My cheating heart.

We don't wear Chucks for comfort; we wear them for awesome.

True that. We establish our cool creds via footwear. No doubt.

But I'm old and my feet are ruined. I'll still wear my All Stars for fashion but I'm keen on my Keens for motion.

ugliest, lesbian looking things on the PLANET


but loooord have mercy they feel good

My most comfortable shoes have always been the cheapest ones I buy and as Martha Stewart would say "that's a good thing"

Congrats on your new shoes Boomer.

No, shewolf, the ugliest shoes on the planet are those men's little slipperish, tasselled sissy boy shoes.

I don't know Bjorn but hopefully I won't be in the new shoe market for a while. Maybe next time....... (don't tell Converse).

I like cheap shoes too - hence the addiction to Converse. They aren't exactly cheap but they look better beat up so they last a long time.

I could have bought 3.5 pair of Converse for what I paid for these things. That kills me just a little.

Moccasins for pure comfort...but they are not very practical in many cases....so Nike Air.

My Spongebob Squarepants slippers.

I love moccasins, but I can barely wear flat shoes. So it's mostly avidity from afar. Nike Air Max, a few other running shoes, and Danskos fit my high arched sensitive ball of foot feet.

Unfortunately, my feet have grown recently. What the hell? My feet aren't swollen, but are cramped in my perfectly good and expensive danskos. Thus I have one now in the freezer with ziploc waterfilled bag trying to stretch it a bit (got that online, who knows, I may kill the shoe).

I have a great pair of bjorn oxfords, yeh, um, tailored shoes, and comfortable in the store at which I spent so much money for them. Not just right for my feet, a little too much give in the cushion part. But.. I wear them once in a while. Just not for a bunch of hours' walk.

Gotta do something, since my last air maxes are getting elderly.

I bought a pair of Dansko shoes almost 2 years ago and wear them through long days. They are still comfortable and rugged. The footbed liners have worn through, though. I have the below in brown.

I've had several pair of these over at least a decade.. usually have had new ones and old ones going stong..

Not that they wear out fast, but we wore them "in the field", I walked ten miles a day in them in Italy. Those became garden shoes...



Well, this photo shows oiled.. I've also just had the regular, whatever they call it. In black, in brown, in red, and even once in some sort of faux ponyskin.

I think that's mislabelled, shoe shown not oiled, to me.

Oh, and one more pair, a fluke... in that I can't afford 'em, but they've lasted now at least four or five years, good as ever, and I got them in a serious sale, my loafers by Taryn Rose - said in blurbs at the time to be an md designing with an eye to foot anatomy. Ok. Well, they fit mine.

At this point they look like scunge city. Love 'em.

Nice shoes, wanna f**k?

What, you don't like when people compliment your shoes?

My Fly London Fayre shoes are outrageously comfortable



for summer, my very girly Bjorn platform sandals with different coloured flower thingies are like buttah

I prefer to be able to walk. Wear Manolos for weeks yourself and get back to me.

(I think there are man Danskos... not sure. Maybe in Eur'p))

Back when I was breakdancing daly, I would wear only one shoe.

Addidas - Il Naste'

Super comfy, good grip, mad style. They are now out of production. It makes me sad.

Speaking of shoes ..


what if , the style you like IS out of 'production' ... ?
Is there a place you can find styles and brands that are still for sale even though they may not be on the front line at the store?

Lots of Bjorn and Danskos, huh?

I should have asked this question before I broke up with my Converse.

I like these Keens so far. They don't cramp that bone under/beside the big toe.

Which brings me to Slappy saying "nice shoes....." and osso saying "Wear Manolos for weeks yourself and get back to me" and Mr. B saying my new shoes look like what Frankenstein would wear to a track meet --

It is impossible to feel sexy when your feet frikken hurt. Those girls on TV with their sculpture shoes? They're actresses!

Nike does make some comfortable shoes. I did have some Prestos quite a few years back and loved them enough to look for them again only to find they no longer made them. Nike now makes Converse by the way. Why they can't put a little of that Nike comfort into a Converse while still keeping the All Star style I just don't know. I've worn Converse for most of my life and never had a problem with them until Nike started making them. Maybe it's just that I've gotten older or maybe Nike just doesn't do it right. I don't know.

I like to buy Nike because they're local but so is Keen so I don't feel so bad. Plus Keens are the environmentally friendly shoe so I don't feel so bad when I take a walk and throw my garbage on the ground. (Oh c'mon I'm just kidding.)

My tiny little grandmother would only wear moccasins. She had them hand made and they were beautiful things. I still have a pair of her moccasins.....

have you tried those plastic crocodile things yet..??

uggh...

they are called.. uuhhh... sheesh.. I think Crock.. ?
