    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.

    My current favourite word is: Sammidge!

    At least the holes are giving those old things some needed ventilation. :laugh:

      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 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...

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

              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.

                      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!!!

                            Ugly Nike shoes I only bought not to wear down my nice ones. These I use to work, nobody looks under my desk to see if my shoes are pretty. And I don't really care if they look, I only care when I'm looking for a girl.

                              Skechers Gators (sadly no longer made), like walking on pillows and are slip-ons. I regret being a snob about the choice of garish colors they had. I bought blue ones and then went online to order black ones. After finding how greate they were, I found they had also disappeared from the shelves and online. (sigh)

                                Unfortunately, since I have to be in the office, leather laceups. I wear Borns outside work - super comfortable. Those of you who have to go to the office, what do you wear?

                                  Doc Martin boots with 11 eyelets, steel toes and extra thick soles so they'll hopefully last more than a year of biking 42 miles each way every day. Altho it is looking likely they will last cause the bike's in the shop again and i don't have the cash to fix it and i'm not sure it's worth it if i did.
