is that it?

Oh WOW but then, I love old lady shoes. If the perforations on the front were slightly less flower petal-y, I'd run out and buy those myself.

Well, and if I had any money....

whoops, meant to do the right thing and flickr them but was being lazy! thx dyao :)
yes, i do love them! i have a soft spot for anything that reminds me of my childhood buster browns or whatevs, oh sigh, at least the heel makes me feel less twee, haha...

yeah so now all i need are ankle boots, a new pair of kicks and okay another pair of boots (non-winter)
SHOES
<3

recently purchased a pair of dove-grey suede bucks and they are amaaaaazing

cosign! i have a pair of dove-grey suede bucks (opening ceremony), they rule

two-tone wing tips?

ty and now on to ebay :D

no prob

Just got my income tax rebate, no longer broke, finally able to get a pair of shoes that are not my runners, my dress shoes or my dying (let's be honest, dead) pair of chuck taylors.

Of course, I do not know shoes. Time to read this thread start to finish.

laurel look! fake ghillies made by designer isabel toledo for PAYLESS. not sure the point of these, but i can't help but like them a little bit. i am a sucker for fake dancing shoes. i regularly wear a pair of low heeled tan character shoes when i need a neutral heel for work.

lolololol I saw those yesterday and thought maybe we could use them for parades or something when you have to walk a lot! Maybe. I'll mention it and see if anyone bites. Hee.

please tell me people aren't wearing these. they are HIDEOUS.

i need new boots!

please help!

requirements:
- black
- mid-calf to higher-mid-calf (i have short legs and fat knees so knee length doesn't work all that well on me)
- preferably leather
- a little bit of a heel, maybe 1.5-2.5" max
- must be comfortable

also

- under 200 bucks

kind of digging these

heel is a little low but they're clarks so they're probably comfy??

cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute

on a slightly related note, i would also love these to wear with some cute high-heeled t-bar shoes i have:

Personally sometime-ilxor LP has got me hooked on some Cuban-heeled Beatle boots:

I do like the idea of a spat revival, though, j. Very much so.

pointy toes don't work so well for me. i wish i could just buy another pair of the 3cco biker boots i had a couple of years, but they make an updated version - of which i have a pair now - that aren't nearly as nice.

i LOVE spats. and legwarmers. they are basically a girl's bestfriend if she has fat ankles she doesn't want to show off (e.g. me).

those spats are on etsy, and they're REVERSIBLE!! http://www.etsy.com/listing/58280118/little-red-riding-spats-reversible

think i might get a pair.

i like these too

http://l3.zassets.com/images/z/1/2/4/1246308-p-DETAILED.jpg

i am a sucker for a wedge heel

My first impulse re the etsy spats, is that I would prefer them to have a strip of elastic under the shoe, right under your arch, because if they shifted just a little bit, that COOOOOOOLD winter breeze is going to right up your ankle. Better keep 'em in place from the start!

If you want biker boots, get the original Fryes, is my recommendation.

since she's an etsy seller, you could probably ask her to add some kind of stirrup? i want them in a deep olive green velvet/corduroy.

Those are spectator shoes, right?

Yes, but Kate's "two tone wing tips" wasn't wrong either. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectator_shoes

ok i am still waiting for the clarks to arrive, but now i am ALSO thinking i need cowboy boots! what is the consensus on these?

i've got my eye on these durango boots, since they are super cheap but apparently ridiculously comfy, according to 99% of reviews:

I'm a big fan of Justin ropers, got a pair in dark red and a pair in grey. They're great w/ pants and skirts/ dresses. Yours look nice too J. I'm loyal to Justin tho. I have 2 pr of their lacers as well.

Justine I tried on those Clarks recently and they're lovely. I had a certificate for a free pair of Clark's shoes and ended up going with different ones but those are ace.

Those triple-button Clarks boots are the cutest things ever, for real. I have so many nice boots but I'm not yet convinced it ever gets close to being cool enough here in Tucson to wear such things here. Maybe a few weeks in January, we'll see.

the clarks are a no-go :(

the front part sticks out too much, i wanted something a little sleeker that would look cool with dresses, but these just didn't work.

I'm waiting for these shearling boat shoes to go on sale...

Want to find IN A STORE today. Think I'll get lucky?

i was wondering when penny loafers were going to come back!
i used to wear the hell out of them when i was a kid, and i haven't seen them even though boat shoes are obvs here to stay

maybe old fashioned shoe store that carries brands for stubborn old people who buy a new pair of penny loafers when the old one dies? (ie my dad)

i looooved my black penny loafers so much in 8th grade

the word cordovan is so nice

laurel maybe a dept store like macy's?

So far via the internet, I can't find anywhere that carries Bass shoes in the city! Only outlets outside in the subrubs. Trying to call Macy's now but I saw someone else say oline that Macy's didn't have them either....

I don't know if they're BACK, exactly, I just decided I want some. :)

Also they never went out of style in some fringe subculture styles.

Really? Like the Downtown Preppy Crew o que?
My dad has had his penny loafers resoled at least 3x. He'll be glad to brag about it if given the opportunity.

'60s stuff, Anglophiles.
