Cute shoes!
The boots are awesome.
FIVE pairs??? HAhahahahaha!
Amateurs.
Christian Loubitin peep-toes and black Monolo Klonics.
My wife has me brainwashed.
Sketcher shoes are a MUST item!
I actually own 2 of the 5.
The boots!
Where are the sneakers and comfy sandals?
I don’t do heels over 3”. And on any given weekday, it’s a good bet I’m wearin’ my ballet flats (or something similar) at work.
...if she wants to spend a ton of time and money at the orthopedist.
ELAINE: Why are you talking about my shoes?
GAIL: What?
ELAINE: My Botticelli shoes. You’ve been talking about my Botticelli shoes.
GAIL: What are you talking about?
*****************
KRAMER: She says she wants those shoes.
ELAINE: She wants my shoes? What kind of person is this?
1. Sneakers
2. Knee-High boots
3. Slippers
And that’s all I have. Although I hope to add a pair of Birkenstocks to the collection soon...

UGGS and Clark’s. Can’t live w/o either!
My mother worked at the home office for Joan and David for years. Periodically the Outlet Store would have sales on returns. She’d bring home pairs and pairs of shoes that she paid $3 for.

Well I have two of the five (the heels), I would much rather be barefoot though!
Anna knew she had to have some new shoes today, and Carlo had helped her try on every pair in the store. Carlo spoke wearily, “Well, that’s every pair of shoes in the place.”
“Oh, you must have one more pair...”
“No, not one more pair... Well, we have the cruel shoes, but no one would want...”
Anna interrupted, “Oh yes, let me see the cruel shoes!”
Carlo looked incredulous. “No Anna, you don’t understand, you see the cruel shoes are...”
“Get them!”
Carlo disappeared into the back room for a moment, then returned with an ordinary shoe box. He opened the lid and removed a hideous pair of black and white pumps. But these were not an ordinary pair of black and white pumps; both were left feet, one had aright angle turn with separate compartments that pointed the toes in impossible directions. The other shoe was six inches long and was curved inward like a rocking chair with a vise and razor blades to hold the foot in place.
Carlo spoke hesitantly, “... Now you see why... they’re not fit for humans...”
“Put them on me.”
“But...”
“Put them on me!”
Carlo knew all arguments were useless. He knelt down before her and forced the feet into the shoes.
The screams were incredible.
Anna crawled over to the mirror and held her bloody feet up where she could see.
“I like them.”
She paid Carlo and crawled out of the store into the street.
Later that day, Carlo was overheard saying to a new customer, “Well, that’s every shoe in the place. Unless, of course, you’d like to try the cruel shoes.”
what about penny loafers? sneakers (a/k/a tennis shoes)?
and slippers (if they count as shoes)
Dick Morris will love this article
I quit doing heels after college. It’s like I couldn’t wait to wear heels, and then a few years after I started I couldn’t stand them.
I would do most of those shoes, but cut the heel height.
However, you have to add a good pair of tennis shoes. I wish they would add cute shoes that are also okay for your feet.
Except for the boots, that would be about my shoe wardrobe.
Can you wear those under a “homeschool jumper”?
I am sooooo jealous. I love Joan and David shoes and have been at their outlet store in Everett many times.
I don’t think I’ve owned 5 pairs of shoes total over the past 6 or 7 years.
I guess I’m a traitor to my gender, but how about NONE OF THE ABOVE!
I’m a barefoot kinda girl....kick off the shoes when I get home and don’t put any on again until I leave the house.
If I didn’t have to meet with military brass in my job all the time, I’d probably try to go barefoot at work —but then, there are usually too many staples in the carpet to dare that....
Link forwarded to Mrs jimfree.
Every married woman should own a pair too!
You mean Manolo Blahnik ...
“You mean Manolo Blahnik ...”
whatever...(rolling eyes)
How are you going to know which ones to buy her if ya can’t spell it? :-D
the misspelling gets me off the hook
Christian Louboutin Ballerinette leather flats, $179.99.
Seven inch stiletto in red, Priceless.
I know-—
Five pairs?!?!
That’s just for Monday!
I actually have all of them.
Plus lots of slandals and flip flops for the rest of the time ;)
Mine too. Tennis shoes, riding boots, some sandals, and some kind of muck shoe I can clean stalls in without ruining the first three.
I don't go anywhere I could wear the heels at the link.
LOL! Exactly.
Have you seen the Zappos commercial where the sunshine and rainbows are coming out of the box? I swear that’s what happens when I open my Zappos boxes. ;-)
Something like this...
sw
I’m with you!
At current, however, I'm living in all my Danskos.
I've got happy feet. :)
You will be so sorry. Your other shoes will scream from the neglect. I've been wearing Birks well, um, since I was 18. Those, and my running shoes and my current fave rave collectibles - Danskos.
Fashion Horror Story: Invited as guests to one of the fanciest dining establishments in N Carolina. I had planned to wear my pointytoe black/white alligator pumps. Wore my Danskos in the car. Got to the place; made the snap decision to keep my Danskos on. We all strolled the huge and amazingly beautiful grounds of this Country club after dinner, I could've kept walking; the other female guests were all hankering to go back for a stiff drink and after a mere hobble or two on the grounds. I had factored in my silk black trousers would hide my "fashion gaffe" and it worked out just that way.
Tired out feet? Put on a pair of birks; the relief is palpable. You will so not regret having birks.
I’ll definitely have to get a pair now!
My other shoes will just have to learn to cope. ;-P
Your other shoes will occupy themselves in nice clean acid-free paper awaiting a mere beckon from you. Maybe, for years....
