The Swedish lady from Tretorn told me on the phone that I can order them direct, and what size I should try. I have never ordered shoes through the post before.

I had these super-soft leather ones. Replaced them with random ones ordered online and they were kind of sleeping-bag material :(

yeah I am pretty into shoes with soles/heels that are a different shade from the rest of the shoe. Not those lunar crepe things, just like tan with brown or tan with black.

i'm wearing clicky heels today, i like them. the shoes are black but the laces and stitching are midnight blue which is also a neat contrast

i'm very (perhaps overly) wary of two tone shoe/heel combos, playful or classic-with-a-twist or whatever doesnt seem to work for me at all

Had to check this a few times before I realised, haha, poor guy. Pretty nice shoes.

Just got a pair of these, mostly because of the big reduction (£50 from £125 iirc):

The Vintage Shoe Company shoes I bought just feel incredibly well-constructed -- good leather, tight stitching, every sold but still comfortable. And apparently made in the USA too so I guess I should feel proud of that or something.

Not the most exciting shoe purchase but yesterday was the first time I'd ever purchased the exact same shoe to replace a worn out pair. RIP two year old Sambas:

Also, since they were on sale and I only ever wear black shoes I bought a pair of these ridiculous Sauconys at the same time to liven things up a bit:

rocking these 2day - i love that they are really like highlighter bright; they're p good shoes, i had already had a pair in yellow that i've destroyed mostly by playing tennis a lot in them so i really cant wear them casually anymore
― johnny crunch, Friday, 23 August 2013 15:20 (twelve years ago)
so I went to the Bass outlet with like, no money, thinking well I'll just look and clock what they have for when I'm cashed up, and ended up leaving with
1 pair leopard print espadrille-style flats - $201 pair purple suede loafer flats - $20
booya!
okay I know between these and my purple suede boots and bedazzled sandals I'm veering int 70's Elvis/Liberace level crazy shoe closet (if only the gold leather had been in my size)...but they're p freaking rad and colorful shoes make me happy

I get more conservative from the top down: fun shirts, bright solid-colour trousers, brown shoes.

shoe ppl: please help me find the following to replace my everyday black flats that i wear basically all the time to work
black flat, very minor heel ok (like 1 in)pointy toe preferred (do not like very rounded toes, pointies are just as comfortable and i feel are more flattering, on me at least)soft flexible soleno toe cleavage/somewhat high cut (but not like a loafer)ok for standing on for 6 hoursembellishment ok within reasonno buckles/clasps -- must be slip on
i have no idea how to search for all of these things at once. i'm shopping impaired and very impatient. i've been needing to replace the beat up old ones i have for over a year!
― no fomo (La Lechera), Friday, 13 September 2013 14:41 (twelve years ago)
you're probably going to have to look at flats and/or dress flats and then just find what you want by browsing...
but modcloth has a pretty cute array of flats, and a lot of diff pointy toe styles, you might start there and see if there's anything you like

redwings are pretty unfuckwithable, although I think they would look kind of dorky on me, as bulkier shoes usually do
― #fomo that's the motto (Hurting 2), Friday, 13 September 2013 16:54 (twelve years ago)
LL that's my dream shoe and I have yet to find it :( They're always too 'low cut' and/or too wide so my foot just slips out.
― kinder, Friday, 13 September 2013 17:19 (twelve years ago)
those are v good IO!! where did you find them?
― no fomo (La Lechera), Friday, 13 September 2013 18:56 (twelve years ago)
modcloth shoes are cute, but many of them are not v high qual in my experience. i've bought a few pairs and they're basically only for special occasions. but on those special occasions i get to wear little gold ballet shoes that make me feel like a goddess/fairy and heeled booties with bows that give off a sweetly badass air (until the next bow needs to be glued back on)
my favorite ones ever were from bakers.
― no fomo (La Lechera), Friday, 13 September 2013 19:02 (twelve years ago)
They're from zappos.com and they're Rockports, which means the quality should be at least reasonably good!
― Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Friday, 13 September 2013 19:08 (twelve years ago)
I know the vamp might be a little too low for what you wanted, but they seemed good enough to at least show you. :)
