Yup. $5 Kohls blow-out clearance. I can't even find them online so I took the photo myself.

Nice find, BTD! I haven't had time to hit Kohls lately.

Thanks! I think that was the end of them. Their summer shoes should be hitting clearance in a month or so.

I figured out their clearance system. It's yellow tagged at 70% then 80% then 90% and then red-tagged at $15, then $10 and finally 50% off the $10. Now just to figure out how often it happens. The Kohls guarding Costco has a ton of clothing on clearance still.

(This isn't snarky. I'm curious.) But what makes people buy lots and lots of shoes? To stay hip? For me it's about it lasting a long, long time. Not style. Who I am is my fashion. Shoes don't necessarily make me. ie. My New "Manolo" Balance running shoes.

For me: they're the one item of clothing I can buy that's likely to fit. I can walk into any shoe store and grab a size 8. For the most part, I don't have to deal with being a 6 in some manufacturers and a 12 in others. I can shop in the same store with everyone else, no short or fat issues. I don't have to take off my clothes to see if shoes fit. I don't have to wait in line for a dressing room and ponder whether they have cameras aimed into the changing rooms. I can express my mood through shoe selection.

If Prudence is wearing butt kicking catwoman leather boots with spiked heels... I'm heading for the hills, I don't want my butt kicked.

What she said.

Though I can't always buy the same size, it's easier to find a pair of shoes that fit than a shirt of pair of pants.

I am always looking for the elusive comfort along with style. I have such problems with my feet lately (years of cheap shoes) and I haven't quite figured out what I can wear for lengths of time, so I keep trying. Plus my feet feel better when I change shoes often.

"Style" is also important to me. I are fairly careful about putting an outfit together and I hate to have it ruined by the wrong shoes.


I am the Imelda Marcos of comfort shoes.

Ah, but the real gem is the elusive pair of comfortable fashionable shoes that cannot ruin any outfit.

I haven't found those yet.

[Not Afraid]

Me either, but I sure as hell keep trying!
