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? |
me too!!
i like the vicki and the violette the best. and now wish i had disposable income for shoes. *cry*
Posted by: alicia at March 25, 2005 07:51 PMtoo many choices -- thought we were doing bags today. arrrg my eyes are glazing over from the footwear.
Posted by: blackbird at March 25, 2005 08:14 PMAs a big girl with wide feet, I cannot say ENOUGH about Clarks.
They rule.
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...
Posted by: shayne at March 26, 2005 08:18 AMi 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.
Posted by: christa at March 26, 2005 02:17 PMFirst, 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,
J-
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 :-)
Posted by: Ann at March 30, 2005 09:53 AMwell, 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.
