Shoes (I'm uncomfortable with my name going right after "fuckery" in a thread title)

So cute! But not for $225.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Hmm. Theyskens Theory $465. It's hard for me to resist anything navy.

From $80 to $225

Why?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Ugh is right.

You can judge 90 percent of people’s personalities by their shoes, researchers say

For example, "practical and functional" shoes were generally worn by more "agreeable" people, while ankle boots were more closely aligned with "aggressive" personalities.

The strangest of all may be that those who wore "uncomfortable looking" shoes tend to have "calm" personalities.

Just bought these.

Will you wear them with white athletic socks?

Ha! It is true, LG is really a 65 year old man!

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

NO!!!!!

Ha. I see men wearing these casual slides with socks all the time and I'm like, WHY? I don't wear socks in the summer, ever. These are going to be my around-the-house slippers. I used to buy my massage sandals from an Australian company, but they don't make them anymore. :( I'm worried that the massage spikes on these aren't as tall as the Australian ones. Still, it's better than nothing. My feet need to be massaged, like, constantly.

I bought a pair of those adidas slides today, too. I've been curious about them for a while and The Shoe Dept. didn't have any decent Teva or Merrill sandals. Mine are black and blue - hope they help neuropathy.

I'll be interested to hear how you like them. Some people (who have never worn massage sandals) have found them painful and said they took awhile to break in. I never found that. They always felt like heaven on my feet. Any day where I didn't spend at least a few hours wearing the spiky insoles, my insteps were really sore.

[Courtney]

I LOVE these shoes..........

[Cynthia]

LG: I want those Adidas slides. My arches are killing me.

those bastards hurt! I'm using them to get to the pool, maybe I'll get used to them? Or the neuropathy is exaggerating the sharpness of the spikes.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Hmm.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Oooh, like. Christian Louboutin.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Alexander Wang...

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

VPL Mollusca heel. Yay or nay? I'm kind of liking it.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Louboutin....yay or nay?

[image error]

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Louboutin for men: yay or nay?

[Cynthia]

192: double nay. They look like hooves.

[evie]

#192 Nay . #193 Nice looking shoe, but nay to the colour combination.

#191 Looks like that shoe belongs on Star Trek.

Well picked up Cheri! They come in blue, tan and maroon.

I don't get it . Please 'splain it to me.

[Cheri]

It looks like a shoe a fashionable person would wear on a fancy date in outer space. But what would I know? All my shoes come with either horse or chicken shit on them.

[[deleted user]]

I prefer barefoot or flip flops. My hairdresser (Chinese & Vietnamese) says I must be Asian at heart, because I will wear flip flops in the snow. I can't always do that with an office type job, so I often wear flops or comfy shoes and keep a cute pair of less comfortable flats under my desk just in case a client comes in.

My feet get hot.

[Heidi]

I despise closed shoes - I'd rather wear sandals or flip flops on any given day... but apparently I have some foot pain issue that is not caused by a bone spur nor a broken bone (so they don't care what it is?). So I have to now start wearing closed shoes because open toe/heel shoes that are comfortable are virtually nonexistent... and I've even been encouraged to wear orthopedic shoes (uhhh, no). I'm too young to be wearing orthopedic shoes! I feel like I've been issued the old lady card.

I miss my $10 Old Navy flip flops already.

[[deleted user]]

I sometimes get a heel bruise on my left foot for some reason. I found the squidgiest flip flops ever!

My balls are killing me! I wore heels today. I'm just too old to hobble about in anything but flats these days. The balls of my feet feel like they should be resting on an ice pack. Bare feet on the cool cool bathroom tiles feels heavenly right now.

[Spellbound]

I do like heels, they make my legs look miles long, which makes up for my total lack of boobs. As I get older I find it harder and harder to endure though, so I always keep a pair of flats in my bag.

I have come to the conclusion that shoes have an "expiration date": some shoes can last a whole day at my feet, others 4 hours, others 2, etc.. This is the criteria I use when choosing what to wear.

Argh! I wish I wasn't so keen on pretty things!

[smetchie]

Wedges.

Wedges are the answer.

I'll take "Aches and Pains" for $400 please, Alex.

ugh.
I find wedges impossible to walk in.

[Jammies]

I need some wide-width, low-heeled, strappy black sandals. Am I going to find them? Probably not. *sigh*

[evie]

My feet are a battlefield. I bought some new flat shoes that have given me heel blisters. The back bit is really hard . Maybe I could wear my gardening shoes to work. They're really comfy.

[[deleted user]]

Evie, put some moleskin on your heels until you break them in.

[evie]

Is that a type of bandaid?

[[deleted user]]

Um, it's sticky on one side and kind of fizzy on the other. It should be in foot care sections, or for sure anywhere you can buy hiking gear.

I'll hobble to the pharmacy and see what they have. Regular bandaids do not do the job.

[[deleted user]]

No, this is actually sticky all on the one side, so it adheres to your skin completely. Hikers use it to keep from getting "hot spots" that cause blisters. I once tried to just super glue it inside my shoe...I don't recommend this course of action. I had to throw those shoes away. The super glue causes sharp edges - MUCH worse than a stiff backing!

[evie]

Aha! Dr Scholl of course. I will get some of those for when the blisters heal. At the moment I can wear runners, my comfy gardening shoes, slippers, or the ball crushers.

[Chris]

Shoes suck! I much prefer walking barefoot, or at least in sandals. When I must venture into the civilized world, my tennies do just fine.....but I still don't like 'em dagnabbit!
