They're well-proportioned, they're simple and not showy, the heel is perfect...so great!

No comment.

But then again I don't know what's happening to me because I really want these:

Should I buy them if I don't know whether my unemployment will be cut off at the end of December even though I have another 2 months allowed?

Shit.

i didn't buy the boots i wanted
(yet)

Welp, I just confirmed that my unemployment will be cut off as of end Dec thanks to the lack of legislation to continue supporting it. No winter boots for me.

Let's hope for not too much snow this year, shall we?

Someone will hire me to do something, eventually, won't they? I'm talented and I have a lot of experience at things. And I really want those boots.

absolutely for sure 100%
but if you need boots in the meantime, the ones i got at target have been ok for a couple of years. not sure why or how, but they're just fine after 1.5 chicago winters. nothing special, but cheap boot technology has improved a lot since the last time i bought some.

"WILL WORK FOR BOOTS"

I ordered them. Fuck it. I haven't owned winter boots since...never in my adult life. I bought some hiking boots in college but never replaced them once they went, and I've just been pulling up my wool socks ever since.

Those are beautiful. I've had my eye on similar - hadn't seen those particular ones.

And you've been working your ass off and will be hired.

Well 2013 was the year of rounding out my shoe wardrobe with the functional things I don't usually own. Sensible flat oxfords (with spikes, naturally), then SNEAKERS (god love me), now rain boots (albeit with a little heel). Short of nuclear winter, I feel ready for whatever comes.

And these, just for fun.

i'm ready to drop some $$$$ on some nice boots, probably frye, but i'm feeling a bit wary of the leather soles: i'm tough on my shoes, and these would be an everyday boot, wondering how often i'd have to resole them and how expensive that typically is.

ooh those are really nice
I need some flat ankle boots and have done for the past two years. I have some cheap crappy quality ones as placeholders until I find my dream ones but I'm wearing them all the time and wondering if I should buy a backup pair for when they inevitably break!

yeah i have a great pair of dark brown ones from miz mooz that i've worn pretty much nonstop this fall/winter, and they're super comfy, rugged but not bulky. i've been looking for a black pair to alternate them with. i really like that shaft height a lot, it works perfectly on my short legs.

Re leather soles: Before you wear them, take them to the shoe place and have them apply a grooved rubber layer. Less slippery, wears better, can be easily taken off and replaced.

excellent idea!!

I wore my Frye's with leather soles pretty lightly for 2 seasons and then really hard for another season. Now they need resoled.

GOT NEW SANDALS!!

kinda hate them though

here they are lookin fly when they're not on feet:

the first ones are kinda nifty but the second ones feel very basic and pedestrian

the first ones are cool!

i should hope sandals would be pedestrian

ya the first ones also have a zipper in the back; I am pretty sure those are the ones I am keeping.

OK guys I am ISO a certain kind of Clarks that I don't think they make anymore (I went through the entire clarks site) or else I want to find a similar shoe.

They were brown soft-leather casual shoes, I guess you'd call them oxfords. They had a rounded toe and a visible rounded seam on top following the contours of the toe piece, if that makes sense. People used to say they were "old man shoes" or "sensible shoes." Anyway I really liked them and I can't find a similar shoe. This would have been around 2000 or so.

actually the style was vaguely like this

but less clunky/boxy looking

these?

Not quite. But that's the right idea. I don't think it had the Clark's logo on it.

i just got a pair of brand-new Timberlands and i feel like a fuckin baller

frick-a-frick-a babygirl

i like modcloth but man the cutesy shoe names really wear you down when you're just browsing for stuff

its so weird seeing it not spelled Timbaland

I'm all about resoling shoes lately. The brown shoes I bought back in July got pretty worn because I wore them like every other day for eight months in the city, but a new sole and a little polish and they look like a new pair for less than half what I paid for the shoes.

do you have leather soles replaced, or do you have rubber applied? or both?

On these shoes I actually forgot to ask and they just put leather soles on them. I would have preferred a little thin rubber on the bottom of thhe leather, because they're a little slick now. I like it when they do the thin rubber over just a section of the leather so you get the traction without making the sole look too bad.

I eBayed shoes recently that prob either need a resole or rubber layer. Guess I'll prob do rubber since I do so much walking? Won't be beautiful but...
