Just got feet, don't got SHOES

(also i SWORE i wasn't going to buy anything online this week, oh well. i do need sensible work boots and i'm not going to find a cheaper pair. also that site has like 6 pages of campers for $50 fyi)

Ahaha! Wear them in good health, lovely!

okay so rrobyn put something into my head that I can't get rid of

http://i38.tinypic.com/11awyfm.jpg

Opinions? I wanted to go for pink but it's a light pink and that + salt + slush sounds like a bad combination, these I would like to think would at least wear it better... they are customizable from Timberland's website for $180 (eep) but look warm and walkable. Anyone own Timberland boots of any design, who can comment on warmth of shoe?? I go to North Bay sometimes in the winter, where it's not unheard of to see 5-6 feet of snow!!

I'm kind of sick of tall black "dressy" boots after wearing similar for the past few years..

oh man, my friends are hating those and calling them santa's shoes :( I just want something warm, comfortable, low heeled and available in size 11 that isn't your standard black boots for once! sigh

I also hate brown.. so my options are pretty much grey or red

I would go to an Army-Navy supply store and buy paratrooper jump boots before I'd pay $180 for those. Admittedly the color is cheering, but overall it wouldn't be a good trade-off for me.

Another thing: I don't know how warm they'd be, the website specifies that they're waterproof but says NOTHING about any kind of insulation...? Also I have a beef with the catalog copy, it says "perfect for jeans". Jeans?? What kind of jeans can you pull ABOVE YOUR KNEES to lace up a 14" boot shaft? Puhleeze. Maybe my GAP overalls from college.

Fair enough.. I've never worn Timberlands but I see them up here on people all the time and they generally look warm! It's funny that you suggest paratrooper boots because I was a total army boots girl for years and years before buying a few pairs of classic black boots. Hah. I figured the only way I could go was crazy red and rugged soled! I will keep looking..

Hmmm! Well, there are a couple of ex-Army boots types around here, so you're in good company (quincie?).

Did you look at Sorel? We used to have their kids' boots when I was little, and just keep handing them down in the family...I'd trust 'em, and I kind of like these!

DUDE HOW CUTE ARE THESE IN HERRINGBONE??@??

i have these for when the weather turns really serious. they come off at the office, of course. if it's just mildly gross outside, i wear these (from sporto; insulated, which is v. important):

sort of an impulse buy a couple weeks ago
dark burgundy patent

i'm not sure what to think about shoes like this

http://www.payless.com/Images/600x600/064100_7_600x600.jpg

i don't think i "get" peep toe boots

those have more problems than just the peep toe. but yeah, it's kind of weird.

i just tried on the corso como boots i mentioned upthread, and unfortunately they're really slouchy through the ankle. nothing against slouchy boots, but that's so not what i want!

ha yeah i perhaps did not pick the best example of shoe but the peep toe just really stuck out at me on that one for some reason.

I have the worst taste in the world, but I'm looking for some boot type shoes. What do you guys think of these?

kind of digging this in wine, though they're not really what i need right now... http://tinyurl.com/48ygbh

burt, those are dangerously close those things I think are called Wallabys (sp?)? Thus I would say you could do better, IMHO.

burt i vote Y on those, they're nice

xpost ha, i like wallabees

It's a desert boot style ... they've been a thing in NYC for a while, I guess.

For a while, yeah....

i have a strange compulsion to buy these: http://tinyurl.com/3f3dg7

i know it is wrong.

i am v tempted to get these (frye)

so ugly they are cool IMHO

i like those! i almost bought a pair last weekend that were sort of like that, but they have a sort of golf shoe fringe across the top instead of lacing up. if that makes any sense.

TZA: I dunno, I think those are a tiny bit precious but cute! Probably not a bad idea at all. Unless the quality is terrible, I didn't look that closely.

daria, I don't think they're ugly at all. But then I like Clark's, too.

Been wanting to get some Repetto Zizi's for a while

^^woah; despite my better judgement, I like!

I got these recently; w/yellow laces

Photos don't really do the Repetto's justice, but...

i love repetto shoes.

Lauren, who made the very delicate brogue-styled black lace-ups you had on the other day??

you'll never believe it... steve madden. which explains why the "leather" already has started to flake on the toes.

Oh bah. I keep telling myself: NO MORE STEVE MADDEN. And then I hear the siren song of some glossy or metallic flat...

yeah i saw some boots on endless i thought were cute and then noticed "STEVE MADDEN" and did not click.

these are the bomb! unfortunately men's shoes, they are way too big for me

i'm giving myself a stomachache, i want those shoes so much.

omgawesome.

i need some shoes that aren't "sporty"

common projects (expensive) and swear (cheaper) make nice mens shoes:

where can I get a pair of shoes that look like these:

pierre hardy shoes are fully awesome. i want to tie satin boxes to all my shoes now.
gun shoes, as much as i dislike guns, are freakin great - you could lay on a chaise-lounge and pretend to shoot people! i want to do this! adult cops and robbers

what do you ladies think of these Alaia heels:
http://www.shoewawa.com/azzedine%20alaia%20heels%20ankle.jpg

i think they're alright, but i think they were one of the most photographed shoes this past paris season. i got at least 4 different women in them (editors of i-D, vogue nippon, tank magazine, and tinsley mortimer..)

also, theyre $1000

those are beautiful.

i actually like them. not the usual style i go for, though (ha - "go for." more like "admire from afar").

Agree and agree: beautiful AND, if you can get past the heel height, very wearable, being black and unembellished except by the pos/neg contrast of the straps.

Also they look like they would cradle your instep and ankles in glove-soft leather. Win!

very nice
alaia can do no wrong it seems

AHAHA so the girls are allowing themselves to be peeped now?

No, Alaia does no wrong. Am mad for the molded YSL shoe boot thing and do not have £700 for anything but a new computer.

So imagine my shock and awe when visiting the charity shop on the way back from my appt. and VALENTINO COUTURE CROC-SKIN SHOE-BOOTS WITH 5' STILETTO in BLACK. FOUR BRITISH POUNDS.

These are totally taxi shoes and I'm looking fwd to basic stiletto training seeing as I've been in ballet flats all summer.

wow great score!
