Okay, my most expensive pair of shoes are a pair of knee high black leather boots from New York, which I got for $185 on sale cos they were sample sized and no one else would buy them! But as a woman, this is a small price to pay to own what I have affectionately deemed as 'Franken-Hooker' boots (they look like is Frankenstein was a woman and a hooker like what he would wear).
My everyday shoes though are a pair of New Balance 470 or 485's. Those I got for like $25 a pair on clearance. I buy a lot of shoes on clearance where I can.
OMG this just became the shoe-thread. Or would it be more appropriate to call it the shoe-string???
MM vomit cleaning weekend, gonna say I would pass on that. I got a new TV and went and saw Walk the Line (which was really really good for all you cash fans out there, and even non-Cash fans).

yey, shoe talk!
I have huge feet, but then i'm tall so they fit me, I'm an english size seven, so i think that make a nine or ten or something in america? huge feet, so I initially always stayed away from pointy toes and went for cute little retro round toes, and then a couple of years ago i found the most gorgeous pair of soft soft soft italian leather ones with a short neat little points and was hooked, I wore those shoes to death, if theyed had more pairs i would have bought them all as they were only a fiver (approx $9 i think)
the thing is even though they are longer they really slim and flatter the feet, and they peek out from under the hems of skirts and jeans and look really good, really delicate (which when you are my size, is really desirable) so give them a go, you wont look back!
yes, its an unhealthy obsession, but whats fun that isn't?
as for weeding out the bad boys, i think we'd need to start talking about underwear...

Italian shoes are the way to go for us boat-footed women. Oh, take me back to the street markets in Florence!!

Italian women must all have big feet, the shoes there somehow look good even in size 10! And they have really good band aid technology (wicked high heels + cobble stones + all out model walk = superior band aid required)

That could go either way, depending on the type of underwear you're talking about.

In Egypt they actualyl repaved one of the temples because the Italian women with thier fancy shoes were falling and breaking their ankles on the uneven stones. Isn't that ridiculous?? So apparently those Italian ladies aren't as sure on their feet as we supposed.
I love a really good high stiletto heel. There is something insanely attractive about it. Or maybe I just think there is.
My mother has size 9 feet and she always wears pointy toed shoes and they look fabulous. But they have to be narrow.
Also if I wear the rounded toe shoes (which I love cos I have a thing for retro anything) I honestly look like I am one of those Chinese ladies with the bound feet. it's hi-larious.
