Ooooh, ooooh, shoes! I love shoes! :D My favorites are...oh, boy, that's tough...well, for summer I like my wooden wedges with criss-crossy straps the best, and then for winter my Docs (I've got 2 pairs--one that's black patent leather and the new pair, which are dark red and gorgeous! :) ). When I want something a little different I break out the vinyl go-go boots or the cowboy boots. Shoes are great. :cool:

I have a pair of spectator doc martens. I bought them when I was in 11th grade. When I wear them I get a lot of compliments.

etahannah, I like that you dance all the time. :)

My shoes:
Cool sketers I just got.
DC shoes tennis shoes.
Flip flops.
Also, I have a pair of spectators but they are more dressy not docmartin types and only look good with a suit.
Plus requistie dock siders causal and black dres shoes that I always get the "nice shoes" line. I think they are bostonian or rockport or something like that from Hechts.

Did ya shoe lovers happen to catch last Sunday's SEX IN THE CITY? Oh my lord....Carrie goes to a party with these $480 pair of shoes on and because the party throwers have children, the guests have to leave their shoes at the door. Then when Carrie goes to leave hers are missing. It's so funny. The hostess didn't understand why she should have to pay for "Carrie's extravegant lifestyle" so Carrie registered at the place where she bought the shoes and called the hostess to say Congratulations to ME, I'm NOT getting married, and oh, I'm registered here...the lady goes and ends up buying her that pair of shoes.

But on my budget, $480 pair of shoes IS a little much. The most I've ever spent on shoes is probably $100 for a pair.

My favs are my doc martin sandals. I have a hard time shoe shopping cuz I have a high instep and so none of the cute slinky shoes fit me :(

MattUMASSD 08-19-2003 01:34 PM

Hechts...so many childhood memories

ZZ-kai- 08-19-2003 04:11 PM

All-time Greatest Footware....
 
....MoonBoots. Remember those suckers?

Allie 08-19-2003 05:29 PM

Hootie, I LOVED that episode. In season three Carrie is mugged and the guy tells her to hand over her blanacs :( So now she has lost 2 pairs in six seasons that I know of.

As for shoes...

Flips,

Clogs for fall and partially winter

I wear all sorts of boots for winter, but not Docs, they feel too heavy to me.

Spring comes and I wear my Birks here and there.

Of course little sexy strapy things for hot dates and with capris if you want to dress it up.

I also have little Columbia boots to wear to class in winter incase it's one of those blizzard days, and because last winter I had a night class which I HAD to walk to :( But they match my Columbia coat :) So it's all good, there cute LOL

Oh and my Nike running shoes for jeans and the lettered sweatshirt for a little bit of dressdown action.

steelepike 08-19-2003 06:31 PM

I knew this was not what i at first thought it was. Now i am sad.

nucutiepie 08-19-2003 06:48 PM

I have a shoe problem. I probably have like ten zillion pairs.

Particular favorites:
White Jack Rogers Sandals
Black Charles David D'Orsay Pumps with 4 inch heel and ankle strap
Black coach loafers
Red BCBG round-toed tstraps with 4 inch heel
Black Stuart Weitzman Pointy Boots
Pink and camel Pumas
Rainbow Sandals
Black Charles David Sandals with 4 inch stiletto and ankle tie

...I could keep going. So this is where all of my money always goes! Into the money pit known as my shoe collection!:D

Lady Pi Phi 08-19-2003 08:07 PM

I love shoes too!!!! You can never have too many shoes!

I don't particularly have a favourite brand of shoe. But my favourite shoes for the summer are my Steve Madden slides. I've worn them so much they're beginning to fall apart. I really should get rid of them. I'll throw them out when I'm packing for school :). Then for the fall I like my suede loafers or my knee highboots.

I love shoes, basically any shoe that I like I want to have...then I have to get a bag to go with them :D

Thrillhouse 08-19-2003 08:37 PM

reebok pumps were cool when they first came out:D

FiReKraCkEr 08-19-2003 09:15 PM

I am a flip flop type of gal....I own about 35 pairs of them. Right now I am rocking my Reef zebra print ones!

I also am a HUGE fan of the Kenneth Cole shoes named Supper Club.

LuaBlanca 08-20-2003 12:38 AM

I have this pair of sandals from Roxy...they're about 2-3inches black foam (flip flop material) on the bottom and a layer of cork on the top with a wide band of black leather to hold your foot in place. On the leather band there is a large embroidered flower and leaves...it's not gaudy though they're adorable and I get a ton of complements when I wear them. They look perfect with jeans, skirts, capris, EVERYTHING!

I love Steve Madden shoes.
The little ballet-slipper inspired mary-janes with little embroidered details are adorable.
I love flip flops (I have just about every color, and 2 each of black and red because those are the colors I wear the most!)
I LOVE my black leather, lace-up, knee high boots. They're awesome.
Speedo Shower Shoes. SO COMFY!

MeLikey 08-20-2003 12:50 AM

I love flip flops, esp. my DKNY ones, these floral ones I got from Hawaii that I always get compliments on, and my letter ones.

I love my Diesel, DKNY, New Balance, and Nine West sneakers.

For work I love my Kenneth Cole and Nine West shoes and boots.

I'm not a huge fan of shoe shopping... I only go if I need a pair... I prefer clothes shopping much more.

Munchkin03 08-20-2003 12:54 AM

I don't like spending much money for anything lately (other than things I can use for a long time), but when I do buy shoes, I don't skimp, 'cause I know I'll be wearing them for a while.

My favorites:
Camper Mary Janes, in black.
NAOT leather thongs. Like Birkenstocks, but funkier, and from Israel.
Donald J. Pliner rain boots.
Doc Martens. I got them for $25 new, and wear them at least once a week. :)

SigmaChiCard 08-20-2003 01:49 AM

I really like Clarks. I've got 6 pair. My favorite pair is the Alberni, which they've quit making altogether, but I got 2 pair before that. I'd love to get the pair below though just because they're ostrich http://www.esemspor.com.tr/clarks/koleksiyon/1141_1.jpg

I also like Birks a lot, but who doesn't? I've got 4 of those. 3 sandals and clogs.

The shoes I want more than anything though are Finn Comforts. There is a pair of sandal/shoes from them I tried on and they're heaven. My girlfriend & her mother mentioned the possibility f getting them for me for my B-day, but one can only hope. They are truly heaven.....if you have the means I highly recommend picking a pair up.

our Chapter President has those of shoes. as for me, I'm not into the fancy shoes. i get mine from payless.

Sverige 08-20-2003 01:11 PM

I have a problem with shoes. I have a bad habit of buying shoes and only wearing the pair 4 or 5 times. I'll buy the same style but in 2 or 3 different colors. And this is stuff like Dr. Martins/Sketchers! Then I'll make my way over to the tennis shoe section. I can never seem to find exactly what I want and end up getting two pairs of those likewise, I can't decide between running shoes or basketball shoes. I like flip flops, too. Right now I have 4 pairs of them that I reguarly wear. All 4 are either Deep Blue or Black.


Does anyone else have that one shoe style that you like so much that you keep getting that same style each time your old pair wears out? There was a time that I got a new style each time I got shoes, but ever since this one style of Dr. Martins came out I've always had to have that style in stock...and in Black....on top of whatever else I have.

PiKA2001 08-20-2003 01:18 PM

1 pair of campers
1 pair addidas running shoes
2 pairs of birks (sandals, clogs)

Realize my foot hasnt grown since I was 17 and I am now 22. I would say I have bought 1-3 pairs of shoes a year since then

Sverige 08-20-2003 01:34 PM

Wow! With all the guys speaking up I don't feel as gay having a shit load of shoes. 3 pairs of Docs? Are they all the same style?

MattUMASSD 08-20-2003 01:41 PM

nope I have the traditional pair
http://www.comfortableshoes.com/imag.../DMAztec41.jpg
