What kind of shoes do you have on today?
Me.....black Skechers. I have had these for about a year. They look a little ragged but I work in a manufacturing environment and they are excellent for trudging through the plant..


You?

6. Lands End sandals
passed on to me by a friend who couldn't wear them -- fit like a glove and good for working in the yard, too. They're the only shoe, other than my running shoes, that don't aggravate my plantar fasciitis.

37. I'm hoping they won't be
I got an email once from where I buy them and they said to get them now because they will be discontinued. They are pretty expensive, so I didn't go and order 10 pair..lol. I should though. I've been wearing them for years and they are the most comfortable shoe that I have ever owned.

29. At the moment
I'm wearing my 'summer shoes':



because they're easy on, easy off.

And, as soon as I get back downstairs to my ball game, they'll be off again until I have to go to work...

44. Black New Balance
They pass as dress shoes quite easily, but they're cross-trainers. I refuse to wear uncomfortable dress shoes, and good luck to me to find non-leather, animal-free ones.

54. Do you Acorn slipper lovers know about this place?
I have been wanting slipper socks, and Acorn makes them, too, however I thought I'd sew some leather soles on some ragg socks after I saw the price at the shoe store!
My cousin and some friends order stuff from Sierra Traders a lot- it looks like a good place to buy all kinds of Acorn slippers-

57. These really great beige sandals
from Zappos in just my size, which is hard to get (10.5 Wide) and the inside has leeetle tiny holes and like bumps that make them so comfortable for big ladies in hot weather. Not bad looking, either. The part across the foot is woven leather.
