Just got feet, don't got SHOES

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 - $20
1 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

pics?!?

forthcoming!

love!

I just recently noticed my appalling shoe conservatism. Inspiring!

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

I love the Bass outlet.

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 sole
no toe cleavage/somewhat high cut (but not like a loafer)
ok for standing on for 6 hours
embellishment ok within reason
no 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!

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

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.

those are v good IO!! where did you find them?

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.

They're from zappos.com and they're Rockports, which means the quality should be at least reasonably good!

I know the vamp might be a little too low for what you wanted, but they seemed good enough to at least show you. :)

ooh the red and yellow ones are on sale too!

I love the red ones obviously.

i just stumbled across this website www.swedishhasbeens.com

http://www.swedishhasbeens.com/images/373_red_webb-25c99389.jpg
such amazing shoes everywhere!

what do you all think of these vintage nikes

http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-80s-NIKE-MIAMI-COURT-WHITE-CANVAS-USA-MADE-100-AUTHENTIC-US13-BOX-NEW-/130934412423?pt=US_Men_s_Shoes&hash=item1e7c4c9487

extremely overpriced?

sunny there are some really appealing boots on that site
i could use some new boots...

Yes, LL!! So nice. So crazy overpriced though. Much cheaper on eBay.

Those Nikes are actually new and from the 80s?? GET THEM

yeah lg you need those kicks imo

They are pretty cool. Me, I would have to stain-protect THE SHIT out of them before wearing, tho. Scotchguard or whatever ppl use.

those are some elegant nikes

Best $385 ever

Those are beautiful, but damn, that number hurts me a little

Most comfortable pair of boots i've ever owned. ZERO break in period and they are perfect for dress up and casual. even better looking broken in.

Hey guys

what is like a good place to buy well made but not too expensive (<$100, ideally <$70) stylish oxfords and boots?

Do people have like a secret place that is the best? Macy's? I don't know. Not Kohl's.

ideally IRL and not online

Nordstrom's Rack?

DSW has a lot of good brands

Maybe! Is DSW a store or just online? They also have to be wide and like okay yes this is getting ridic I am just going to give up on shoes

no more shoes

DSW have big stores! usu in strip malls

according to the google machine, the Philly DSW is located thus:
DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse
2385 W Cheltenham Ave #520, Philadelphia, PA

i have found my boots but now something has to make them magically less expensive
