Inspired by purses-- let's talk "baddest" shoes!

When I was in college (and had a LOT more discretionary income--you know, before rent, 2 car payments, school loans, etc.), I actually spent $285 on a pair of Donald J. Pliner black boots that come slightly above the ankle. I take good care of those and still wear them! Now most of my shoes are pretty cheap.

Snoopy, those shoes are just darling. Love them.
And I won't tell your husband if you do not tell mine how much the turquoise Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes really cost

Shoes and purses
I have a ton of shoes. Most are pretty cheap ones. MOst expensive shoes I have ever bought were probably about 100 bucks. NIce pair of leather boots. Still have them and still wear them sometimes.
I have birks too. love the way they feel. Usually buy reebok walking shoes. Just bought a pair of Teva sandals for about 40 bucks before vacation (new favorite Disney shoes!). I go for comfort and heels don't do it for me (although those shoes are Darling snoopy!). I like slip on fairly casual shoes.

hope I don't find a pair of shoes I 'just have to have'.....

I just spent 40.00 on a pair of slides at Bass Pro Shops. Does that count? I never heard of Farragamo until the OJ Simpson case....now he lives not too far from me.

I have gotten to the point where I can only wear good quality shoes- my feet really stretched and I have nerve damage in them from when I was pregnant. That being said, I almost solely stick to Clarks now; I probably have 6-8 pairs, ranging from $40 on sale to $80. I have New Balance sneakers and another pair of just kind of Keds shoes, but they're not Keds...some spendier brand with better support. My arches are very high, my feet are wide and big, so I cannot just go into even my regular department store to get what I need..I have to go to Nordstrom, or Nordstrom Rack, or the actual Clarks store. Sometimes I can find something good at the outlets, but being a stinking size 11 limits the selection. I swear, if I could go back to my size 9 1/2 shoe, medium, that I was before I had my kids, I would not complain about the 25 pounds that I have kept on since I had them!!! Deep down I know I can change my weight, but my shoe size is here to stay.
