The SHOE thread.

[Ahuvah]

I think we are taking away the masculinity (if that is a word) away from the beard thread ... so this is for us creative sisters who want to exchange ideas about shoes ... how can we jazz them up ... what are your favourites? Are all flip flops the same? Where are they appropriate?  Let's get this as long as the beard thread ... and THEY can't count all the posts about tattoos, shoes.

 

Of course not limited to sisters ... but no beards!! *Chuckles.

Bearded men wear shoes too.....

This would be awesome but to get the activity that the beard thread does you probably need to rename it, something like  ' what is the organizations views on shoos'?...

[Ahuvah]

Too limiting brother - we would get less posts. Good to note the first TWO replies are from brothers - smiles.

I don't really like shoes (nearly every type make my feet hurt ).  I wear them because I have to. 

 

However, *since* I have to, they need to look good.  I'm not wearing granny, clod-hopper brogans until I absolutely must!  

 

And I keep my toenails painted "hot mama red" at all times.  A pedicure is my one indulgence.

Not fond of shoes myself, barefooted right now. ..

My feet hurt all the time, shoes or not....neuropathy is a thing. .

 

Denise was talking about getting a pedi before our R.C. (July 29-31) and I am considering going with her. Our neighbor is an Elder in our Congregation,  he has diabetes,  his wife has suggested he get pedis on a regular basis so his feet get better care.  She goes but he has yet to.  Maybe I should get him to go with me?..

[Ahuvah]

Yeah get him to go with you ... i prefer barefeet too ... hate the feeling of socks ... usually wear ankle boots in Winter ... sandals in summer.

I hope I have finally broke myself of my shoe fetish, then I glance at my collection, and wonder if Clark has any new styles? I love that brand, a bit on the pricey side, but they are sooo comfortable!

[Ahuvah]

Got a pic?

[walkr2]

I grew up walking barefooted and I loved it! So now, I take my shoes off every chance I get!

Definitely, he should go. He will really benefit from the leg and foot massage, proper nail care, the massage chair..  It's wonderful self-care and it can be difficult to take care of one's own feet.

 

Absolutely worth it!

Do they serve wine?

Lol for the Kingdom Hall meetings and field service I love maryjanes (I refuse to grow up lol) but for everyday wear I have pink camouflage design sneakers. I would love to have a pair of converse though.

Many do, indeed! 

[hatcheckgirl]

My feet a snuggling in a pair of Ugg boots.  Not the real ones anymore, thanks to Pammy wearing them and sending them into $$$$ hyperspace.  But even the fake ones are comfy and warm on a cold winters day or night.  Only thing is, I can't wear them to the meeting.....

[On the huh]

What about socks with sandals, yes or no?

[Hope]

Only if you wish to look like an old man/lady.  

 

If it's cold enough to wear socks, just wear shoes.

I have a pair of 3 inch heels that are completely covered in glitter of all different colors.  I love wearing them because EVERYONE (including the brothers) gets a kick out of them.  The kids and babies stare at them during the meeting if I'm nearby so parents like that they keep their kids occupied and quiet.  As soon as the meeting is over they come over and want to touch them.  I can wear them for 3 or 4 hours tops though.  And I definitely wouldn't wear them for an RC but I wish I could! 

 

I remember my mother wearing high heels when I was a kid and I was fascinated by them and couldn't wait to wear them myself.  My first husband was my height and he didn't like me to be taller than him so I couldn't wear the heels I wanted to.  My current husband is MUCH taller than me but it's my age that keeps me from wearing the taller heels all the time now.  I always wondered at what age would I stop wearing heels and basically it's up to my knees and my feet - so we'll see!

Only if you live in a place where everyone else is blind.

A dear older sister wore a black skirt, black sandals, and white socks every day of the RC last weekend. She could get away with it, but otherwise, Nope!

[shali]

We had a sister in our hall who wore the same dress to every meeting with white socks and sandals.  It happens.

Absolutely, I wear white socks around the house and slip on my Hawaiian plastic flip-flops when I go outside....

 

I saw it on TV so it must be OK...

I'm seeing those jeans - which are pretty much NOT okay - so your logic is sadly flawed, dear brother...

[Old]

I wear these quite often, but never with sandals.
