Shoe sale!!!!!!

Check out the Steve Madden "Gotti" shoe, I bought Candies knock off version, looks the exact same. Also bought another pair of heels, don't remember what brand, and I just bought a pair of pencil heel boots! Gotta love buying new wardrobe when job hunting!

Speaking of wedding shoes, these are what i will wear on my wedding in 155 days! Yes, blue open toe pumps.



Now i'll have to find a skirt to go with these new boots of mine. YUM!

Can I ask one question for all of you who now wear the pointy toed shoes? I have tried dozens on, and they all feel like I need to chop off 3 toes to wear them. If I go up half a size my feet slide out with every step, if I go down, my toes are so crunched I can't move! Will it get better when I lose weight?

I've never had trouble with pointy toes - I wear an 8 medium. You might try buying the half-size larger and putting Dr. Scholl's cushions in them. They have some, designed to stick into the area, where the ball of your foot is. They keep your foot from sliding down into the point of the shoe.

Luckily, for me, I now have a sit-down job and can wear my beautiful shoes more often. The farthest that I walk, is from my car to my desk and from my desk to the ladies' room.

My coworker, Jennifer has some pretty snazzy shoes, too. Another coworker (male) teases us about our "hooker heels". I made sure that Jennifer knew about this sale, too.

I haven't worn heels for years, after I gained weight I just wore flat sole shoes, mainly because now my feet are fat. I have managed to buy 3 pairs of heels, 1 are boots that are pointy, but I bought a half size larger and will put some foot pad thingies in. (the word has slipped my mind). I have a regular pump, but round toed, and then I have the Gotti shoe. I have a sun room off of my room, which will be a dressing room/shoe room. Shoes are so adorable, and I love the 40's and 50's pinup girl style shoe, like the purple ones you showed which I have been eyeing for months.

That explains it. I commute by train, and have to walk three blocks from our house to the train station, and then another 7 1/2 blocks from the main city station to work (and back, naturally). All uphill/downhill. I also spend about 75% of my time at work on my feet - that's less strenuous than jumping up every minute or two to write something on the board. I think the muscles in my calves are so accustomed to flat shoes that they doubly protest over any heel over an inch high.

SHOES SHOES SHOES SHOES SHOES SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(oh, I'm sorry, did I get carried away???LOL)

Since I developed a heel spur, I can't wear flat shoes, for any length of time. Wearing heels keeps the pressure off of the spur and keeps my plantar fascia from contracting. Even my sneakers have built-up heels and I have orthotics in them.

How did I miss this thread?! I'm dying for some new shoes - I found some pink Sketchers the other day that I want, but I really need some heels... my boyfriend is 6'5" and I'm only 5'4" so I need all the help I can get!

I think you ladies need to make a visit to me here in Alabama! I've got a whole storeful of shoes! And yes, even some 11N!

OMG, so many cute shoes! I unfortunately can't do heels either. Teaching (aka running around after) 50 kindergarteners everyday does not really lend itself well to heels. And its so hard to find super cute flats. I do however kinda like these:

beryl's not so cute practical shoes

I will just sit here dreaming of the day when I too can wear cute shoes to work.

Starting with last Christmas, I have been buying pretty shoes, for the twins. Last Christmas, they got red Mary Janes, for their birthday, flowered sandals and this Christmas, cowboy boots. Sam, my DIL, is a wonderful girl and I love her dearly but, her tastes run to Doc Martens and Birkenstocks (the ugliest shoes ever made). SOMEBODY has to teach my granddaughters about pretty shoes. Its a family tradition, handed down from Granny to Mom to me. We Barfield-Dawson-Thomas women LOVE pretty shoes!

*sigh* i have such a weakness for shoes, and Cindy...i blame you, yes i blame you for bringing out the shoe devil in me. (j/k)

Now i'm out $50 but hey, at least i know i'll be looking pretty hot in these! 4" heels baby!

Oh yes, i caved in and ordered them. Not from Steve Madden online, but some other site that i found for $20 less and free shipping. Not too shabby

If only they have the gold destiny in my size...these are mad hot!

Have you received yours yet? It says on the site to size down because they run large, how do they fit? i usually wear a 5.5, if i have to size down, that means i need a 5. i don't think Steve Madden even makes shoes in size 5's

I wear an 8 and they weren't available in 7.5. I have Steve Madden shoes, in both sizes (Hit last year's half-price/buy one get one free sale) and they both fit fine. If these run a bit large, I'll put insoles in them.

BTW: my new book was delivered today. It is entitled Bootism: A Shoe Religion, by Michael Duranko and Penina Goodman. At last! A religion that I can REALLY identify with!
