I wish I could be of more help on the flats issue but I never wear them due to A) really, really high arches making many, many flats excruciating to wear (I guess I could get ortho inserts but UGH) B) really, really huge feet looking like clown's feet when in flats:(

yeah, i don't wear true flats either - shoes of pain for the high-arched, ttly. there are flats that aren't truely flat, but they're harder to find, it seems. regardless, you mostly just need Comfortable Shoes, archels! cute and comfortable.

i really love those black shoes you posted, nath. though, yeah, i'd wobble on that heel.

ohgod, i am going to walk downtown this afternoon and this thread just had to pop up... this is why i shouldn't have a credit card.

did not buy shoes, phew. mostly because all the ones i felt want for were $300+ camper boots. oh, but there was a flimsy pair of weird looking canvas slips that were cheap but not cheap enough for what they were. cute though...

― rrrobyn, the situation (rrrobyn), Monday, 25 September 2006 23:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I really like these but can't afford ($300, chie mihara), also I saw them @ anthropologie website and am rather opposed to buying anything they like

those are great! (i would like them better if the cream part was blue or green or red though.)

― rrrobyn, the situation (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 01:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Surprised at lack of sneakerheads here. Contemplating Alden shell cordovans, but I've already spent more than I should on clothing lately. Not that this is likely to stop me..

Ally's shoes seem like a fake Louboutin with the red.

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 11:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm anxious for cool weather so I can buy new tall boots.

Archel, I have these - extremely comfy and not too pricey (for 100% leather shoes). Also available in Fuchsia suede, electric blue suede, grey suede and black leather.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 14:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Darla, those are very, very awesome. I think the wide straps might be bad for me proportionally but I covet.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 14:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah boots, they are omnipresent in the shops. EVERYfuckingWHERE. I wouldn't be surprised that butchers will be selling'em: straight from the cow.

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 14:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I've yet to see any in the sales papers or out in the wild. soon though, soon.

― Sam: Screwed and Chopped (Molly Jones), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 14:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm such a tenderfoot. I have some black shoes that I really like, but they have labels sewn in right under my heel, and the heavy-duty thread hurts after a lot of walking.

― The Bearnaise-Stain Bears (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 14:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Tack a bit of moleskin overtop of the labels, silly. It's sticky on the back, just trim with scissors ET VIOLA.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 15:06 (seventeen years ago) link

ooh, that Dune shoes site has fantastic dark grey patent flats. I guess they don't ship to USA though! damn

― dar1a g (daria g), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 15:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I've yet to see any in the sales papers or out in the wild. soon though, soon.

this is because we are not in europe/uk :( so. many. good. shoes. and the turnover! and different kinds of stuff. i sometimes feel like i've seen the same general styles here for years, blah.

― rrrobyn, the situation (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes I like those Dune shoes Madchen, thanks!

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link

the bright blue ones are awesome!

Am I the only bloke who bumps this?

Hi!

I do read this thread, not quite with my tongue hanging out (though Daria's shoes are pretty special). I wish there were more suggestions from chaps, though, because the shoe-buying cravings are back with a vengeance but I want something different - walkable-in, stylish, grown-up but casual. Any suggestions?

― === temporary username === (Mark C), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 16:23 (seventeen years ago) link

One of my brain cells accidentally bumped into the other one and it occurred to me to snip the hurty labels out of my shoes, DOYYYYYY.

― The Bearnaise-Stain Bears (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 16:27 (seventeen years ago) link

"shoey gooey"

― sunny successor (katharine), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 16:38 (seventeen years ago) link

haha, smrt!

omg, that barefoottess site (daria's upthread) is pretty awesome. here are some other chie mihara shoes that are beautiful - the blue stuff at the toe is embroidered! pretty. want. but in dif colour b/c i r not a beige/tan person really. well, maybe.

― rrrobyn, the situation (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 16:42 (seventeen years ago) link

although the current rounded toe thing is worlds better than it's evil predecessor, the pointy make yr foot look freakishly long, it has a kinda contrived nostalgia that doesn't quite do it for me.

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 17:13 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, i understand that for sure. but i think it really depends on the outfit. what you pair with those shoes will increase/decrease nostalgia levels.

― rrrobyn, the situation (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 17:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I was just about to post the exact same joke I made almost 3 years ago.

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 17:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Wait -- if pointy is out, and rounded is out, that only leaves oblique and square! Which are BOTH more contrived than rounded (although maybe not more than stiletto-pointed). :D

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 17:20 (seventeen years ago) link

haha, oblique shoes - yeah, you could wear me, maybe, if you feel like it, and you might not, but that reminds me of this story about my friend, well, not my friend but a friend of friend, anyway, it's a pretty good story, i mean, it made me laugh at the time, where was i when he told it? i think it was in that cafe, you know the one, the one with the thing on the sign, it's orange, what is it a chicken? no, i think it's a duck, yeah, it's not in my neighbourhood, that's why i don't really remember, i don't go there often, i prefer the cafe down the block, have i taken you there yet? we should go.

Dear Arbin,

Please come and live on my dresser.

Gucci loafers!

I'd chime in, but I haven't bought any casual footwear since January. However, if anyone's in the West End over the next few, I'm trying to decide on a pair to blow my mismanaged budget on right now.

I see a lot of foppish dudes are into Swear and Buddhahood and all that other jazz Office shoppers go for - think that might help?

― Badrock Example (Barima), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 07:19 (seventeen years ago) link

As I mentioned 2 years ago (!), I have these:

http://www.foot-patrol.com/lib_store/00001859/main_view_bg.jpg

in purple and white leather. And I've NEVER worn them. Where could I easily offload them, preferably in exchange for money (eBay aside, which doesn't usually salivate over them, last I looked)?

Nah, man, they are cool but not really my thing after all.

― Badrock Example (Barima), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 15:13 (seventeen years ago) link

one month passes...

current impractical unnecessary shoes that I covet:
http://www.seychellesfootwear.com/productgraphics/HAPPEVE9SLRUST.jpg

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Friday, 10 November 2006 18:46 (seventeen years ago) link

they don't look that impractical.

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Friday, 10 November 2006 18:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I guess, just impractical because winter's approaching and I should be thinking about boots.

but you're totally right! a sensible heel=I should get them.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Friday, 10 November 2006 18:56 (seventeen years ago) link

MY NEW SHOES:

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 10 November 2006 19:06 (seventeen years ago) link

cute!

I am looking at boots right now, and want some kind of buckle detail like that.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Friday, 10 November 2006 19:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Better than cute, they are supa tough.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 10 November 2006 19:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I was about to make a Twin Peaks joke, but then I discovered I'd already made it on this thread. TWICE.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 10 November 2006 19:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I really want the boots Madchen posted upthread:

i bought these three months ago on a whim...

and they're already fucked. vegan schmegan.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Friday, 10 November 2006 19:59 (seventeen years ago) link

those are tough boots, laurels! brown suede boots above not so tough, but cute for sure. i like the buttons up the side a lot. i want tall lace-up boots even though they are a pain.

i am all into heels lately - i like the ones you posted, horseshoe! i've been coveting the ysl big weird heeled ones and knock-offs of (though not in gold). but yeah, winter in this city as a pedestrian/public-transit user = no heels. ah well.

xpost
nice!

― rrrobyn, the situation (rrrobyn), Friday, 10 November 2006 20:03 (seventeen years ago) link

cons are also vegan though

― rrrobyn, the situation (rrrobyn), Friday, 10 November 2006 20:04 (seventeen years ago) link

and a lot of other shoes like that. regardless, they tend not to last long with constant wear anyway.
