Just got feet, don't got SHOES

Shut up I hate you.

Looked at my closet today and made the mistake of getting on zappos to look for shoes under $50. Unfortunately 4 pairs of shoes under $50 still equal $200.

Let's see if this works.

Woo! Here are my other candidates for purchase:

um orbit those suede boots are to die for

I'm still freaking out about the leather frogfeet shoes

Having trouble deciding between those and these:

hmm. the detailing on those is interesting. but also a touch more 'western' maybe? the first ones seem a little more classic.

I know but the first ones aren't made of suede, they're fabric. And wider/slouchier. :( I liked them too but almost the same price for fake suede is nagl.

oh well then #2 definitely.

????

Ugggghhh I took the books off my list, almost certainly won't need them by the time they arrive what with it either being summer or rainy, neither of which says "suede!"

Erm, BOOTS.

ooh those sandals are cuuuute orbit

I'm trying to buy summer shoes that aren't expensive but don't look cheap. It's difficult. If I were willing to spend $150 a pair it would be so easy.

an eternal problem! they all look cheap because they're just straps on soles -- this is what i don't like about summer shoes! i guess i don't like minimalist shoes.

i think that last pair are expensive-looking

Sigh. Now I'm like, what if I just bought the Crocs sandals (the cheapest) for cheaping around in, and spent the same amt I was going to spend anyway on one pair of spectator oxfords? This decision-making is ridiculous.

re boots, I thought you were anti-beige? (I'm not).

Because drool.

that's why i slob around in various old sneakers all summer
i have one or two pairs of fancy summer shoes that i wear if i am getting dressed up and for all other occasions, slob city

i am not even allowed to look at shoes for a long long time, which is unfortch b/c drooooool

summer shoe-shopping sucks. I bought two pairs of these cheap-ass flimsy things last year and they lasted through the summer. I've glued buttons onto them now.

but they're not really real shoes and I need some!

I'm not really a sandals person either, so what happens is every year I think, maybe THIS will be the year that I learn to love sandals! So I buy some but the straps cut my feet or give me blisters, and when it rains my wet feet slide around the slippery footbeds, and you have to keep up your pedicure, and your feet are always filthy. I should embrace the perforated oxfords 4lyfe.

Consider the Worishofer. Very comfy, can walk for mile in 'em, pretty cheap.

downside: you absolutely cannot wear them in Europe, for there they are old lady and waitress shoes. You will be mocked by Germans.

... was gonna say tbh

Oh. Shit.

http://a2.zassets.com/images/z/2/2/3/6/4/8/2236485-p-MULTIVIEW.jpg

yeah i was gonna say those look like hella old lady shoes except the 711 maybe!!

oxfords are always good
sometimes i feel that in summer the foot needs to breathe a little though, like with a light sneaker (keds or w/e)

I need shoes that go with dresses, though.

I love old lady shoes and I love the Worishofers but they were already adopted by every Brooklyn girl of any means like...4 years ago? Also $75-100 isn't "pretty cheap" to me, alas.

Maybe I'll crumble and try them this year anyway.

That last pair looks pretty sweet imo.

I wear sneakers with dresses :-/
That's what I meant about slobbin'.

Those white ones are delicate and cute.

An alternate view of the cap-toe ones: http://is4.revolveclothing.com/images/p/n/d/MATS-WZ50_V1.jpg

Leaning toward these I think!

I kinda like aerosoles - they have mostly ugly stuff but then the occassional decent thing, and they are super comfy. I got red and white striped espadrilles for $50 and these cute white with black animal print no-lace sneaks fur $40

i got these a few days ago when in nyc :)

omg cuet rrobyn!! I had a pair of camper mary janes and they were my favorite shoes in the worrrrrld

Campers are excellent. I'm wearing a pair right now.

I like the normal sized heel width on the Worishofers. I haaaaate the skinny heels all wedges seem to have these days.

I have those Kim campers!

i just bought another pair of these from Osborn Design. i love em. they kinda go with everything!

oh mine dont have as much orange. more blue/purple/red. its from vintage fabric so each one is different... maybe i should get a third pair...

I had my heart set on a pair of canary yellow Cole Haan wedges, but it looks like they're discontinuing them.
Specifically I wanted them to go with the navy-blue fitted dress I bought for my brothers' wedding.

this is the dream shoe

As a girl who has only ever really worn black, I'm trying to be more color-friendly but I still don't really know what I'm doing.
Thoughts on alternative colors?

they have them in 2 other colors - pale blue
http://g.nordstromimage.com/imagegallery/store/product/Large/19/_7844859.jpg

and fuschia
http://a3.zassets.com/images/z/2/2/6/2/2/7/2262273-p-MULTIVIEW.jpg

Also since I may not have the money to purchase these for a while and there's a chance they'll discontinue the whole lot, if you know of any other similar styles that might suit, I'm up for suggestions. I don't want a thin/spike heel because we'll be outside on grass, i'd rather something in a wedge with no more than a 2inch heel because I am a baby and I don't wear heels a ton.

that turquoise color would look good with navy, ime, more than the fuschia

there are limited sizes of those yellow ones available on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Cole-Haan-OT-40-Sunlight/dp/B0090A38VY/ref=sr_1_2?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1370373585&sr=1-2&keywords=cole+haan
