Sorry it worked out that way. I hope the trip was good work-wise, though. My suggestion: next time, buy two pair.

I've really been needing new boots for all-day casual shoots. So, today, I found these through a close-out site for only $40, so I totally couldn't resist (but this site had better photos of them):

Boots

$40 seems like a great price for those, Disneyphile. :snap:

Thierry Rabotin, mon amour, why must you be so out-of-my-league pricey?
$395 smackeroos + shipping

If you see me in these shoes, have me arrested. It is criminal to spend that kind of money.

I decided to assume that the condo sale will go through and splurge a little (it was a sale!) on replacing my ancient held-together-by-hope-and-prayer sandals. I was mostly looking for comfort, and I can't wear thong sandals.





And, for no rational reason:

My new boots arrived today! :D

They are SO comfy and fit very well! I love the side zipper for easy on/off. :snap:

I went on a shoe spree. They're all comfort shoes and all of 'em black. I've got ground to cover this summer, you see. Here's what I got:

Add this first one to the list of things you can cry timber! over. Yes, it's an Earth Shoe and yes, I once swore I would never wear them.


This one is an Ecco. It's the perfect walking sandal and would do ultra well at the DLR, just sayin'.

Ah, the divineness of Merrells. I love this shoe. It won't look out of place in Paris or in a cave near Lascaux, two places I'll be.

I have a pair of those Merrells in brown and green.

Next time we rendezvous, we wear the Merrells? Shazzzam!

Here's some (potentially awful) news that concerns regulars of this thread:

Amazon's buying Zappos.

Well, I'm glad I just got my Zappos fix with FOUR new pairs of tennies, in glorious colors (well, 'cept I replaced my old grays that were getting nasty).

A person of the male persuasion with my diminuative foot size cannot hope to EVER find shoes at brick & mortar, and Zappos is (was?) my savior. I hope this does not change.


But, sigh, everything does.
