Just got feet, don't got SHOES

Wear them without stockings + after you've been standing in them for an hour or so the leather will heat up and form to your foot more and stick to your now slightly moist skin. Literally that's the only fix I have for this problem. I have it all the time.

Oh actually it might be a problem since that platform isn't going to flex where you need it to, across the toe break. Your foot bends, the shoe doesn't...voila.

Yeah and I gotta wear pantyhose. I ordered a couple things off Amazon that might help, fingers crossed

the long gel heel pads that wrap around the sides (for reg shoes) work much better than the short ones

in my experience anyway

i discovered a great solution to this! you can get these little silicone toe slippers that ballerinas use, for just a few bucks, and they hold your feet in place in the shoes.

i also got some lamb's wool padding but haven't tried it yet.

none of the 3 different gel pads i tried for either the heel or ball of foot worked btw

have you tried tongue pads? i have heard they can work for heel slippage

no - the silicone things were great, and totally invisible inside my shoes. i'm gonna try the lamb's wool next time i have to wear heels tho, bc the silicone pads did make the toe box a little too tight at the sides.

I have a wide forefoot/narrow heel problemo and have tried bunches of heel grips; these are by far the best I've ever used:

lol those toe slippers Amazon description says
- Help relieve the stress and pain caused by your body

awesome!

Darn bodies.

I've picked up my shoe game this year, no lady office pumps that are only good if you don't have to walk anywhere, I go for purely mobile style now.

And these, slightly less mobile but I couldn't resist.

And something very similar to these, which I've been kicking the shit out of since last fall (not Frye's, though--my pockets aren't that deep).

Basically what I'm saying is my wardrobe is full of peasant skirts and black leggings now, no pretensions to any kind of adult style except comfort. My shoes are all I have left.

orbit those first ones are DOPE AS FUCK OMG

They're like wearing little clouds on my feets too!

I got these recently which are actually pretty similar now that I think abt it!

They are!

Shoe fraternal twins!

Loving your mobile style, L!

I have no rad new shoes to share, though I did buy a cute pair of tiny-polkadot canvas keds for $20 to wear indoors at friends' houses or whatever in winter. might wear outdoors in summer though my walking ways just destroy this kind of shoe/slipper...

i bought some of these

they are v comfortable

i like those first sneaks, laurel, and the boots are fly too!

i'm on the lookout for the perfect pair of boots - preferably biker style - and these are the current contenders:

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/20/a5/0e/20a50eadcd598d948f152326c38eb95c.jpg (these might be a little too dressy)

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/76561262393719001/ (maybe a little toooo chunky)

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/0b/ce/77/0bce77ca3f97fe8f79da77e6598758b9.jpg

my new comfort look is mid thigh tunics, preferably loose and flowy, underneath a knee length cardigan, with bare legs or tights and badass boots.

I tried various iterations (several NOT CHEAP) of not-comfortable-looking-but-comfortable women's shoes and have fucking given up.

I bought (NOT CHEAP but yet CHEAP) two pairs of men's wingtips--the high-end kind--and am not looking back.

I get tons of compliments, my feet are happy, and these shoes are gonna last 10x longer then these crappy velcro shit stuff I wasted time on.

justine i like the "dressy" boots - a tiny bit steampunk but in a good way?? - and the last ones, which are pretty unfuckable with

yeah i really like them too, but i already have two pairs of really cool witchy/steampunk (also in good way) boots. i also have a pair of very simply black mid calf boots, but the have a very thin sole, so i feel like what's missing is pair of slightly chunky, more badass boots??

resole with maximum chunk!

Loooove those Abba shoes.

Was "flatform" a typo or is that a thing?

flatforms.. have been thinking about getting a pair actually

lately bought new oxfords from dieppa restrepo on super sale, they're really comfortable

omg those are so nice

I'm tired of wearing Docs everyday someone suggest me men's shoes that are slick and not sloppy

red wing oxfords

I am the last person you'd want this answer from

red wing oxfords look just like docs!

eh. no.

lmao these all look like shit tho???

http://www.redwingshoes.com/footwear/filter-m,Oxford

Trickers, Alden, something like that? Chunky brogues seem like a close cousin to docs.

I meant the red wing heritage line, not the main line

http://www.redwingheritage.com/us/USD/mens-footwear?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIo9rKlujL1QIVT2x-Ch3RegGCEAAYASAAEgJ4WPD_BwE#category=oxfords

i have two pairs of alden bluchers and they're great but i'm kind of afraid to wear them out

if I was into shoes that weren't Converse I'd go Adidas

Trying to find the right kind of nice leather shoes is a fool's errand, if you like Docs, stick to the plan, just get some different looking Docs

Does ilx like nike huraches?

For a long time my signature shoes were clarks desert boots, then two different kinds of red wings, but now I'm wearing these. Part of me thinks they're incongruous with the rest of my look but idk. I'm in love with them.

im p sure we have some huarache wearers on here.

i hadn't worn a big brand pair of sneakers in absolutely years but i got a pair of adidas nmd r2s and i feel like I'm walking on damn air

Yeah similar experience with the huraches. They are so comfortable. Idk why i spend all fall and winter in heavy red wing boots. I don't think I pull off ruggedness anyway.

<3 huaraches never owned any tho

just got a reimbursement check from work should i spend it all at once y/n
