Women(?) and Shoes...

<p>In tribute to all the discussions of women’s shoes and women, plus shoes…(caution - strong language and images)</p>

<p>My girls have been infecting the entire family with the lyrics from this piece all through the holidays. Enjoy! :)</p>

<p>Ummm…the cleaned up lyrics.</p>

<p>Thank you… just, thank you.</p>

<p>Oh lord, this has really been making the rounds</p>

<p>D2 and I just got back from…shoe shopping! Sadly, the female locusts had descended before we got there. It was one day only, 50% off the reduced price. There wasn’t much left and what was there was scattered all over the place. Man, I don’t know why we shop for shoes so much, or buy so many. Has anyone ever studied this? Men can’t have enough electronics. We can’t have enough shoes.</p>

5

<p>Now I’m going to browse on zappos.com. Anyone ever use them?</p>

6

<p>I love Zappos. They seem to have some of the lowest prices around, plus free shipping, and even return shipping if needed. They also have reviews. (a reason I do almost all my online shopping on Amazon)</p>

7

<p>never done the zappos thing but I do shoes.com. Have had good luck even when I had to return some because they didn’t fit…</p>

<p>Am I the only woman not obsessed with shoes???</p>

<p>I own one pair of sneakers (on their last legs) and a pair of sandals for the summer. I wear a pair of Doc Martens (purchased while I was still in high school) for special occasions and have a few more pairs of dressy shoes for when I absolutely need them.</p>

9

<p>omg! Let’s get some shoes!!! :)</p>

10

<p>You have to ask why women buy so many shoes?</p>

<p>Shoes always fit :)</p>

11

<p>I have always felt guilty about how much pairs of shoes I own, but today (at a New Year’s party) a friend of mine was telling me that she was just done organizing her shoes over the holiday break. She owns more than a hundred pair!!! Whoa! and I thought I was bad.</p>

12

<p>Before we reach critical mass on inciting mass shoe shopping and shoe-type confessions, this was just meant to be funny. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>I don’t need a bunch of retail shoe outlet owners emailing me… ;)</p>

13

<p>Shoes are sexy. Even my lavender UGG boots! ;)</p>

14

<p>“Shoes always fit”</p>

<p>Yeah, right–maybe for women. I’ve used Zappos and enjoyed it. Also onlineshoes.com. I wear size 15 and it’s tough finding that size in stores (oddly, wore size 12 when I went in the Navy at age 23; have mysteriously grown 3 full sizes since then).</p>

<p>The show “Sex and the City” seems to have made an entire generation think that zest for shoes = zest for life.</p>

15

<p>

I don’t watch that show, but I have independently come to the conclusion that a passion for good food = passion for life! ;)</p>

<p>Luckily, my oldest D and I both wear a size 6 or 6.5 and can (and do) share shoes all the time! :slight_smile: That’s one way to double your number of shoes! </p>

<p>shoes…sigh…shoes</p>

<p>and chocolate</p>

<p>I LOVE shoes…they make me happy…I just wish i had more places to wear my heels…my Ds share shoes…but when one goes to college…egad…</p>

<p>there is a website that sorts shoes by kind and by COLOR…zirvana…every purple shoe you can imagine on one page</p>

<p>my Hs shoes…every pair is black…dullsville</p>

<p>Warning: those shoes you buy today may not fit tomorrow! Feet grow as you age just like waistlines.</p>

<p>“Feet grow as you age just like waistlines.”</p>

<p>Too bad everything doesn’t grow.</p>

<p>I bought two new pair of Michael Kors a couple of weeks ago, and I have been very pleased with them - so much so that I was certain they are worth what I paid, which was slightly more than, well, my mortage and new car payment combined. </p>

<p>Then, I happened into DSW last week, huge sale, and found three pair of Steve Maddens for $9.00 each. I’m not kidding. $90 shoes - leather high heels - marked down and down and down - like 50% off, then another 50% and then some other sort of discount - until they were $9.00 a pair. I haven’t paid $9.00/pair for business dress shoes in my life. I still cannot believe it. Surely the management at that particular store made some sort of major mistake. Now the Michael Kors doesn’t seem like such a wise decision…</p>
