I admit, I have a shoe fetish. High heels and boots mostly. I actually wear these so much that I would feel more comfortable and balanced in a pair of stilletos than in a pair of old sneakers (eeyuw). Odd, possibly, but I can't be alone here, am I? Hello? Anyone out there?

I don't really care about my shoes. I wear some size 14 Vans slip ons. One has a hole the size I can fit my fist through, but they're so comfortable I can't stand to give them up.
i love shopping for shoes. the problem is though, that i almost always buy shoes that are $40+ and shoes that expensive are hard to get my hands at. i have old vans skater shoes for lazy days, a bunch of tennis/athletic shoes for when i'm gonna do something physical, and a bunch of casual shoes that i wear to just about anywhere. shoes are cool.

$40 is expensive? I was excited when I found my Puma's for only $88...those were difficult to find at the time around my area. They kinda died out for a while and have only recently started to make it back into the stores. God bless Nordstrom's and Niemen's.

I wear a $200 pair of Birkenstocks everywhere... nice dress shoes.... for kickball, school, yard word, and prom..... other than that, every once in a while I kick into a socks w/ sandals phase and those lasts a while; big thick green socks and a pair of Moses-sandals....
I like shoes ^o^ For as horrid as my balance is, I can walk well in almost any kind of shoe. Though, when it comes down to it, I tend to put on my black Vans or my Euro sandals. I need to get a nice pair of boots, though...

I have a question for you, i've been asking every girl I come across for an answer.
What is the difference between high heels and stilleto's? is it just that stilleto's are a brand name or is it that the heel has a triangular shape (as the word stilleto refers to a triangle)?
Being the swimmer that I am... Sandels and flip flops dominate my closet. I also have two pairs of vans, 2 pairs of adidas shell toes(baby blue and black), 4 pairs of K swiss, a pair of steel toed boots, and 3 pairs of dress up shoes. I also have like 5 pairs of house shoes.
As my girl friend tells me, I have an absurdly large collection of shoes for a guy...

it is expensive when you buy an average of one or two shoes every week or so. but i make it a rule not to buy shoes over $150.

Basketball shoes. I love them.
My favorite pair:

fortunately, my fetish has changed from ridiculous obsession to a more...sane thing. that period of time where i went shoe crazy lasted less than two months.

Well for the first time in 7 years I actually own more than one pair of shoes. All I know is one pair is red, white and black and the other is white. I also own ski boots, skates, roller blades and of course winter boots as well, not to mention snow shoes. So I guess you could say I have a sports foot apparell fetish.

Stilletos are very skinny heels, called Stilletos after the name of a type of daggar.

I hate shoes. Seriously, if I had may way (and it were practical) I'd go barefoot everywhere. My shoes cost like 20 bucks and they tend to last me years, but that's because in the summer I do tend to go barefoot or in sandals and in the winter I wear boots. I can't understand why someone would want to pay over a hundred bucks for a pair of friggen shoes, but then I waste money on equally frivolous things so who am I to talk...

oooh I like really sexy strappy shoes! or like platform boots are so sexy!! lol. I love shoes I tend to buy really non practical shoes when i go shoe shopping and it leaves me with only heels and funky shoes that don't work for just going to school >.< lol. I'm not a smart buyer...at all..

I must have been a stripper in my past life, because I can walk, run, and dance in ANYTHING. I have a few pairs of six and seven inch platform fetish boots and shoes that I have wandered around san francisco in at three in the morning drunk and half asleep. I can't go into a shoe store without buying a pair of shoes, and I constantly have to stop myself from ordering new shoes online. I too have a shoe fetish. I also love socks. I spend gobs of money on them.
The weird thing is that I HATE feet.
yeah well, feet are something you really hate or dont care too much about...unless you're that jojo guy on the radio (kiis fm).

The weird thing is that I HATE feet.
Maybe you buy the shoes to cover your feet, so it might not me that weird after all...?
I just wear whatever's comfortable. I usually wear a pair of Nike basketball shoes that I must have bought 4 or 5 years ago or so. I've never had shoes that have lasted me this long. Best bloody shoes I've ever bought. :)

It's horrible to find shoes I really want and have no money! Stupid college! Stupid car payments! They were purple and strappy and beautiful and only $40! *sigh*
Then of course no one I know has any understanding of my obsession so I'm constantly persecuted for my foot fashion. D$#! sneaker nazis. Trying to stifle me! :suspiciou

hey whatever walks for you
ooh! my typo became a horrible pun!
I don't have a shoe fetish (now hakama, gi (martial art) tops, loose shirts, big red scarfs, and miniskirts is a different story)
and if I liked glass and crap on my feet I might not be wearing them now
though I wear my shoes out until THE END (i'm talking mouth, pen marks, stank, the works)
I wear sandals most of the time, even in the winter. Winters here aren't as bad, and my feet have gotten so used to it that it's not a problem at all. For church and special stuff, I have dress shoes, and the rest of the time, it's a pair of blue Nike Monster Shox.

My toes have crooked bones that look really weird, its useful because i can grip with my bare feet better, but quite.....odd looking.
Needless to say, feet have always been a turn off to me because of this.

No, he likes them a lot, I think. I'm more worried about why he's putting his shoes in his mouth.
I love my Chuck Taylors. Comfortable and stylish as hell. Oh yeah.

all the time
in fact, if you find a time when I'm NOT wearing a miniskirt
I'd have to kill you
and then use your skull as a cereal bowl and you arm and hand as a backscratcher
if you don't know already, I was being sarcastic
I was talking about fetishes('cause the first post talked about a shoe fetsh)
when I see a girl in a skirt my mind wanders
hence, that little mini list thing, was about when I see GIRLS in them
geez, I never thought that would be one of the responses to my bizare statement

On a different note:
Skate shoes are the most comfortable shoes ever. I don't Skateboard, haven't since I was 11, but really anyone could appreciate the level of comfiness found in a good skateshoe. They feel like they're giving your feet a hug.
Saya-biki
04-20-2005, 12:43 PM
indeed they are
I can't skateboard for my life but my Red and Black Adios are awesome
also I want a pair of the Shinsengumi Air Sabakus (which are skating shoes believe it or not) but I only seen them on ebay :(

I wear brown leather mid-height boots everywhere. My mammoth feet make shoe shopping for fashion prohibitive.

Haha Saya-biki wears mini skirts!!! What else do you feel like sharing?
well letsee
I also enjoy dressing up as a Japanese schoolgirl with cute little pink panties and running around yelling "SUGOI! SUGOI! KAWAII!"
and then I run into the street and flash passerbyers with my cute undies
also sometimes I put on my sisters clothes and dance
and let me state it again so there's no confusion this time...

I'm just happy to see the black wing-tips and cap-toes I used to alternate day to day gathering a healthy layer of dust in the closet with their shoe-trees.
White Reeboks from now on....
my average shoe price....... 90-120 dollars

Shoes... What are they again? Haha, just kidding. I don't like shoes much. I have Vans slip ons that are really worn, a pair of high top converse that are really worn, a pair of boots that are scuffed, and some flip flops.

I normally use one of two brands: For casual or tennis shoes, I always go straight to Sketcher's. These guys last me quite longer than they should (considering I used to burn through shoes as if they were made of paper), and I can usually find a decently priced shoe.
For more formal (dressy casual to formal) attire, I am Clark's slave. Seriously. I don't even see other brands. I always keep a black and a brown pair of leather loafers from these guys.

Skechers and Nike. My old Nike's lasted 3 yrs each, and my current Skechers is 2 years old and still not worn out. School shoes, I go with Otto or Rusty Lopez, but generally they're not really a prob coz Marikina makes awesome genuine leather shoes for a fair price.

Now, I regularly wear 3 pairs of shoes.
A big Vans for super comfy wear, whenever I'm in a hurry or just feel like wondering around.
K-Swiss tennis shoes for (duh) playing tennis or most other sports.
Brown Converse casuals for casual wear. Very nice.
Shoes are great.

Usually I go for only two brands: Nike and Converse. Nike is for cross-training; Converse for casual outings. However, I've been having doubts about selecting Nike shoes in the futures because, I don't know why, but all my old Nike shoes were disposed for the same reason - all their soles were torn apart. Seems to me their soles are left much to be desired O_o

I have a thing for sheos too. :3 Shoe shopping is really nice because unlike your body, your feet will most likely stay the same size for the rest of your life after you've stopped growing. Still, I've kept my busying impulses in check when it comes to shoes so I really have little to no fear being addicted to buying them as some people I know IRL. :p
My most used pair of shoes nowadays are my pink and brown Chucks, but I've been craving to get something a little cuter or with a little bit of a heel to go with my denim pencil skirt. (Mmm, maybe black patent leather... :9) My favourite pair is my $200+ Italian-made heels--cream coloured with a pearly sheen and VERY comfortable.

I wear a few pairs of shoes.
Running: ASICS Kayano
Work: Wolverine 6" steel-toe boots
ROTC: Jungle Boots
Shower: Cheap flip flops
Currently: a boot, I twisted my ankle on Saturday and it turns out I tore at least one ligament.

I own a large repertoire of shoes (30-40 different pairs) for a guy, but have been wearing the same pair of brown vans (9 months of the year) for the last 7 years... I wear flip flops and sandals the reamaining 3 months (summer) of the year.
It's been several years since I have purchased a new pair of shoes too. It would be nice if my vans lasted for the rest of my life... that's impossible of course though. Even so, I have an entire closet of shoes in near mint condition, that with a little luck I may never have to go and buy another pair of shoes in my life.
