Cute in a frumpy kind of way (which is to say I like them).

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 11 May 2006 14:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I find these discussions about shoes strange - very alien.

To put that another way, I envy you people, for your knowledge and enthusiasm. Your world of footwear seems very glamorous.

Thank you, pinefox.

archel, yes, cute in a very practical way! i like the criss-cross bits. and the sole looks solid. good for walking.
i have been shoe shopping online uk-style and would also suggest these:

or ones like them - i bought a pair of clarks originals (brown, side lace-up) in oxford back when i first visited (2002!) and they're still kicking and i LOVE THEM. i finally wore through the sole last summer though, so need to fix that, if possible.

also, look what i found, cute, i want:

Archie, sorry to disagree but I really don't like the chunky heel on those black shoes, above. If you don't want spiky heels, how about a kind of hourglass shaped heel?

OK have decided that if I am to get these YSL shoes the colour I want them in is SEPIA. Yes, sepia. Shock horror I have some clothes that require non-black footwear to look good. And worn with sepia not black fishnets/crochet pattern tights this might look divine all year.

what is a "bar"?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 11 May 2006 17:08 (seventeen years ago) link

oh those yellow ones are cutey.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 11 May 2006 17:09 (seventeen years ago) link

a "bar"?

okay, last pair i'll post, but ones i really want b/c even if they're not ultra stylish (like those yellow ones, aw), i KNOW they're really comfortable (clarks originals) and will last. alas, only available in UK and would cost me a stupid amt of money (that i do not have right now, esp for wedge sandals of all things) to get. OH WELLL.

clarks should stick to wallabees.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 May 2006 17:21 (seventeen years ago) link

i would agree with that except that these are like wallabees wedges! i like the originals series, but then, i have twee britishers feet, i think.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 11 May 2006 17:32 (seventeen years ago) link

The wallaby sole/heel material that reminds me of snot in a resin mould makes the wedge look more appropriate to the needs of the senior shopper.

― suzy (suzy), Thursday, 11 May 2006 17:54 (seventeen years ago) link

i see what you mean about the senior-needs aesthetic. but i'm rather drawn to that kind of thing (yeah...), if styled up a bit. i still think i could pull it off - the wedge appears less gummy in close-up.

i feel like i should post something totally impractical yet gorgeous to make up for this. but i won't. today.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 11 May 2006 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I also sort of covet those YSL heels, but I fear that on me they would make me look like I was wearing buckets on my feet. (If I could even afford a pair.) (Any pair of shoes! I am so broke, and wish to buy so many pairs.)

― sgs (sgs), Thursday, 11 May 2006 18:52 (seventeen years ago) link

three weeks pass...

that impending football tournament may have influenced me into buying these rather retro sneakers, somewhat enigmatically named 'the nike':

cuuuueeet

Oh my god those shoes are awesome--where did you get them???

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 5 June 2006 18:03 (seventeen years ago) link

yaay, i love my new shoes!
i got them at Aldo - i haven't bought shoes there in years and years, but sometimes they have really nice stuff! (most of it's all super trendy and/or not for me.)

one month passes...

If i wear a UK size 8 and a Euro 42, what size of shoes should i wear in the US?

― leigh (leigh), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 11:10 (seventeen years ago) link

men's 8.5 / women's 10

― sunny successor (katharine), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 11:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Ooh, there are some nice shoes on this thread :)

I like shoes, and whilst I do have a pair or two of quite expensive/overpriced ones, I have also recently discovered the joy of Primark shoes. Cheap-and-cheerful catwalk copies for a mere £8 a pair! Who cares if they fall apart after only a few months!

― C J (C J), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 11:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I recently purchashed these whilst in San Francisco:

And I love them. Quite possibly my favourite pair of shoes, ever.

i bought these ho shoes for $9.99.

im not sure ill ever wear them but patent pink sure is pretty to look at.

― sunny successor (katharine), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 11:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Hmm,I tried a pair of Canadian size 10s and couldn't get my feet into them. I had my eye on a pair of shoes that are the same price in dollars as they are in pounds over here so i was going to get my mum to pick up a pair for me while she's over but i dunno if it's worth the risk.

― leigh (leigh), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 14:14 (seventeen years ago) link

got some new shoes

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 14:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Craving these for fall (with colored tights) but can't afford yet:

I'm just craving fall.

― Ms. Misery TX (MissMiseryTX), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 14:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I love these (which are MINE - in dark brown tho):

I also own these in blue which actually have an Eiffel Tower snow dome in the heel...

Oh, and when I got married I wanted these (but didn't get em):

I love shoes.

― shoes in hand (disco clone), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 17:30 (seventeen years ago) link

those patrick cox ones are beautiful. i want!

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 17:43 (seventeen years ago) link

i too love shoes, but these last three, in ascendant degree, cross some kind of the line, not fetishization but nearing it. which is fine, but i feel like i'd have to be wearing equally elaborate clothes to go with them. like a wedding dress made out of flowers. which would be rad.

― rrrobyn sharkattack battleforcenet (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 17:45 (seventeen years ago) link

where are those eiffel tower shoes from??

― sunny successor (katharine), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 17:47 (seventeen years ago) link

and, haha, pink ho shoes are great.
they would look awesome with a mod-ish white dress.
xpost!

― rrrobyn sharkattack battleforcenet (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 17:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Laurel, i prefer those shoes in tan!

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 18:41 (seventeen years ago) link

tissp, I have a pair of those and you're right: best shoes ever.

― daniel striped tiger (OutDatWay), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link

nice. i'm envisioning them going well with a lot of 70s colors - burnt orange, umber, dark forest green, etc.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 19:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I want these. I am trying to think of a universe in which it is OK to spend £95 on shoes I don't need.

those pink ho shoes are amazing!

why do you people have to be reviving my favorite thread when I have one million things to do?

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 19:46 (seventeen years ago) link

I got the Patrick Coxes from this vintage shop place for £15, I guess they were second hand but didn't look it. The water's all cloudy now, I've had them for about 8 years :(

Rrobyn, the weird heel ones don't actually look weird on, no-one ever notices the heel when you're walking around in them - they just look like cute pumps. But otm about the flower ones, they're hardly work-wear...

― shoes in hand (disco clone), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 19:55 (seventeen years ago) link

you can get the weird heel ones on zappos.com, I forget the brand though! they're like $75 I think..?

I am thinking of buying a pair of Chie Mihara shoes for fall..

― dar1a g (daria g), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 20:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I bought these the other day, enticed by the £109 -> £30 reduction. I've little idea when I'll actually wear them.

Possibly when I go and see Miami Vice.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 20:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Very snazzy.

I also got these.

Patrick Cox reminds me of nothing but "Spaced", I'm afraid!

I was in London yesterday and accidentally bought both of these.

Whoops! I particularly like the NB ones.
