Shoe Shrew Saturdays #8

5 May

This is the eighth post of Shoe Shrew Saturday, where I defend myself against accusations that I own too many shoes. If you’re a shoe shrew, drop me a line, I’d love to hear from you. The last time I counted, I owned about 30 pairs of shoes and boots. Do you think I’m SOD (shoe  obsession disordered?)

These are my Cole Haan flats that I bought at Nordstrom Rack last year in Boston. I didn’t think I could wear flats, since they don’t offer much support, but I found them very comfortable and make my feet look small. That’s important when you wear size 9.

Since it’s too warm for boots but too cold for sandals, these flats make a nice transitional shoe for spring, and look great with a pair of leggings.

Shoe Shrew Saturday #6

7 Apr

This is the sixth post of Shoe Shrew Saturday, where I defend myself against accusations that I own too many shoes. If you’re a shoe shrew, drop me a line, I’d love to hear from you. The last time I counted, I owned about 30 pairs of shoes and boots. Do you think I’m SOD (shoe  obsession disordered?)

Today I’m featuring my Cole Haan Nike Air boots, with the Arizona desert dust still clinging to them. I wore them almost every day for hours at a time; they’re very comfortable. I even wore them with my squaw dress and got the cowgirl vibe I was looking for at our Western themed banquet dinner. 

I like that they look Western, but not so much that they’re out of place with a pair of jeans up here in the Great White North. I must confess, I almost bought a pair of authentic cowboy boots at Saba’s: Arizona’s Original Western Store — pointy toes, rawhide and all — but gave in to my more sensible self. I can’t justify investing in cowboy boots if I only wear them with a cowgirl outfit at Halloween.

I bought my Cole Haan’s at Nordstrom Rack in Boston during last year’s shopping trip. This year’s shopping trip is only 28 days away. Yee-haw!

Shoe Shrew Saturday #5

This is the fifth post of Shoe Shrew Saturday, where I defend myself against accusations that I own too many shoes. If you’re a shoe shrew, drop me a line, I’d love to hear from you. The last time I counted, I owned about 30 pairs of shoes and boots. Do you think I’m SOD (shoe  obsession disordered?)

Yes, we’re still talking about boots. I live in the Great White North, after all, and for three seasons of the year boots are a big part of our lives up here.

I bought these ankle short, grey, suede boots at Nordstrom Rack in Boston last spring. Love that store. These boots are made by Sofft (Euro Soft), and they’re amazingly comfortable. Also, the heel isn’t too high, which is  nice for somebody with plantar problems.

Great with leggings or skinny jeans, or even tights and a skirt.
