I'm a bit disillusioned.

Obviously not if I'm wearing them.

I had a pair of Gibson Swirls in burgundy for awhile. I was not visited by Satan once while wearing them. I'm lucky to actually have a Fluevog store here, but it is all the way down on second, which isn't exactly the nice part of town. I should arrange a trip to the market soon and stop by.

I need these shoes.

Here are two of my $5 shoe finds

Matterhorn Fan · 05-23-2006, 05:02 PM

I love the first pair.

Are those from Kohls? I was at Kohls recently and found nothing. Granted, I generally don't look at anything with heels.

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.

Some of it is, it's easier to buy shoes than pants. Some of it is, "they're $5, they fit, they're cute, I can't not buy them!" and I really don't have a lot of dress shoes. Or shoes, for that matter.

But the harder question is, what to do with shoes I never wear but are too ratty to be donated. I've got tennies stashed in my car and in my emergency kit already, and I'd feel bad (not sure why) for throwing those away.
