Just got feet, don't got SHOES

I just found these in the $60 range. She'll prob think they're too much like saddle shoes tho.

Those are cute! Maybe not comfortable enough for everyday wear (if that's what she's looking for) but if you're buying one pair of shoes to wear every day, going for a $$ shoe is probably your best bet. More wear per $1.

On the other end of the spectrum, look what I GOT

Hard to get a picture of these guys so I figured the bike seat was my best bet.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

they need some breaking in BUT i can vouch for the quality of these boots if anyone would like to purchase some period footwear (not menses period, time period). also pretty comfortable and plenty roomy. a little big for my ankle actually, but i figure that time will wear them in properly and they'll be less stiff/fit better. i seriously cannot wait to wear them.

is the leather quite soft? they look really well-made

Not super soft, but soft enough. I think time will be kind to these boots. It's just weird because they are so white and NEW.

LL! They're fantastic!

I just got some sweeeet fluevog boots I paid too much for in the mail. And they put another pair in the box, which was OMG FUN SURPRISE, but someone else's name on the receipt. SO I called them and I have to send them back. They were my size, too! Too good to be true.

Where did you order the white boots from?

I got them from https://www.oaktreefarms.com/ -- there are a bunch of different period heels (huhuhuh period heels) they offer with the same boot top

like these are AMAZING but they are > $50 more than the ones i got (and i have lots of black boots already)

BUT if you do not have black boots and you need some, well how about these

or these if you're feeling down and brown

i clearly have ridiculous taste in footwear
sorry

Damn! I love them.
I have some granny boots with that curvy heel – buckles instead of laces. I mostly wear them around the house playing dress up.

no way dude, I love those first two black pairs (brown shoes don't do it for me)

guh if I wasn't being so good about not spending money I would put those babies on my feetses

i got the ones with the western heel for maximum wearability -- the curvy heel is appealing to me, but i can't see myself having the wardrobe to wear it all the time
and if i am going to spend on these shoes they have to go with pants, be ok for work, etc.

i think i can wear these white boots to work under the right (modest) circumstances, right? i don't know why not.

I love the great quantity of tiny eyelets.
White boots totally work for the workplace, says I, as long as they wouldn't make you feel self-conscious.

yeah I think interesting shoes make workwear a little less dull

totally. i dress pretty conservatively for work, but not so conservatively that i can't find a way to work these boots into the mix
if not, i have like a zillion other pairs

too many shoes tbrr

Crabbits, do u have a photo of your Fluevogs?

I still have a pair of their Mary Janes that I wear a lot, I love their shoes/boots so much

When I was student teaching, my cooperating teacher once asked, 'how many pairs of black boots DO you own?'
good eye on her
the answer is one greater today
Nothing makes me feel more on my game than secretly wearing some badass and slightly eccentric shoes w/the more boring professional clothes.

amen and aleluia

i have 5 pairs of black boots at last count

I wore my new Justin engineer boots to work today with my workclothes and tbh I felt like kind of a badass

These are the boots I got today

this photo was hard to take
I like that they don't give me too baggy of ankles
They fit my calves perfectly
The little harness at the ankle is removable
I could wear them to work under pants but the Mormon in me suggests they are too fetishy/R. Crumb girl to wear with a skirt (and the age group I work with)

I mean Condi wore knee high boots to work but she also got a ton of shit for it

I like having clothes that are just for fun too
the dr. jekyll/mr. hyde wardrobe

i love those granny boots!!!

i tried these on recently, totally loved them, and they are a comfort brand but i guess i just can't wear anything beyond a 2" heel?? like, they were comfy everywhere, nice and roomy but within seconds the ball of my foot had shooting pains :( :( i would have just gotten them anyway but they're way too pricey for a "might not actually ever wear these"-kind of shoe

i really like those boots, abbott - would wear except knee high boots make me self conscious about my knees

i also don't like the tan tread-sole on those kork-ease mary janes - i feel like it limits their wearability as a more formal-but-fun shoe

They should really have some measure of heel slope as part of shoe size, which imo is more useful that heel height.

i wish there was a better selection of 2" heels out there - i feel like it's all flats-1" or 3"-5"

I have three pairs of heels by Miz Mooz that are a nice height (in your range), and comfy, and made well. And just good luck on sales w/them (one pair I found at a thrift store).

I adore Miz Mooz for exactly that heel height reason.

A+ boots, Abs.

I got these excellent shoes recently, as well as these black boots:

Oh I like those boots very much.

fab!

kate those boots are JUST RIGHT. A++

Those are stunners!

Unfortunately (for boot wearing) summer has persisted in Seattle, but I do strut around the house in them an awful lot.

can i just

I have a pair of bass penny loafers in the mail to me and am now searching for the perfect Oxford. Also I dearly want a black pair of lace-up vans.

abbs you were right about miz mooz - i did some intense online window shopping with my friend on friday night, and i found a TON of shoes from them that i love. even my perfect boots! but they only seem to be available online at one store (in new york) and i'll have to risk $20 shipping to try them.

and also these in black

might as well get these in tobacco while i'm at it

wait not those tobacco ones, these tobacco ones
http://www.infinityshoes.com/Miz-Mooz-Willie-3241.html

Oh I really like the ones you posted first by mistake with the buttons. So cute!

I have good luck finding that brand at Nordstrom Rack but it's a game of chance going there, as you know.
Love those Silas boots! yowsers

VP, I hope you love your pennyloafers!!! Mine are only about a year old but I've cracked the soles at the hinge and worn through all the leather under the ball of the foot--they need complete resoling already, and they give me horrible pains in my arches to wear. ;__; Will not get them again. So sad. Your feet are nothing like mine so they'll probably be perfect for you.

I do like the silas ones (with buttons), but the other tobacco ones have a lower heel, making them preferable

Riddle me this: why are Clarks shoes SO CUTE in the UK but DOWDY in the US? In England they had adorable heels and mary janes and t-straps and I am looking at the US site and it's a sea of beige and brown.

clarks originals?
