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.

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.

Ponine - I've never bought Sketchers before, I may have to stop in.

These are way cute but holy crap. I was thinking maybe 60 bucks

I can't imagine spending $100. (I was raised on Payless Shoes)

I looked it up - Off Broadway Shoes? I haven't been there before, I'll check it out.

I usually love DSW but I've been to them for this particular shoe need and they just don't have it at the moment.

What I am speaking of might not be snazzy enough for your new dress code.
I got a pair of these in a bone color

There's another chain like DSW isnt there? Famous or such?

Off Broadway Shoes is the store I was referring to in my post above. It's in the Tustin Marketplace. http://www.shopthemarketplace.com/St...id=1179&cid=38

Kohls has Sketchers for way less then the Sketchers store. Those shoes were $44 at Kohls last week.

I went on a shoe shopping spree at Kohls 2 weeks ago. They had quite a few shoes for $5.

OOOooooooOOOO....I did try them on at the Sketchers store and they were comfy but too much money. I'll hit Kohls soon, thanks!

No problem

I really like the ballet style shoes, but at the time Sightsee was the only style by Sketchers and I didn't like how it showed the start of my toes. I have Spokes in black, not super comfortable after a few hours. I don't recommend them. The other styles that are similar may be better though.

My mom has always worn *good* shoes and has bad feet problems now. Me? I wear what is comfortable. No feet problems either. But I'm still pretty young and there is pleanty of time for them to crop up.

I went into Payless last weekend to find some sandles. They were so cute cute but didn't fit me right. I wish they did, I hate paying $$ for shoes. Thats why the $5 clearance at Kohls made me so happy!

Well, you said you were getting ready to lay down some serious cash for good shoes.

Danskos are worth every hard-earned penny. I have 4 pairs. Granted, 2 of them need to go to shoe repair, but that's because I walk funny not because they're poor quality. My oldest pair I've had for about 6 years.

It can't hurt to go to Nordstrom's and try them on. They have lots of $60 shoes there, too.

$60 is already more than I've ever spent on shoes. I've slowly worked my way up to $40 pairs at DSW and I still cringe but buy them anyway.

People always say that Payless shoes don't fit them. I guess they were designed only for my feet. I still have an ancient pair that I kick around. They really don't make what I'm currently looking for though.

I've never had callouses or foot problems and I attribute that to my comfy shoe policy. I don't wear shoes made for Barbie because my feet aren't shaped like Barbie's. That horrified me as a child, btw.

I do wear medium heels, but not every day, and I never ever buy pointy toes that try to mold my feet. If my pinky is being pushed into my other toes, it's not for me.

Of course, it may just be a matter of time...

Anyway, after bunny shopping I'll hopefully have time for shoe shopping!
