Look down...What Do Your Shoes Say About You?

You're new here, but everyone will tell you I am the Imelda Marcos of this forum, and I have very similar boots to those you lust after...:love:

oooo, I'm envious. I covet. But, you know, happy for you too. I would love to see them if it's not a PITA, which I know it can be at times, so no pressure. Maybe I'll show you a couple pictures of runners up numbers two and three I'd also like to have. :giggle:🩰

I'm the opposite- basic, and the fewer the better!!

At the moment, after being out doing errands, mine might say to me: HEY DID YOU FORGET CANVAS SNEAKERS ARE NOT WATERPROOF?!? :cautious::cautious::cautious:

OMG, my ballet slippers say that to me all the time! LOL
I can't claim to be an Imelda of anything as I am a minimalist, but since I wear my ballet slippers constantly, only have three pair and one is (well two but one set of those are for house so it's not urgent) wearing out, I feel it's time for another pair.

The boots, ah the beautiful boots. Well, I need outdoor shoes for when my ballet slippers just can't take it. -- I once made the mistake of thinking I could get away with them during a light sprinkle when attending a doctor's appointment, which ended up being so embarrassing because they were soaked when my doc was checking my feet and ankles and complimenting my cute shoes.

EDIT: Grammar
 
I have 4 pairs of shoes: an old beat up, glued together pair of oxfords for dirty work, some indoor outdoor slippers with velcro closures that I wear most of the time, a nice pair of moc toe oxfords for when I care about looking decent, and a pair of slip on boat shoes that I never wear.

When we got married, I bought a pair of patent leather shoes for $10. I thought that was outrageous. I was making $3 an hour at the time.

Well all my summer footwear aside from my trainers are in a box in the attic but come spring when I get them down again..I'll certainly post a pic, no problem.. (y) . I thought I'd already posted a pic of them on here already but it must have been on the forum before this before we changed to this new format a while back

Well, as I say, no pressure; I hate pressure. If you get around to and feel like it, we'll exchange ankle boot porn. (Did that sound weird to anyone else? LOL)

EDIT: Type. Sheesh, all freaking day with the typos.

If I can find them in my size, they’re one of my favourites.

Our outdoor shoes come off as soon as we walk indoors and we put on good quality slip-on shoes that never go outdoors. My favourite indoor pair were Josef Siebel, they had great arch support and lasted for years. I even put on my slippers to walk into the ensuite in the middle of the night.

It’s SOP for any workman who comes into a house to cover their boots with disposable booties. This isn’t just us, it’s been like this for years.

Sadly Josef Siebel sizes dont come in halve sizes …I’m normally a 6.5. But the 6 is fine

How to tell a good sole: You really can judge a person by their shoes....A quick experiment for you: Look down at your shoes right now.
What were you wearing, sandals? Shiny, well-polished shoes? High heels? Nice shoes but a little scuffed around the edges?

Well, whatever your choices, this experiment shows that you really can judge a person by their shoes ... and you do not need to see anything else to do so.

Good Morning all. :)
I am wondering if any of the senior members or VP's here can help me with whether it's okay to bring just the topic and my initial response to this clever thread over to another forum I am on?
 
I'm a big guy (6'5" & 255 lbs.), wear a size 15 shoe, I over pronate big time and I'm as flat footed as a duck.

I go barefoot pretty much all of the time but when I do go out some place or mow I wear sneakers that were designed for big ol' boys like me with flat feet and who over pronate......the Brooks Addiction 14.

They haven't made that exact model in a year or two but I've got a few pair put back for a rainy day.

I had to look this up, having never heard that term before. For the similarly unaware:

Overpronation and supination (underpronation) are two types of foot landing tendencies. In contrast to neutral pronation, overpronation distributes too much weight to the inside of the landing foot. Supination distributes the weight excessively to the foot’s outer edge. Both increase the risk of injury.
 
I'm wearing grungy old sneaks. I think the dirt and grim are the only thing keeping them from falling apart. Last week the bottoms of my favorite sneaks fell off. Today, one has to have bright white sneaks to be chic. So. I have to get new sneaks, so I won't be gauche. Horrors!!!!!
The problem is by the time I get "with it", it's on TV as to what people did in the olden days.
