I love to go shoe shopping! I miss going to Puerto Rico to grab a good (or two) pairs of Italian sandals. There used to be this store there that was just fabulous!

I noticed I need shoes, like cute black shoes with no heel or very very limited heel. I want you to show me what are your favorite shoes (even if they are not black and flats... LOL!) <--- This girls just loves :heartslub her shoes!

I fell in love with:

I love shoes too. I mainly wear flip flops or wedges year round since I'm in Florida.
 
In not-winter, I'm almost always in these, or the navy ones that otherwise look exactly the same. :P

If it's too hot for socks, I have some sandals but I'm not the biggest fan of them. I should probably get some nicer ones.

For all my lace-up shoes, I use Lace Anchors. Love 'em.

I wish I could do sandals or flip flops all year around.

I love converse but they don't have enough support for work. I wish they had more support I would buy a red pair.

I would die on those after 30 mins! (They are gorgeous though)
 
I love Sketchers and have a few different pairs. They are comfy and well made. Here's one of the pairs I have.
 
I have red Converse (and also a brown plaid pair) as well as those Sketchers in both black and brown.

Clearly I have a problem.

I mostly live in my Orthaheel flip flops, though, because I'm old and they have arch support for my feet that I abuse badly. I have them in 3 colors (grey, brown and the pink shown here).

These are my most favorite shoes EVER. I bought a pair for my birthday a year and a half ago, wore them ALL. THE. TIME. I loved them so much I got two more pair. They're so comfy, but they're cute, too!

 
For work (when I actually did work... ha!) I lived in these. As a teacher, I was on my feet all day long and these saved me. They aren't the prettiest but they are full of support and are amazingly comfortable.

Nowadays, I live in flip flops or TOMS (in the summer... in the winter, I actually wear these clogs most of the time).

I would think that elastic would push into my skin.
 
oh dear ... please don't hate me but I HATE shoes :giggle, if I could get away with bare feet or slippers every day i would be happy haha
 
Dalis, those are Dansko clogs Tori posted. Danskos are lovely, but perhaps ironically (since the name is a portmanteau of the Danish for "Danish shoes") not available in Denmark. I did have some in the States, though.

I absolutely cannot handle flip flops. They kill my feet, not because of lack of arch support, but because my toes have to 'hold' them on. Perhaps it's because my toes are so short but it just blows my mind that anyone can wear them for more than about an hour and not want to throw them out. I can't STAND it.

Amanda, I went barefoot everywhere for a very long time. I eventually got tired of people asking me about it, but I totally understand hating shoes!

Lorry you are a woman after my own heart! I love that photo!

I spent 2 years in Papua New Guinea growing up and I very rarely wore shoes the entire time I was there! I didn't even wear them to school as most of the local children came to the Army base for schooling and they didn't have them so I couldn't see why I had to either lol. When we moved back to Australia I found having to wear shoes was a killer and i hated every minute! And to this day i would rather have bare feet than wear shoes :)
 
i have really bad foot problems (synovitis, neuroma, plantar) so i always say i'm the girl with the ugliest shoes in the room.

to work i wear these...
shopping


otherwise it's adidas sneakers (for the wide toe) or keen sandals again wide toe.
