i just got some chie miharas on ebay http://i7.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/f7/9d/8bcd_2.JPG hot or not?

cute! i love the heel.
i have put myself on a no new shoes plan because i am broke and irresponsible, so i will have to live vicariously through all of you.

Holy shit, bell, OMG you got those?? I cannot wait to see that.
― Laurel, Monday, 23 June 2008 17:40 (sixteen years ago) link
i love those! i almost bought them, but the ankle tie was a terrible look for my short-ish legs.
― lauren, Monday, 23 June 2008 17:41 (sixteen years ago) link
i'm actually really mad about that, thinking about it again.
yeah i'm really excited...i'm not really a heel person, but the other chie mihara shoes i've tried on have all been really comfy. i didn't think i'd win them because i didn't even meet the reserve but the buyer sold them to me anyways yusssssss.

haha no, the 'shoes video' is this 'youtube phenomenon' that this la guy did ages ago where he plays a girl with a blond wig who loves shoes yaay and there is sort of a song. and shoes.
my favourite kith sketch related to shoes is the one where scott walks into a shoe store dressed in a trenchcoat and dave is the shoe salesman who has learned several english phrases phonetically but doesn't actually understand english. scott says 'just got feet don't got shoes' and beats dave up. it is pretty genius.

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.
