The Footwear Appreciation Thread

Great shoes ladies!
I've only recently started wearing heels - especially wedges. I have no idea if they are in style but they are so much fun! Here's the last pair that I picked up. I am almost 6'3" in these ones

 

love them athena, they're gorgeous...!!! you should put that in the ww feet thread for tony & the lads

 

Athena gorgeous sandals and feeties. I wish we could see the top design too. Your man is pretty tall too right? I bet he loves you in heels.

 

Thanks! He's about 6'2". Here are the tops of the sandals, and thanks again!!

 

Great shoes Athena.....and no, not out of style, and who cares if they are....if you like them, wear them...that's my opinion...I wear what I like and is comfortable whenever I want...

 

I have some really comfy heels, I wore them out Friday night and I've worn them twice before that and they haven't rubbed or become painful at all. They are like wearing a pair of boots, fabulous.

A favourite pair of flat shoes.

The black heels look good on you Francie. Are they suede? I got a new pair of black suede pumps and I love them!

I like the red too, but I can't see the heels. Oh but maybe they're flats, I forget people buy flats LOL!

 

Yep the black ones are suede and a real bargain too at £40 although I could probably find the same style for half the price but they would be made badly, hence bad for my feet, I hate poorly fitting shoes.

The red ones are flats, i liked them when me and the ex were out shopping and when I popped into Argos he went back and got them for me.
Even though they're flats the straps make them a bit more interesting

Post ur new ones

 

I knew I took pics for someone, but I had to hunt for them. I'd been eyeing these for months, but I was trying to put a freeze on shoe buying for a few months... divorce attorneys get expensive after a couple years... but they went on sale from 110.00 USD to 35.00 USD, so I just couldn't resist that kinda bargain.

 

Thanks! Suede shoes have their downside though, I wanted to wear them when I went out with someone recently but it was raining like hell, so I had to pass. I had several backup pairs to choose from, but I really wanted to wear these.

 

Unfortunately though it leads to other hidden costs like the need to remodel your closet to make more space for shoes.

 

Wow I really like them and a real bargain
I looked at a pair similar but they were suede with bronzed studs all over, my usual size 7 was slipping off when I tried them on and the size 6 was too small, I wished shoe makers did more half sizes.

These are the shoes I want to buy next, they are £49.50 but I think they are worth the money, will have to wait till the end of the month though.

Ankle straps are nice, I find pumps always slip off my heel and I have to add heel pads to keep them on at all, so I prefer straps.

 

Thanks Tam, the flats are a great red aren't they, it's hard to find a pair of really red shoes unless they are patent red and red patent is not my thing.

 

I have the same problem, I never thought of adding heel pads before though.
I'm always veering towards ankle strap shoes these days, I feel so much more confident if something is ankering my foot in the shoe.
I've gotten my heels caught in a paving stone quite a few times and been shoeless due to wearing pumps.
Oh the trials of beautiful shoes.

 

Foot petals makes some good heel pads and they work well. I do agree that I always feel a little off wearing pumps if they slip, just less sure footed all the way around. Not to mention I have a tendency to be clumsy, so I really don't need shoes that contribute to that. I do love beautiful shoes, but sometimes you have to pass if they up the chances of you breaking your neck or seriously busting your arse.
