 caution: highly suggestible

consarnit!

zappos has now become an official addiction, and my brain has gotten stuck in spring shoe mode. nothing else can be accomplished until i've gotten your opinions on the following:






sofft geneva
$88.95

i love these sooo much. the heel is about the height i prefer these days, and i really like the knotted detailing on top. i would hope the color might be a little more rich in real life.




clarks dade
$75.95

are these too cutesy with the embossed doo-dads on the leather? i like the green a lot, but wish the heel were higher.




clarks sarong
$75.95

this may feel a little more "dressed up" than i'm shopping for right now. all of the colors available in this style seem really bright, too. hmm...




clarks garland
$75.95

the heel seems clunky compared to the previous few, but i really like this color blue. (that rhymed.) i'm excited that there are so many pairs of clarks on this list... i've never owned a pair. (i have never seen this many cute clarks in wide-widths before, i don't think.)




sofft violette
$85.95

heart heart heart!! this may be a little too girly for me (i'm not really the girliest girl you'll ever meet) but ohmygosh these are almost cuter than roxi.




sofft melody
$80.95

these seem utterly perfect for me. i love the detailing, they're not overly girly, they seem practical. i do wish they had a little more of a heel, but i think i might be able to deal. the last pair of soffts i tried on fit so incredibly well, maybe i won't miss the heel. (if the shoes are too flat, without enough arch support, my back starts to hurt really badly.)




softwalk ferndale
$104.95 (ouch)

girl. ee.




hush puppies charlize
$65.95

i have a pair of hush puppies that are very much like this (last season's style), but they are actually too wide. these would make a good replacement, and i already know how comfortable they are. these are probably going to make the short list, just for practicality's sake.




rockport vicki
$70.95

drool literally came out of my mouth when i saw these. i've never had any rockports before, either. i like that they're cute & girly, but have a butch heel/sole. they are very interesting-looking.




rockport graham
$65.95

eh. i have some flip-flops similar to this, but not in orange. me likey orange.




rockport pollard bay
$65.95

ditto the above. i don't have any pink shoes. but there we go again with the girly thing...




rockport briza
$65.95

let's mark these off the list right now, ok? i mean, they're fine, but i already know there are at least 3 or 4 other pairs i like better than this.




clarks elite
$63.95

and here are the requisite "serious summer" shoes... because we can't go play at the beach every day.




clarks carina
$75.95

i mean, really... who on earth would prefer to wear these over green and pink shoes?? but sometimes you've gotta be conservative. right? sometimes you do?

too many choices -- thought we were doing bags today. arrrg my eyes are glazing over from the footwear.

As a big girl with wide feet, I cannot say ENOUGH about Clarks.
They rule.

Posted by: Gidge at March 25, 2005 08:19 PM

the vicki and the clarks dade are my faves. I have a thing for green these days. Clarks are very comfortable. I just bought two pairs of cute sneakers - now I want sandals...

i tried on a pair of the clarks dade at SRI last night. they didn't have any wide widths in stock, but i liked how they looked enough that i may try guessing a size through zappos. BUT i think i like the vicki's more, if i'm going to do a green shoe.

First, I am going to try NOT to post more than once this time.

Second, as a GAY man, my first inclination was to say, "Buy them all!"

Third, as a reasonable person who is GAY, I would ask, "Which one matches with most of your existing outfits?"

Finally, the blue ones will look stange with blue jeans. If you wear jeans a lot, best to buy a color other than blue.

Wishing I could get Divaville in Israel,

stange=strange
I tried!

my faves: sarong, violette & vicki...

Posted by: joy at March 26, 2005 04:34 PM

ooh, the sofft violettes all the way. Nice color, the heel height you're looking for, and it's not like they're girlie/flowery cause they're leaves! Go get 'em :-)

well, today i ordered the sofft melodys... but they were sold out of the rockport vickis!! boo hoo! i'm going to have to scavenge other shoe sites and see if i can find a pair anywhere else.
