I LOVE shoes!! Right now my fav pairs are my pink ballet/ chinese slipper style shoes they are SO pretty! also love my new black pointy heels, and I have an outrageuosuly expensive pair of sneakers I love wearing too, they are very comfy and very cool.
I love wearing sandals.... I hate the fact that 6 months a year it's too cold to wear them here... I really need to move to Arizona!
I feel ya there! I wish I could wear them all year round here too. Unfortunately I got bad news, Arizona is not always warm enough either. They have their cold months, and their weather is often cooler than HERE! And at night I've been told you have to bundle up, even in the summer.
Bree and Cerrwiden, I wear sandals about 330 days a year in Colorado. Get some nice polar fleece/wool blend socks! The only marker for me is water or snow above the ankle. in water, skip the socks until you are inside (cold wet socks are a taste of hell.)
i wear my wal-mart birkenstock wanna-bes when i have shoes on. they are fallin apart but HEY they are comfy...
nothin much better than birks... occasionaly, (i just had a moment when you spell a word three hundred different ways and nothing looks right, so ignore spelling) i'll go with socks
i have this pair of Gravis flip flops that i've been wearing every semi-warm day for 3-4 years. they're awesome! sooooo comfortable. they're getting beat to shit though and this spring, during a drunken brawl, they were broken in some unexplainable way. the little thing that goes between your toes ended up being ripped out. so i super glued them back together and have been wearing them ever since (with the exception of 4 or 5 days). they're so wonderful, but alas, are getting that permanent foot stink that no water, soap or sun can wash away. and, yes, i've even tried bleach. so, anyway, i'm looking forward to getting my new rope sandals in the mail. hopefully they will serve me as well as my flip flops have.....and they will be machine washable! yay!!!!!!!
I either pimp out the Chaco z3's, some New Balance:101's, 597's, 991's, and another version i cant remember, or my 79 cent flip flops. But the Chacos are the most used, i have used them for a year and there still in great condition. the only vice against them is that they wont stay tight for some reason. not that there like floppin around but there not like snugg, idk oh well
I go barefoot just about everywhere. I think of my bare feet as the shoes Nature gave me. I own one pair of shoes, and they are soft casuals that I only use for formal activities. My feet are much healthier now since I gave up shoes.
I keep barefoot 99% of my free time. When I have to wear shoes because I'm going somewhere that is run by ignorant people who think they need to tell me I can't manage to go barefoot there, I wear the minimum -- a pair of decent quality Reef flip-flops. These are also what I wear to work. I never wear sneakers anymore unless it's to play tennis, which is rare these days. My feet are so used to being free now, they hate being in any kind of closed shoes. Me and my feet are better for staying bare now. Blue skies, -Jeffrey
I prefer sandals, so free yet protected. I wear sandals in the winter too. Barefoot is nice when the surface is soft, like grass or sand.
I wear me lovely rope sandals! They are amazing! I had some for 2 years & loved them so much I started selling them ( lots of people asked me about them) so I thought HEY I will sell them!They are soo light and mold to my feet! I have 2 pair now & both are 3-4 years old!! But since you can wash them they stay pretty clean!
