New Shoes

Stan4dSteph · 05-17-2006, 07:57 AM

I went on a bit of a spree this past weekend and bought some new shoes.

From Marshall's:

Puma Sildre - I can't find the exact color of mine, but the upper is tan, the straps and Puma stripe are lilac, and the sole is brown

Merrell Barrado - Espresso. Really lightweight shoe, feels almost like I don't have anything on.

Got these at DSW:

Josef Seibel Maddie - in Velour/Dakota Rose/White. I couldn't resist the cuteness, plus they were a fantastic deal.

Teva Olowahu - I think the color I got is Tongs Lime. It's a light green patterned design.

Anyone else get some new, fashionable footwear?

I like those Merrells. I have no new shoes to share--the Dansko sandals I bought last summer are holding up very well, though.

I haven bought anything since Boston, when I got 2 pairs of Mephisto All Rouders - black and brown - which I haven't stopped wearing; and a cute pair of Uffizi flats with cool straps.

I'm thinking of getting the Mephistos in Green.

I love all of those shoes. Did you find the Clarks yet?

I would recommend against any Clarks with a black, suedeish insole, FWIW.

Since I'm in Chicago, I may have to take the L out to Wicker Park and the Fluvog store - since that seems to be the only place I buy shoes these days

This thread makes me want to spit small portions of saliva.

Cute shoes, Steph!

While we're on the topic, please help out a shoe retard.

I can't find anything for work. I want some cute summery shoes but they have to have a closed toe (f'n dress code). I can't wear standard pump-styles because my heel always slips out, and they can't be flipflop style. They must have a strap of some kind...

Yeah, these shoes don't exist.

I'm about ready to lay down serious cash for good shoes.

CP, there are also some tres cute ballet slipper style sketchers and keds right now.
One of the sketchers has a stap, one doesnt. Tennis shoe treads and girlie tops.

Thanks! You should go to the shoe outlet place in Tustin Marketplace. I'm flaking on the name right now. It's like my DSW. TONS of shoes, and you can try them on. You should be able to find something that fits into your parameters.
