Just got feet, don't got SHOES

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...

I think I'm really sold on eBay for shoes btw

you can get very thin rubber. But if the sole and/or heel is uneven, it will probably need to be redone anyway.

eBay for shoes might be tough for me because I have super-wide feet and I always have to try on a bunch of pairs to find one that works.

I have wide feet to but have gotten shoes stretched at the cobbler

I dunno maybe I just lucked out. Such a savings though that I'll try it again

huh, never occurred to me to get shoes stretched -- do they still look good?

I didn't notice any difference really, they just fit better.

I mean I can get shoes for $70 on eBay that would be $400-$500 otherwise, and with proper care they can be made to last.

I can't remember the last time I bought dress shoes new.

used shoes, shirts from century 21, and socks from uniqlo. that's the way. pants are the hard part.

going to europe in july, finally caved and bought some worishofers:

today was my first day wearing them and the first person to compliment me on them was... a middle aged, grandma-looking woman

I love them and I particularly love the colour! Although I am middle-aged. But not grandma-looking.

She definitely does not look like a Grandma. And those shoes are adorable!

omg i love them

i don't meant to pile-on the grandma-ness but I got INSTANT flashbacks of my beloved nan, she had a pair that looked just like that but in navy blue and it makes me really happy to look at that photo

i would totally wear those!

Nails thread not on ILS & no search fnctn in Zing, so.. Are fake toenails a thing? Hear me out :( I'm a lifelong ingrown big toenail sufferer so this winter I cut insanely deep Vs into them to try to fix. It's working, but not fast enough and toenail baring season is upon us. Was thinking maybe I could paste fakes on top of my big toes then paint and hide the bad stuff? I hate bare foot season :( xp

xps i def feel a bit more confident rockin these shoes with two arm tatts and big leg tatt! makes me feel less grandma-y. i would've gotten the white actually, but they didn't have my size (although the do now, so i'll see how these wear over the next month and maybe get white eventually).

they're really comfy of the sole of my foot - just enough height that i walk a bit more elegantly, flat enough that i don't get ball pain (lol). but there was some definite rubbing/blistering in a couple spots round my toes, although i think that'll go away. i wore than for about 4 mi of walking today, right off the bat, so i think they fared pretty well.

omg my dog just ate them

i put them on the other side of the dog gate and she managed to snag one with her paw and pull it through while i was in the shower, something she's never done before :( :( :(

i guess cork tastes real good

Awwww! Max ate my glasses once. Tough luck :(

;_;

i finally FINALLY found my perfect boots:

i am so in love with these, but they were on sale in only the black and now of course i also NEED the brown :/

Costco had FloJo and Havaianas flip flops on Friday, so I bought a tan faux-leather pair of flojos, and a pair of purple havaianas - ready for summer!

I also bought a pair of those roman sandals that everyone was wearing last summer. but now that I have them I'm not sure how to wear them. I don't wear short skirts or skinny jeans really. but they're super comfy!

those boots are gorgeous

who makes them?

walk-over

remember when i was looking for comfortable affordable pointy black flats? i bought some at modcloth (and some red ones too) and i like them a lot. cute, comf, $29.99, professional enough. just in case anyone is looking for such a thing, they come in a few other colors too

All the disadvantages of a moccasin crossed with the aesthetic nightmare of a grandma's nursing shoe wedge sole.

LL I sincerely hope you bought those elf booties btw.

i didn't

maybe if they're still around in a few weeks

Hi, I just dropped in to give these shoes the gasface:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FS41YLM/ref=gbsl_img_l-1_7582_223a7edd?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_s=left-new-1&pf_rd_r=0N0YS7BZV461A28TKK36&pf_rd_i=20&pf_rd_p=1958457582

I've always thought those would be hard/dangerous to moonwalk in

i didn't ever buy those boots but i did just score a white pair of lacers that i have wanted to find in my size/at a decent price/in good condition for over a decade and honestly i feel like i am emitting a radioactive light because i'm so excited about them

I bet they're rad!

I've been trying to find them for so long that I've convinced myself that they're THE shoes I want. Regardless I'm going to wear them til they fall apart bc that's what I do with boots. Hooray!

They're finally here and more ivory than white but I'll take it. Being fully stocked on boots that aren't threatening to spring a leak/disintegrate is like having a stocked fridge. Ahhhhhh.

Ahhhh! You might be able to brighten them up with white polish or glaze or whatever is right for the finish on the leather?

It's ok - I like em ok this color -- less LOOKATME and more useful.

Oh okay.

not to be demanding or anything but

just got words, don't got PICS?
