If you've always heard that people notice your shoes, but don't feel that people notice your shoes enough, this is the most important ilx thread you will read this month.

This thread is way letting me down. :(

C or D: slumming with the jeans, shiny with the shoes.

Or is that the shoe-pants equivalent of the Hank Scorpio? I haven't left the house with this yet, so tell me now.

kenan, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 04:33 (seventeen years ago)

depends what kind of shirt you are wearing, doesn't it?

Rubyredd, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 04:41 (seventeen years ago)

nah. Shouldn't. A friend just pointed out to me, also, that the angle there is unrepresentative, because those are boots, and you can't even tell. Damn stupid trens with their long-ass pants...

kenan, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 04:45 (seventeen years ago)

ilx needs a whole Queer Eye board for this stuff.

Autumn Almanac, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 04:46 (seventeen years ago)

Kenan, you and I must be the world's only Linux users with contemporary footwear.

Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 13:20 (seventeen years ago)

This is all an elaborate ruse. Actually I only wear hemp shoes that are machine washable. And I carry my system76 laptop in my Timbuk2 bag.

kenan, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 16:11 (seventeen years ago)

Hush Puppies and Kmart trainers here.

Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 22:26 (seventeen years ago)

(damn, I cannot prove this)

Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 22:26 (seventeen years ago)

I have a pair of black shoes (leather w/velcro straps) by Merrell and they are the only shoes I have ever worn that haven't caused my bizarre-ass feet severe pain after 1+ hour of walking.

I need a pair of summer sandals and so I am asking for these. The only ones by this brand that aren't way 40-year-old or engineer looking. I am not sure how awesome I think they look. But, here they are:

Abbott, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 23:59 (seventeen years ago)

The little white trim (;_;) would get dirty in about a week and then I think they'd look okay.

Abbott, Thursday, 8 May 2008 00:00 (seventeen years ago)

(Asking for them for my birthday, lolz)

Abbott, Thursday, 8 May 2008 00:00 (seventeen years ago)

The thing about bright red shoes is, it's impossible to take yourself very seriously while wearing them. They add a certain lightness of being.

I love red sneaks, but I really hate how red suede looks when it gets dirty.

Abbott, Saturday, 10 May 2008 23:00 (seventeen years ago)

AND I CAN'T KEEP ANYTHING CLEAN

EVER

Abbott, Saturday, 10 May 2008 23:00 (seventeen years ago)

Your caps lock key seems to be stuck, maybe you should clean your keyb- ah. Nevermind.

Abbott, I think those sandals look great!

I will not contribute to this thread because my current total shoe wardrobe is functional and unattractive. Sigh. In September, I will go home and unpack my heels.

omg the red michael kors

rrrobyn, Monday, 12 May 2008 17:11 (seventeen years ago)

We'll split the Kors, I like the b&w striped pair.

Laurel, Monday, 12 May 2008 17:14 (seventeen years ago)

I love the idea of a pair of boots so in-de-frickin-structable that they could be as old as me.

kenan, Monday, 12 May 2008 17:19 (seventeen years ago)

haha Laurel when I scrolled past the b&w pair I assumed it was your post!

I DIED, Monday, 12 May 2008 18:08 (seventeen years ago)

It's like... YOU KNOW ME!

Laurel, Monday, 12 May 2008 18:11 (seventeen years ago)

On second thought: I hope the gold sandals disabused you of that notion.

Laurel, Monday, 12 May 2008 18:12 (seventeen years ago)

There are pros and cons to being as tall as I am, and a con is I can't wear heels without towering over many people.

Abbott, Monday, 12 May 2008 18:13 (seventeen years ago)

good picks, sunny

jergïns, Monday, 12 May 2008 18:17 (seventeen years ago)

abbott, you are tall???

assumption: shattered!

elmo argonaut, Monday, 12 May 2008 18:22 (seventeen years ago)

I am a little over 5'9".

Abbott, Monday, 12 May 2008 18:23 (seventeen years ago)

Abbott, wear the damned heels.

suzy, Monday, 12 May 2008 18:26 (seventeen years ago)

The worst shoes on ILX

Z S, Monday, 12 May 2008 19:57 (seventeen years ago)

haha

ohman all i want to do is buy shoes! even though i just bought a pair on thursday! i totally tortured myself yesterday by browsing paul smith shoes online

abbott you are 1.5" taller than me but when i put heels on that are higher than 2" tall i feel like super tall and pretend to stomp around like godzilla, but then i get over it and it's cool. but i've never owned a pair of heels over 2.5" tall so hm...

rrrobyn, Monday, 12 May 2008 20:15 (seventeen years ago)

Yes, I am a font of red shoes.

Surmounter, Tuesday, 13 May 2008 15:49 (seventeen years ago)

Surmounter, Tuesday, 13 May 2008 15:53 (seventeen years ago)

ill wear them out around the neighborhood - but really theyre slippers and dont have the soles for any serious walking

yah my tv and my entire apartment have been extremely dusty since they started making a restaurant on the ground floor of my building - its v gross and makes me angry - i cleaned the tv off a week ago - and thats a little :| face to illustrate my feelings of powerlessness before the dust

jhøshea, Tuesday, 13 May 2008 16:00 (seventeen years ago)

hahaha i thought as much. love it.

Surmounter, Tuesday, 13 May 2008 16:01 (seventeen years ago)

Mr. Que, Tuesday, 13 May 2008 16:02 (seventeen years ago)

Rubyredd, Tuesday, 13 May 2008 20:38 (seventeen years ago)

sunny successor, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 14:38 (seventeen years ago)

Hey SS, you're not alone. Here are my US size 10 beauties (;-)) in green patent leather peep toes.

ENBB, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 15:46 (seventeen years ago)

They're Sugar shoes. I wrecked them with house paint last weekend, as you can see on the right.

sunny successor, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 15:50 (seventeen years ago)

They're like smiling eyeless nuns with rainbows for mouths and clouds for cheeks and a thin red line in their veils!
