Shoes are da bomb!

“I never threatened to ignore. In fact, I said that I wasn't going to ignore.

Enough of the 12 year old boys. Back to SHOES! Today I have on my cute, black heels with white thread trim and the 1/2" straps that wrap around my ankle and buckle. Another thrift store find. $3 :)

“LOL... no... I think we're the lighter side, from what I've seen....

but be prepared to be called....






A TROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(at least until people know you're here for real... :-)”

“Will everyone stop fussing?

DDX, cool on the hat. I have two cowboy hats that I wear, but not to work. Sometimes I wear one when going out for the evening. I have also worn my straw one while backpacking. Get lots of compliments on it when I do. But I don't have a buckle or boots or cowbow shirts. Just the hat.”

Yea! Everyone hush! I want to talk western wear with my friend Ruby. I want one of those cool narrow straw cowboy hats to backpack with!

I have 2 pair of cowboy boots. Haven't wore them in years.”

“Bunny - Thanks and you are very wise. :)

My honesty is my best attribute and can be my biggest stumbling block. Women appreciate it on a first date but never after that. LMFAO!

I'm an open book but figuring me out may be more difficult than one might imagine

So lets be positive here:

I have one pair formal black loafers that are retired
I have one pair formal/casual black shoes that are used with my one CEFI suit. I have 6 ties and shirts or so to change the appearance of my CEFI suit.

There am I being a good citizen?

Now, who wants to ask me a question????”

“WoundedKnee,

That's exactly what my hat is. I picked it up this summer on a trip to Red River Gorge.”

geesh and people call southerners country bumpkins”

“I admit... I have a cowboy hat my friend gave to me years ago... I used to listen to country music (new country, not old country--i.e. Garth Brooks, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Tim McGraw, Shania Twain, Reba, Wynona, etc..) all of the time...

Lately, I've just been listening to whatever sounds good at the moment (on the radio)... or to my CDs....”

“THose narrow straw plowboy hats are so lame”

“But shoes ?? how bout talking about beer ??
can't drink a shoe now can ya ?
If served cold, a shoe still won't taste good, but beer will!
beer is cheaper than shoes.
beer makes you feel good inside, shoes, only on the outside. See i can go on and on .....”

“I agree. I don't like plowboy hats. ;-)”

“Ruby, I got to get me one. I have my Russian fez hat I wear in the winter.

Ewker, Ha Ha! I worked at a country western store back in college for awhile. The boots were part of the uniform, but I must confess they are one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I own.”

“Shoes don't make anybody look better at closing time in a bar.”

“gotta make a thread on beer... this is one on Shoes!

I don't like the straw cowboy hats either. MIne is black with a brown leather trim where the bowl meets the brim...”

“OOOOOoooh!!! Can I have those? One in each color please!

I'm discovering that I really like Franco Sartos. :)”

“I was going to go shopping today for shoes at Nordstrom's Rack. But I was just told that my afternoon job cancelled and I was assigned to a new one. This one sounds sweet. They're sending a car around to pick me up to bring me to the dep. Wonder if I can get the driver to stop at the shoe store?”

“Ruby-- those shoes are "da bomb!" they look perfect for dancing-- do you know if they have a leather sole? Also, post the link, please? :-D”

“Ruby, where are you? Isn't Nordy's a NW thing?”

“I'm in the Chicago Loop. The link is www.garnethill.com. Do a search for shoes. I think they are on the third page. They also have awesome women's clothes.

I love this edit feature. Here's the direct link.

“Wow... $82 is too much for me... :-( especially because of my wide feet-- I have to try the shoes on in person before buying!

My bro lives in Chicago, too! :-)
We have a Nordy's Rack here in the Detroit ARea as well--but I don't get out there too often (about 20 minutes away.)”

“I have found Franco Sartos on ebay for $20. It can be done if you work a little for them.”

“I got my new FS blue slides at Nordy's rack for $22! Orig $80. ;)”

“There is a Nordstroms in Atlanta in the Perimeter mall. All my female friend just love going there and sitting down and let the butt-kissing begin.

I'm wearing my TNF Ultra 102 Trail Runner again.... not very cute eh?”

“I had a pair of these two years ago. They were and are to this day the most comfortable pair of shoes I ever owned. Delta lost them on a business trip to Napa, Ca sometime aound last Thanksgiving. They were discontinued and I could not find a pair ANYWHERE... even online or any of the local shops. They now appear before me again... a bit more then what I paid for mine... must... resist... don't... need... shoes... (Mine were the do-do brown color).

“Just so you know, the beer thread is better
then the shoe thread.”

“DX, those are one of the ugliest pair of shoes I have ever seen and in sh1T brown to..gross”

“They are ugly aren't they? But damn are they comfy :) I regard them similarly to my crocs...”

“yeah, those are ugly!”

“I agree--- Fugly to the max! If Thinkbubelz were to wear those shoes, he'd have to have a good whoopin'....”

“Dang, Ewker, You are very judgmental of people.”

“Ruby, if you read the thread the next 4 people agreed the shoes were ugly. Even DX thinks they are ugly and he wore them.

“They are so ugly they are cool :)”

“If you say so...”

“I don't think they are ugly! So there!

I have on some high heeled penny loafer style shoes I got cheapy at Mervyn's (a la Ally McBeal) It's getting mighty cold here. I can't wear my cool strappy shoes. Brr.

Franco Sarto's are available all over. Most major department stores have them. Pink, do you have Macy's?

Di, Nordstrom may have started here, but they have stores all over the US now. They even have Nordstromshoes.com. Woo Hoo!”

“Nope, no Macy's
just "Needless Mark-Up (Neiman Marcus)", Lord and Taylor, Saks Fifth AVenue, Marshall Fields (which is not as good as when it was "Hudson's"), Nordstroms Rack...

I will have to keep an eye out-- maybe DSW will have them! I would love to try them on!”

“Apparently I am living in my memory. (I had the brown shoes on yesterday!) Today I have Via Spiga, squre toed, 3 in square heeled mary janes that are maroon snake skin.

Pink, I'm sure one of those department stores will have the shoes.

I actually love Neiman Marcus. There used to be a dept store here called Frederick and Nelson. They were the best! They were basically the same co. as Neiman Marcus. They closed down in the 80's. (sniff sniff.)”

“My assistant editor told me she has more than 100 pairs of shoes. I told her she has a serious Imelda Marcos problem.”

“How cold IS it? I'm still sockless in Waldies...
It's high 30s low 40s during the day...though today was a warm 50!

those shoes ARE ugly, DX...but I know what you mean about comfort...”

“Did a little shopping on my way home today:








Then to top it off, the salesgirl shows me a matching handbag to the brown two-tone shoes. It was $60 marked down to $40 plus another 25% off, which would make it $30. As cute as it was, I declined. Then she mentioned that if I bought it then my total purchase cost would reach the amount at which I would be entitled to a $20 off coupon. So in essence the bag was $10. I couldn't resist it then. I have never owned a matching shoes and handbag set before. I feel so metro.”

“I don't know. You'll probably think it's warm here. But regardless of what you consider warm or cold, my feet get cold in this temperature without socks. In fact they are cold right now in socks. Basically they are always cold unless it's over 85 degrees, or I'm sitting in a hot tub. So if I want to be a slave to fashion I suffer with cold feet.”

“Pixie, your shoes sound awesome.”

“Ruby!

All three of those are CUTE!! Where did you get them?”

“Black ones with the hot pink accents came from Parade-store going out of business sale. Gotta love that.

The other two came from Nine West.

I hadn't even made it to Nordstrom's Rack by the time I bought those three. That will have to be for another day.

Next thing on my To Do list is to go buy outfits to go with the shoes.”

“I forgot to mention, I think DDX's shoes are very cool.”

“BTW guys... my #1 rule of shoe shopping... don't shoe shop to please yourself... because men have horrible taste in shoes... shoe shop to please the women ;) Two of the prettiest ladies on the board thinks my shoes are cool... who can argue with that? :)

I can't decide between do-do brown or Black... decisions... my old pair were brown... but the black sure looks nice in the picture.”

“Well, duh....get both colors! ;-)”

“Hush enabler! lol :P

Going with brown. The blacks look too much like my Steve Maddens.”

so what about the women who think the shoes are ugly. Are you saying they are ugly because they don't like them either ;)”

“hmmm, maybe I need to go get a couple of new pair of shoes....”

“yeah roam, snowshoes and hiking boots for Co.

ok guys, how many of you look at a womans shoe when you first meet. Is it the shoe that makes you want to go out with her. I doubt it.

I really doubt women look at a man's shoe first also.”
