I’m in love

With these, among other things:

They’re called the Bologna, and they’re sold by British shop Duo. Here’s the kicker (as it were): Duo’s boots come in a variety of calf sizes. The question now is whether I can justify spending roughly $250 on them…

Uncanny

Here’s a flat from Steve Madden, named “Pavement”, and priced at $70 (less 30% at the moment):

And here is “Candbury” by Chloé, originally 465 of the US dollars but down to $232.50 at Net-a-Porter:

I like this sort of thing because it’s very easy to take a Fred Mertz view of the runways: that high fashion [...]

Why was I not informed?!

I’m not really shopping for shoes right now, since I just bought two lovely pair of Indigo sandals yesterday. However, I bought those shoes at an Allen-Edmonds tent sale, which got me thinking about dress shoes (I love really classic men’s business wear). Also, apparently today was a Saturday Sale at Shoes.com. All of the [...]

Dear Mr. Madden,

You may think that I am past these shoes. You would be wrong.

Oh yes, I still intend to own these shoes, even though it has been months since that day I tried them on under the witchy eye of one of your sub-sub-managers. They will be mine, mark my words. My work-study allotment and I [...]

A fine line

Cute? Or ugly?

Of course, they’d probably just chop my toes all to pieces anyway.

The old college try (to remember)

Do you remember that whole thing last year or so, about the girls who wore flip flops to the White House? I think it was last year, but I don’t really remember. I’m so out of touch it took me an age to realize that it was my own school’s women’s lacrosse team what done [...]

Now that’s a dealbreaker

My feet are recovering from their blisters, and so it’s time to leap right back on the horse and start looking at shoes. Hope springs eternal that someday I will have a pair of shoes that does not eat my feet alive. I have been grudgingly looking at the wide sized shoes, mostly out of [...]

New low

I just saw a commercial on TV for the “Chrysler Sebring” which opens with a close up of a Glamorous Woman in black patent heels stepping out of the car. As she swirls around to close the door and sashay down the sidewalk with the Studly Driver, you get a glimpse of red shoes. “Ahh,” [...]

All I do the whole day through

It’s raining and miserable outside, and I don’t even have my gaudy rubber puddle-jumping boots so it’s a good day to stay in, drink lots of tea, and think about summer. (And brainstorm about the Hindutva movement, but that’s for after the tea.)

I bought two pairs of shoes Monday morning from Endless.com, Amazon’s newest ploy [...]

On the horizon

All of a sudden, here it is the end of the quarter. That helps to explain the sudden shoe-lust; anything to prevent thinking about final papers.  Class A I’m hoping to have functionally drafted this weekend as I have to present it on Monday; Class B hasn’t been assigned, while Class C has given us [...]
