Sure it's possible. Anything's possible if you have enough money. I'm telling you that, on a teacher's salary, I don't like spending $150 on footwear that's comfortable when I can spend $40 on flip-floppy thongs that I enjoy wearing more.

$150?!?!?!?! Jeezus- my friend doesn't pay as much for her shoes- that's $300 dollars in worthless Aussie money!

Sorry, random Shakespeare reference. It shows disdain for someone. I think the actual quote is from R & J.....?

Ah. Well the wind bites shrewdly- it is very cold. There's another

Mmmmm, I love massages of all kinds. Yummmmmmy.

It feels like your feet are getting spiked. Now if those things secreted massage oil then maybe ... though that could pose a walking problem.

oh my god, it has a page four now...

And I don't mean the footware, in case people don't get the joke.

Will there be pictures involved?





Just kidding, don't kill me

I don't kill over flattery, although SirNit might not want to share the pictures

I think those 3 pairs there, between them, cost more than every pair of shoes I have ever bought combined.

$70 is mid-range for those kinds of shoes. There were some (that were positively ghastly) for around $150. Bleck.


You guys have it soooooooooooooooooooooo good, you don't even know.

Oh yes, because every girl's wardrobe should include at least 1 black pair, one dark brown, one light brown/tan pair, one white and one off-white/cream pair. To be fancy, you can add a red pair to match the bright red dress, a blue pair to match that one skirt, a green pair that matches this pantsuit......

And don't *EVEN* get me started on the price of a nice, well-fitting bra!

My shoes are size 13 1/2, and they wear out very quickly because I don't have $50 to buy designer footwear. I also live in a relatively clean suburb, so I go around barefoot much of the time in the summer, when I'm just around the block and such. The calluses on my feet could deflect bullets.

I have one pair of Airwalks (size 11), one pair of brown dress shoes (also size 11), and one pair of steel-toed work boots. There's no reason to have a more complicated footwear collection unless your job (professional baseball player, scuba diver, etc.) requires it, IMHO.

I have one pair of generic-brand sneakers.

I have a pair of generic sneakers I change once ever year or so, and two pairs of dress shoes, of different sizes, so when I put them on, one feels tighter than the other.

When i was in texas, there was a Gucci store.... there was this pair of black sued shoes with a red dragon on them in there... $500.... for that kinda money i might as well by an xbox and steel batallion.... though they were nice looking shoes, if they were donated to the shrine of monster i wouldn't refuse

I get jealous of those kids that can afford those things! If I want nice clothes, I head outlet shopping. Otherwise, it's t-shirts and jeans for me. It's incredibly annoying how people judge you by way you dress.

My friends who are girls accuse me of being a slob. If you know Asian college students these days, they love dressing snappy. I simply do not have the cash or inclination to spend THAT much money on my casual wear. I own a few suits and shirts for interviews and work.. but dammit, how can you be accused of dressing sloppy going to class?!!!!

Yeah ... hundreds of dollars on clothing for casual wear is ludicrous... although if i had the money to blow .... i probably would do it myself i second that jealousy ;_;

I have a pair of Nikes that were on sale ($40), some dress shoes ($$), some Sketchers leather shoes for work that were also on sale ($50) and a pair of Wal-Mart boots ($12).

I also have some old shoes laying aruond.

As an asian student who dresses on a budget, I know how it feel. They look down on me because I wear worn jeans and a generic top along with some skateboarding shoes I found being cleared out at the local sports shop. I believe in function, if my clothes are nice and comfy and fit well while looking half decent it's good. The picture below shows how I look on a typical day. I prefer to spend my cash on other things, such as the $2500 bike you see in that picture.

On the other hand I have way better glasses than they do, I've had Polo's, Gucci's, and I'm wearing Armani glasses right now, all with the best Nikon lenses money can buy. Of course my glasses are fully covered under insurance so they're effectively free, otherwise I would not have $400-$500 glasses.

As for shoes, 4 pairs: dress shoes, school shoes, work shoes, and SPD biking shoes.

You aren't asian =P


hehe, j/k ... on a more serious note ... being comfertable is always more important than looking nice... unless of course you care or not how you look. [/quote]

Hmm....my usual footwear....a pair of New Rock boots.....which cost me a little over £100, but have lasted nearly 3 years now of almost everyday use.

Feels good after a day at an amusement park.

My shoes usually last a year, and I only have one pair at any given time. My priorities center on other things, like games. Clothing just isn't that important, except to protect you from the elements.

I paid (rather, my mother did) $140 for my shoes... but that's mainly because 4E-wide shoes aren't as common as other shoes. It's worth it for comfortable shoes.

I also have a pair of cheap-yet-decent looking dress shoes and a pair of sandals for when I'm just making a quick run to the store.

I continually have two pairs of sneakers: one pair old, one pair new. What I wear depends on what I'm going to do.

I despise sandals in every way, shape, and form. To date, I have not once found a pair of sandals that feel anywhere near as comfortable as a good pair of sneaks.

Sandals aren't bad. Girls look quite good in them sometimes. Some of them are sexy, some portray a sense of innocence.

What drives me mad though is that every girl wears 'em when they just aren't flattering, and if you wear them everywhere your feet will pick up a lot of crud.

For instance, WTF are those black one to a gazillion inch flip-flop types that girls are always wearing?!! Ugliest things. Sometimes they're so big it's just freaking ugly.

Trytostaydead wrote:Sandals aren't bad. Girls look quite good in them sometimes. Some of them are sexy, some portray a sense of innocence.

Agreed. My point was that I hate wearing them myself.

Hmm shoes.

Quick inventory:

One pair of nice dress shoes about $120 that I really like but are to expensive for continues use.

A pair of addidas general trainers $40 use them when just going out to shop and stuff.

Some addidas indoor trainers $30

My pride an joy a pair of hiking boots $450 Lundhags Really Really good and use them all the time when I can get away with boots.

Birkenstock flipflops at the office. $50 Comfy shoes at the office is a absolute must.

Emergency dress shoes at the office $40 looks sorta good but don’t fit to well. I only use those when I have office meetings and stuff.

Yeah but are they $500 great ?! ( rounding up of course ) I mean, you could by a really run down crapped up hatch back for that price!

I at present have 3 pairs of footwear:
1 pair of school shoes, 2 1/2 years old, still got it.
1 pair of joggers, 3 years old, also still looking new.
1 pair of sandals, essential in Australia during the summer spring and autumn months, about 4 years old, they were ridiculously big when I first got them. Now rather comfy.
