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.

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 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:

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.
― just1n3, Friday, 19 February 2016 20:24 (eight years ago) link
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.

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??

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.
― Treeship, Tuesday, 15 August 2017 21:54 (seven years ago) link
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
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 22:00 (seven years ago) link
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.

confession: i have a big callous on the bottom of both of my feet, right on the ball of my feet. i can hold a flame to it for 5 seconds and i can't feel a fucking thing. haven't tried that yet but i believe it to be true. recently, i realized i have the callouses because i have holes in both soles of my pair of IRL shoes. i tend to use things until they break, and this really got reinforced during coronavirus.
i'm a fuckin mess
here's my question: does anyone have any recommendations for walking around shoes that don't feature large advertisements for the shoe company on them? for example, imagine the perfect shoe, whatever that means, but "SHOE CO." is printed on the back. disqualified. also disqualified: anything that looks like a modern athletic shoe. no. nothing like that. i just want a comfortable shoe that isn't an advertisement and doesn't look like an 8-year-old inherited the design division of a shoe company.
