Spinoff from what do you wear ** SHOES!!!

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.

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 ~

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. 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.

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.

My every day shoes are these


but I also got these a few weeks ago and wear them when I go out and it is yucky out


And this past weekend I bought some new ones but I paid $$$ for them and don't want to wear them and get them all nasty. I tried to find a picture online but couldn't. These are black and have like graffiti painted on them. Oh they are Chucks too!

OMG look at these

And these!


I love Chucks!

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 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 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.
