    If you ask a question about fashion at the place where geek boys hangout, you will just get confused answers. :-D And don't even expect that you will able to hear anything about any brand name... :)

      Just curious, what kind of shoes do you wear? (Since you guys are posting funny topics today like, who invented beer, What's your worst favorite movie, etc...why not ask about shoes?) ;P

      Shoes??? Shoes?:mad:? X| ? I know, I know, I do need new shoes. I'm wearing a pair past due for replacement. But that would mean - oh, horrors - going shoe shopping. I haven't done that in a long time and I really don't want to face it again. (I'll mention that a men's narrow is usually a B width or wider. I am a AA width.) Shoe shopping procedure: Phone first. Don't bother going to the store. They won't have my size. Refuse to divulge my shoe size on the phone:mad:. If I tell them my shoe size, the store will generally lie and say they have it. After all, I must be mistaken. If they say they have my size, they can get me to drive to their store and find out what my size "really" is. Instead, I ask them what the narrowest width they carry is. If there is a store that has my size, go to see the selection of 1 pair of shoes. Try them on to see if they really fit. Decide if I have to buy them, or can still get by with my old ones. After all, they are probably a pair of wing tips. Yes, I am shoe traumatized. I have Primary Traumatic Shoe Disorder. Yes, I was the kid in elementary school who wore wing tips. It was the only pair in the store that fit me. Yes, I was the kid in junior high who wore wing tips. It was the only pair in the store that fit me. Yes, I was the kid in high school who wore wing tips. It was the only pair in the store that fit me. Yes, I was the kid in college who wore wing tips. It was the only pair in the store that fit me. Now I have a policy. I do NOT wear wing tips. My shoes may be badly fitting and falling apart. They are always ill-cared for and ignored. But, they are not wing tips. SHOES!?!? DOWN WITH SHOES!

        A nice pair of walking boots. Green in colour (#556B2F), Suede. They're mighty comfy, with only a couple of minor draw backs; my feet get cold in them sometimes, and one of the tabs the laces wrap around has come off on one of the boots. Of course, when I'm not planning on going out I've got some nice* trainers. The soles have completely worn away on the outside, meaning you can poke your finger through. The inside of the thing has worn away meaning your feet actually touch the rubber on the bottom. They're absolutely filthy. Obviously, due to the holes they leak water. Feet still get cold. But they are like a second skin, I really need to replace them though, one day perhaps.

          I would guess that is short for "man purse". While you're at it, you should try on a bro (bra for a man).

            USD$16 tennis shoes. I need a new pair though, the shoes are falling apart and the treads on the bottom are worn out.

                  Is it just me, or has a post about shoes drawn more female replies than other posts? Just asking.

                    Wing tips, or rather brogues, were rather fasionable when I was in high school.

                        I wear what ever shoes happen to be on the top of the pile in my closet that morning. The range runs from steel-toed boots to running shoes, through nice Oxfords to bullhide Wellington cowboy boots. It doesn't matter if both come from the same pair - I rarely have time to look down, and couldn't care less what others see. I'm busy doing stuff...

                                New Balance 1123[^]. I've worn this shoe, and its predecessor models, for over ten years. And yes, I do wear it all the time. I run in the newest pair, the next older pair are my 'walking around' shoes, the ones after that are yard shoes, and if they have any life left, the last pair are used for resealing the driveway. After that, they're retired with full military honors by the local haz-mat team.

                                        Just curious, what kind of shoes do you wear? (Since you guys are posting funny topics today like, who invented beer, What's your worst favorite movie, etc...why not ask about shoes?) ;P

                                        I am, at this moment, wearing Jimmy Choo platform slingback peep toe pumps in camel. With an ivory wool pencil skirt and a cherry red three quarter sleeve ribbed cashmere turtleneck. I love dressing for work!!!

                                          Is it just me, or has a post about shoes drawn more female replies than other posts? Just asking.
