Shoes!

[Glamourcide]

So... what do you usually wear? What's your favourite pair? Does everyone think you were a caterpillar in a past life because you have so many pairs? Where do you get your shoes (ie, where can *I* get those shoes?! They're hot!) Any other stiletto/boot lovers out there in BB-land?

[*LittleMissSummer*]

I have so many different shoes.. I would love to own stillettos but i cannot walk in them! so i mostly have wedges or small heels. I buy shoes by what they look like so I range from getting them at Kmart, target, Myer..etc.. to getting Diana Ferrari, Joanne Mercer..etc. But i'm not sure if you know of Rubi Shoes but they have cheap shoes and some are so god damn CUTE!! i own about 50-60 pairs.. its not a great deal compared to a few other ladies i know (over 300..) my favourite pair of shoes at the moment are my Diana Ferrari black boots!!! i wear them every chance i get.. I would buy more shoes if my DP would let me.

I have had a boot fetish since my first pair of knee high black patent front laced boots in the 70's when i was 8years of age ...

I could wear boots every day of the year of i could.

Lucky for me DP works for a company that gives 50% off current brands that are available in Myers ... Um, anyone jealouzzz, LOL

Needless to say i'd love to say i own a hundred pairs but i DON'T

ZOMP is my fav shop in Melb at stocktake time too (i have seen one in Sydney too)

(I know BB member - RainbowRaver has a 'high-heel' fetish, i might add she has fab taste in 'em too )

I have a serious shoe fetish - DH made me throw out ....25 pairs when we moved....

I have stilettos that would make a stripper fear for her ankles - but I can run in them ...LOL
My 2 fave pairs are : candy apple red patent leather stilettos with a zip along the side and silver stilettos for going out to clubs (like thats gonna happen again anytime soon .... )

Jus have nowhere to wear them now so live in flats

i live in my Nike Shox

i also have a pair of ballet flats that i like to wear.

i think i have about 5 other pairs, nothing special at all!

oh, and my long ugg boots, love those too

[Glamourcide]

Oh, I hear you on that one, LaDeeDa!! Dh is always complaining about me buying shoes that I'll never wear anywhere because they're so out-there

I just got three new pairs - lipstick-red patent Mary Janes with black ribbon detail, purple slouchy leather peep-toes (kind of gladiator/bootie-style), and my favourites - pink and black mock snakeskin platform stilettos!!
Hardly any of my heels are under 5 inches, I love big chunky monstrosities because I have skinny legs and am heavier from the hips up, so big shoes balance me out a bit.

I do have one pair of suede mary-jane style ballet flats that I wear just about everywhere because they're so cute and school-girlish One of my rare IRL purchases, usually I buy online.

Lol DoubleK!! My mum keeps pestering me to join the pilates class she's been attending, but I don't even own a pair of trainers! I'd feel funny rolling up in workout gear and thongs or ballet flats hehee

[Daydream Believer]

I love boots & ballet flats

I love heels but I dont wear them, feels like my toes are breaking in closed toe heels. Any suggestions on how to stop that? coz I would love to wear them

[Matryoshka]

Oooh i have a shoe fetish, i can't count how many pairs i have, but generally these are the brands i buy:

Heels - Chanel - i usually buy second hand on ebay as full price is a little out of reach

Trainers - Miss Sixty - again ebay (very comfy and funky)

Thongs - Havainias - usually from surf shops, they last forever.

Boots - Miss Sixty - again ebay or sometimes select boutiques, very good quality.

Then depending on the season or current style i wear wedges, canvas flats, sandals, ballet flats and other miscellaneous styles.

Shall we post pics of some of our favourite shoes?

I'm a flats kinda girl. I loveeeeeee thongs, and ballet flats. I do really like my Etnies too. They're really comfy and have lasted for ages.

Matryoshka - Havainias are my faves too. So comfy!!

I wish I was a heels person sometimes. I'd like a bit of extra height especially compared to my DP.

[Matryoshka]

I know sometimes people balk at the price of havainias but i've had pairs that are over 5 years old and still going strong, whereas cheaper pairs often have to throw out after one summer.

i only buy havianas - they last 4 times as long as $9 kmart ones

[Daydream Believer]

i only buy havianas - they last 4 times as long as $9 kmart ones

Totally agree with that

I have a black pair, a purple pair & an orange pair & thats all I wear in summer. The oldest ones about 6 years old

[Glamourcide]

I had to stop buying Havaianas because my dog was chewing up at least one pair a month I bought some $6 ones from Big W and they're pretty good, and at least if the dog eats them they're not too expensive to replace!!

Shoeeeeeees... something a big girl like me can still feel special in

I have a gorgeous pair of black PVC lace up boots (with zips up the sides) that have very cute bettie heels.

I have some ankle boots that have gorgeous detailed leather designs and ribbon laces...

Little patent shoes that I can't really explain other than they are lace up, come up to the ankle with cute heels.

My high heel Mary Janes that EVERYONE loves they are just cute...

Some very funky little small heeled 50's style lacy peep toe shoes.

My Betty Boop Wedge Heel Flats (I know that sounds weird but it is what they are called I promise!) the irony is they cost my $30 from Target or K-Mart and everyone comments when I wear them. And they go well when I go rockerbilly.

I also have red patent high heel mary janes that I loved but I destroyed them by not oiling them and they have cracked

Cute seems to be a popular adjective with my shoes LOL!

I'm a ballet flats or a thongs girl myself havianas for shizzle! And I have 1 pair of each. I'm horrible for wearing/loving a pair of shoes to death and then sulking when they die. I need to even out my wear, i think!

I LOVE boots, but I don't think I have the legs to carry them off (eg, wearing them over jeans and such, makes me look shorter!) I did have one gorgeous pair that i forked out quite alot for, and my lovely german shepherd pup destroyed them when he was about 9 weeks old. Lucky he was cute because I would have destroyed him, too!
