Then I bought a pair of checkered Vans. This was the first shoe I'd wear quite literally with everything. On Sundays, I'd take off my Sunday shoes and slip into these for comfort. It almost became a habit: Ecco's to church, checkered Vans after. Now I just wear them with my gym shorts, basketball shoes in one hand.
About a year ago, I needed something to match my orange pants, so I became the proud owner of a pair of laceless Sperry's. You're supposed to wear boat shoes without socks, so I did. It was nice on my sock drawer, but not so nice on my heels, especially in the dry Utah weather. Now, I almost only wear them when I'm trying to dress-down my church attire.
My latest shoe is a pair of Treetorns. They're super comfortable. If you look closely, you can even see the texture of the "Swedish Massage Teknology" in the insole. This is truly the pinacle of shoes in terms of comfort, style, and wearability.
I wonder what I'll get next. Something classic? Something trendy? Something super expensive?

ReplyDeleteWingtips (This is a handsome pair: http://www.colehaan.com/colehaan/catalog/product.jsp?catId=100&productId=528744&productGroup=528743.) make me go weak in the knees, but there is nothing quite like a cool pair of high-top Chuck Taylors. :)
ReplyDeleteOh man. I would like a nice pair of wingtips, and I've actually been looking around for some dress shoes. Unfortunately, those you posted are nearly $300. Fortunately, they don't come in my size :)
DeleteHa! Well, they gave a good idea of what I like. :)
DeleteWhat you should do is take that $300 and put it toward a trip to Italy, where you would hire someone to make lots of beautiful shoes that fit your feet perfectly. Maybe start a shoe savings account . . . By the end of a couple of years, you can just splurge and not feel guilty! :)
