of Danskos. Professional black clogs. DH made me get them, LOL. After drooling for 6 yrs, he was sick of me wasting time and never buying them. :cloud9: I wear them every day, now.

I have a pair of the traditional black low top converse but had to buy orthopedic inserts since they are completely flat inside.
My usual shoes are either my Fluevogs (mine are red, green & blue)
http://www.fluevog.com/code/?w=family%3AAngels&p=9&pp=1&view=detail&colourID=1389
I have another pair of Fluevogs that look like saddle shoes in 2 shades of brown & my steel toe black low top docs. Okay I have quite a few other pairs of Fluevogs. I can't swing paying full price but can't resist the deals I've found on ebay.
