In this thread we look at cute shoes

[AlphaFrog]

I'm off to DSW after work today...hopefully I'll have a contribution or 2 (or 3) for this thread tomorrow.

I'm open to suggestions as well. I'm looking for a casual flat or low heel for work. I usually wear jeans or cords or khakis. We're allowed to wear tennis shoes, but I usually don't. Right now I'm wearing black ballet flats, and in general, wear black shoes more often than brown. I don't have a huge amount of brown/navy in my wardrobe.

I'm back from shopping, and ladies get ready to hate me:



80% off - They're a little more "couture" than I would normally wear, but I have some slacks that they'll go perfectly with. And for $10 I couldn't pass them up. I apologize for the photo quality - I took the pic with my camera phone.

Are those the kenzie ones or whatever the knockoff version is (I think Bobbi Blu or something)? I have the kenzie ones and I like them - one of my friends bought the other version and she likes them but she said they cut her heels.

They're the Bobbi Blu. They aren't as comfortable as I had hoped - the heel is fine for me, it's the outside top of my foot where it's putting a little extra pressure. I think they'll be fine after a few wears, though. That little purple ribbon with the neon yellow bows is growing on me...I thought it was a little silly looking at first, since the rest of the shoe is all conservative patterns/fabrics, but I kinda dig it now. Gives it a tiny flair.

Apparently kenzie is now Bobbi Blu - that explains why I thought all their shoes were identical, duh. Mine didn't do that but I've had tons of other shoes do it and what works well is to wear them around the house with thicker socks than you normally wear for a few hours to loosen up the leather.

That's a good idea...it looks like my husband is getting his sock drawer raided this weekend. I generally wear knee highs or socks that are barely thicker than nylons, unless I'm really cold, which, being a Yankee in Charlotte, generally doesn't happen.
