Because they are!Originally Posted by sharkythesharkdogg
I have a pair of platform sandals (black), a pair of pumps (black), and a pair of suede boots (black), all of which make me about 4 inches taller.
I also have two pairs of running shoes (black), and a pair of beat up winter boots (black), because the rest of my footwear isn't very comfortable.
I wear skater shoes because I like how comfortable they are when I first get them and then later I hate how much they make my heels hurt.
I have all-black, extra-wide New Balance walking shoes because I walk, and I have wide feet. When the soles break on them, I get the same shoes. I'm on my third or fourth pair. It's the only pair of shoes I own.
Oh Hai
These are my shoes, New Balance Minimus Life:
I currently only have this pair of shoes for remotely real life. They say they are not for running but smurf that. I sprint in this stuff just fine and handle all the stupidity that I bring to life through my animated world.
I have a nice dress pair that I wear about once a year. My other dress shoes that I use to wear to work were a pair of Dockers that I loved but they wore down fast and I need to get them repaired. I am in no rush though.
I usually have one pair of primary shoes at a time. It's usually something like Vans or a knock-off version if they are comfortable and look good. I just prefer the wider build of the shoe for my foot. I also have to use heel cups to keep away the plantar fasciitis I'm prone to.
I also have have some very old dress shoes in black and brown, but since my every day shoes are solid black I can usually get away with wearing them to most things I do and prefer to because they are more comfortable on my feet.
I do have some older ones that I throw on for yard work and some flip-flips I'll wear if I just need something to throw on my feet for a few moments.
omg ed those look so comfortable. I must see if they come in women's sizes when its time to replace my shoes.
I own two pairs of shoes. One is a pair of Carson suede slippers which I wear almost anywhere because they're very comfortable and I can wear them indoors. Another is black Propet LifeWalker with straps. They look nice so I wear them if I'm going out or want to look nice. That isn't very often though.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
I have lots of heels that I have amassed over the years for different occasions where I've matched the shoes with the dress so those are all different colors. As for boots, I own I think about four pairs, two pairs are from Aldo, another from Steve Madden, and the newest pair are from Urban Outfitters. The later, isn't really that greatly made imo. Aldo shoes are fantastic though. They're always so comfy, stylish, and durable. I usually get their shoes in black. I also own two pairs of rain boots, and a few pairs of sneakers (Converse All Stars, Nike, and Reebok).
I always wear sneakers. I love Nike Skeets. I also have a pair of blue timbs I wear once in awhile but hardly ever.
I own two pairs of shoes: a pair of ordinary black Vans that I have had for going on four years and are still in wearable condition and a pair of dark brown dress shoes that I never wear because I avoid going to places that require dress shoes.
MAXIMUM BROFIST.I have all-black, extra-wide New Balance walking shoes because I walk, and I have wide feet. When the soles break on them, I get the same shoes. I'm on my third or fourth pair. It's the only pair of shoes I own.
Oh Hai
They are very comfortable. I had a problem and had to have them replaced. The sole on the inside of the life is slightly padded (unlike the rest of the minimus line) and it rocks. Plus no laces is always a win. The only thing that sucks (but I am use to it from my last pair of shoes) is that rain and snow seep through the mesh like I decided to swim in my shoes :P
These shoes are not cheap (or I don't think they are cheap). But considering I pretty much wear just one pair of shoes I decided to go with this minimus life style of shoe as the whole concept behind it has intrigued me for years and I will not go back now.
Also, because I was use to wearing sneakers with a bigger heal to toes drop, my calfs were hurting for a couple of weeks >.> They do warn of this.
Edit: I think I mention that these are meant for every day use and not working out or running or anything. They have a bit of a loose feel to them. I am very use to that sort of feel and probably have a lot of natural movement that compensates for the some what loose but snug feel to these shoes. I tried the other types of their minumus line but they were all way too tight and snug and were annoying the hell out of me XD Plus that had those evil laces :o

These are my current kicks:
and I love them very much. I've had some sort of pair of similar style skate shoes going on for the past 10 years really, for some reason I'm really into shoes that have weird ass designs or patterns on them like these do. before these I had some with some viking skeleton shooting lightning out of its face and I had some grafitti style ones before that too. idk why, that's just my thing. I like hi-top skate shoes more than anything as well, I like the style of skate shoes and find them more comfortable than anything else. other than that I've got a pair of worn out red converse knocking about somewhere, some steel toe cap boots and a dodgy pair of loafers that only get worn at formal functions.
I own several pairs of shoes it would seem. Some I wear only for certain occasions others all the time.
First up lets get it out of the way, yes. I do indeed own a pair of cowboy boots. They're Sancho's and they cost me a lot however they are designed more as biker boots than the traditional cowboy boot. As seen in the below image:
These are comfy as heck once broken in however I cannot wear them at this time since I need to get them re-heeled/soled so that I don't damage the wooden soles.
Second of all I have black high-top converse all stars:
these I wear pretty much whenever, I have usually always got a pair of these hanging around in my house. They're comfy and they're nice to wear when heading out dancing since they provide better grip on the dance floor and if some idiot spills a drink on them it's generally a) not going to show and b) not hard to get clean again.
I have my "gym" trainers, they're not super expensive I don't see the point in these having to cost a fortune like some people the constant exercise will generally
wreck them anyhow I got them in a sale at Sports Direct down from £49.99 to £24.99 which I considered a bargain. They're super comfy and fast becoming what is generally seen on my feet. This is because in part the comfort of them and in part the fact that they 1) look good (at the moment at least) and 2) I try to go gym every day possible. They're Karrimor Trail running shoes and look like this:
I also have my "suit shoes" which are generic black loafers which look alright on me but I will only generally wear them if 1) I have no choice or 2) I am going to a formal wear occasion. The only other footwear I have is a pair of black coral reef shoes from when I went to Egypt and stayed in a hotel on the Red Sea. They're basically wetsuit material with a heavy rubber sole. They're useful though as coral will generally infect you with some nasty stuff if you cut your foot open on it. As I discovered on holiday.
Those look like women's riding boots. The fact that you know what brand they are makes it extra gay.
