What is your most favorite pair of shoes ever? Explain.

I'm definitely a shoe girl, and though I have a lot of shoes, my favorites - despite the fact that I don't wear them the most often - are definitely all heels. A comfortable, sexy pair of shoes that can add 5 inches to my height? I think so.



My absolute favorite that I own is the above pair of Steve Maddens bought for me by a guy with a foot fetish who I met whist out shopping (browsing, really - I can't even afford to shop at Steve Madden right now). They're easy to walk in, comfortable enough to wear for hours and do wonders for my butt. Aside from that, they're one of the few things I can wear that mean that I don't have to stand on tip toes when kissing my partner - I have a size 5.5-6 foot, so anything with a spread of more than 4.5 inches begins to get a little ridiculous, but these give me about a 6 inch boost in height because of the platform. On top of that, I /hate/ feet, so every time I see them, I get reminded that my feet are sexy enough to have caused a foot fetishist to have dropped $180 on me out of nowhere. It's really a win-win-win-win sort of situation.

As for shoes that I don't own, I could never pick a favorite. It was hard even picking a favorite out of the ones that I /do/ own. There are a ton of gorgeous and original shoes out there, and since I haven't tried all of them on to know whether they're comfy or not (sky high heels are an absolute yes in my book, but only if I could see myself wearing them for 8 hours a day), I wouldn't be able to narrow it down based only on aesthetics.

I get a lot of pain from the arch support in shoes as well, and my high-arched mother doesn't believe me when I say that shoes with no or low arches are more comfortable! I recently had custom made orthotics done through my chiropractor after beginning a job where I was on my feet all day, and they're light years more comfortable than the inserts that I had to wear as a kid to try and "cure" my low arches. I liked my chiropractor much better than my physiotherapist, though I had to stop seeing her (and my massage therapist - I'm a bit of a wreck) when my parents insurance stopped covering me. Hopefully I'll be going back to school soon and can once again get my prescriptions covered. =)

Those are so gorgeous! I won this pair

in a competition, and they're my absolute favorite sexy librarian shoes ever. I used to love wearing them to work there and always thought that it was such a shame that I worked in the kids department, because with a skirt, they'd have been super fun to wear when tidying shelves and such.

Yours have such a classy, retro feel to them, especially with the color scheme!

I just went to order a second pair of the cuban heels off of here, but they went out of stock before I could get them! I'm notoriously hard on stockings, so I know that I'm going to do damage to the pair that I have before long, and I just adore the sexy, pin-up look. Because of the fact that they can be worn so casually, they're so much sexier to me than the blatant stripper heel (which isn't to say that I don't have a few of those too, I just wouldn't wear them to work).

Mrs. Hellzapoppin, can you clone everything in your wardrobe for me in my size? Sometimes I get the feeling that you are the most fabulous person in the world, and I would be perfectly content to mooch off of your sense of style.

Sometimes I'm jealous that I can't wear men's shoes because my feet are too small - I find myself drawn to a lot of the skater brands, but they usually don't go smaller than a men's five and I'd still be swimming in that. That being said, It'd probably be just as tricky for me to shop for shoes in a size ten or eleven as a size five or six, so that would be a pain.
