Caution re the rope platforms above: the heel might jam your poor toe junction mercilessly into that thong. Also, the back strap doesn't buckle, it only has elastic, and that elastic WILL wear out. Granted it's only like $5 to have replaced but y'know, it's just one more thing.
Blue fishtail-y wedges are purdy!

The cross in front strap seems better to me on more delicate shoes, I guess, something about the really thick straps doesn't work on me very well. Maybe I have fat ankles!!!!

I am really coming to the point where I find it harder and harder to justify paying large amounts of money on shoes. I wear them down tremendously, make no effort to take care of them, and then really just don't have the attention span to remember to get them fixed before the heel etc gets tooooo manky.
Doesn't stop me from going through Bluefly hoping for some mispriced Jimmy Choos to show up eventually but hell if I'm paying even $200 for them.

but 39.99 is reasonable! you should get them, since I can't.
― horseshoe (horseshoe), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 19:34 (seventeen years ago) link
shit.
xpost I know. I often get influenced by the percentage-off number, and not the actual price actually. More so with clothes than with shoes but I tend to hang onto clothes a lot longer than shoes so I justify it to myself, yet still I'm sitting here like "Why DID I buy those thigh high stiletto boots again?"
― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 19:36 (seventeen years ago) link
XP: yeah but you have to take care of shoes! I mean, you don't HAVE to in which case yeah, keep buying ones you won't miss and everyone's happy. But I like finding that $200 pair of Italian boots for $20 (TRUE STORY) at DSW and even over the LIFE of the pair of shoes I probably won't pay the orig price for re-heeling/re-soleing/polishes. And the construction is gorgeous. It's just a terrible idea for "event" shoes cos you never know what you'll find or when.

YUMMY. Okay, $240 worth of yummy.
― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 19:43 (seventeen years ago) link
In terms of the rest of your post, if you find things like that then yeah totally do it and totally take care of them! What I'm talking about, basically, is shoes that the LIFE of them, for me, is going to be a year, max (and even then yeah, I often have the same thing Lauren mentions, the expensive pair gets jacked and then the cheapy replacement I buy out of necessity for rest-of-season holds up), I just...dunno. I'm nowhere near (meaning metro-able as I don't have a car) a DSW, btw, that I know of, so my only current outlet (ha ha ha etc) is the internet which is surprisingly kind of crap for this kind of thing. :(
Anyway my credit card was saved for another day as the two shoes I wanted on Nine West did not come in my size.

Maybe not, but there are two or three other boot styles? Perhaps none of them are right but worth a try? http://www.easyspirit.com/s?namespace=catalog&origin=viewall_category.jsp&event=pg.shoe&cid=45001&viewall=yes

i have a fucking hell of a time finding shoes i like. seriously, i have three pairs of shoes right now and they are all cheap crap that are wearing out. i have this crazy theory that every pair of shoes makes me look fat. which seems a little weird. BUT I SWEAR.. ITS TRUE.
