Shoes!?! ... and other accessories

[Denali]

So just spent $$$ on new clothing for our two upcoming trips.... and to think there was a time I wore whatever was daggy and comfortable and that included Crocs.

AFF has changed my ways.

There is nothing wrong with Crocs ! I have about 8 pairs - and I always take a pair travelling. Great for beach/cruising/asia and you can wash them !

Unfortunately those styles of shoes do not fit me well and I find that I can't keep them on. I have a small foot but quite wide so need something to do up across the foot.

Women seem to love shoes and handbags while many men are happy to have a beer in their hand with spares nearby.

Read the book "Shoe Money" and you will understand life and women much better.

Yes, if all the comments are true - they are very comfortable shoes so should be good for a trip ! If you get a pair I will be interested to see how they go. I emailed the company to ask them the heel height as I cant wear flat shoes, I usually wear a wedge now since I broke my ankle.

I thought it was spare CCs in your case

I have seven credit card and loyalty wallets so I only have one card application in progress at the moment.
I never bothered with CBA nor NAB cards as Mrscove wants me to start simplifying our lives.
I thought I could do that and then......

A beer in one hand and a fishing rod in the other.

I like a couple of the styles. Two questions: what's the blister quotient, and is there anything in the way of arch support (this is my biggest issue with shoes - hate wearing my orthotics in anything other than a sneaker or boot, but need (so very badly) decent arch support).

To understand how you logically need 2 pairs of shoes, possibly 3 pairs, but purchase a pair of shoes to match each outfit in the wardrobe?

I cant recall ever getting a blister from the Crocs ! As to arch support - there is none. I prefer the low wedge styles.

Oh JohnK - you would have a conniption if you saw my walk-in robe - I stopped counting shoes at 65 :shock:

Clearly there is no way to explain this to you if you are asking that question.

But aside from that, the editor of Vogue only has one style of shoes in the same colour - mind you, they are rather speshul!

"The fashionable editor-in-chief rarely mixes up her footwear, as can be seen in photos from the past two decades.
Designer Manolo Blahnik custom-makes her shoes after taking a mold of her foot, so she gets the perfect fit.
She favors a nude, low-heeled slingback sandal with only slight variations"

Oh JohnK - you would have a conniption if you saw my walk-in robe - I stopped counting shoes at 65 :shock:

Where did you lose it?

No, you don't understand the concept of Shoe Money.
