I was looking at the shoes again, too - they look so comfortable! I think you made a really good choice with those. Posts: 3214 | Registered: Apr 2002

Bob, are you supposed to be seeing shoes and such? Isn't that supposed to be bad luck or something? Posts: 2069 | Registered: May 2001

You know, you two (You and Bob. Not you and the shoes. Though I guess that would be you three, really.) are going to have such a great wedding. I can just imagine the joy.
I wish I could afford to fly to America on a whim.
Oh well, I'll settle for attending it vicariously through Hatrack.
Where can I send a card to?

When Jenni and I got married about a year and a half ago I insisted on wearing a Tux, but flat out refused to wear plastic shoes...
You know the ones I mean, the ones that pinch your heels so bad that by the end of the night you can't walk another step.
I had plastic covered shoes in the service...and I hated them. I have seen a ton of people almost cripple themselves in those shoes at weddings.
So I went and bought me a pair of Deer Stags, a very comfortable pair of black wingtips, and I wore those. They looked better than the crap the tux place was trying to pawn off on me, and I got to keep them.
I have worn the hell out of them, almost every day at work since we were married, and they are still the best pair of dress shoes I have ever owned.
And I was comfortable at the wedding, and got to dance all night long.

Those would be my princess shoes. I got them from KrabbyPatty 3 or 4 birthdays ago.
They are beautiful, but do not stay on terribly well for dancing, and so will not be my maid of honor shoes.

For the purpose of the wedding and reception and stuff, I'm going to have to go with the last pair.
If comfort and appropriateness were not a concern, however, I would totally wear the third pair for the rest of my life if I were you. Posts: 10886 | Registered: Feb 2000

The third pair is not uncomfortable, actually. But the silver vinyl corset that goes with it really isn't work attire.

If I were choosing, I'd go with the fourth pair, then. But I'm a wuss, and won't wear much in the way of heels -- haven't in years.
But even before I had kids, and wore heels, I avoided them if I was going to be dancing. Especially spike heels -- both for my own sake, and as a public service to whomever I might trod upon.
Those go with my best business suit, which I haven't actually worn since the last time I went on a job interview. I just threw 'em in to even out the wording. And really, you can't tell, but the heel is just as high on those as the last pair.
(Also, they would actually be harder to dance in, because they don't have an ankle strap. Nope, they're right out. Ankle straps are necessary for dancing.)
(I would have linked to the comic instead of the movie, but I couldn't find a webpage about the comic that didn't have at least some inappropriate artwork.)

Ankle straps + dancing would almost certainly = me with a twisted ankle. But if you say that the heels are as high as the last pair (do you wear any FLATS? like, ever?), then yeah, I vote for the last pair.
I still like the princess ones, but shoes must be practical too. At least a little. Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

Sure I wear flats! Particularly in the summer, lots of sandels. I wore flats today, even. But I was only pulling out the silver shoes for this, and why in the world would anyone want silver flats?
I need to find an excuse to wear the princess shoes more often... Maybe this summer. They're not good in snow. Posts: 7954 | Registered: Mar 2004

scottneb, the stalker mail came via USPS, to my home address. From someone who said they had seen me around the neighborhood. Since I rarely wear heels when I hang out in my yard or walk around the block, I sincerely doubt the two are related.
(Plus it's kinda hard to form a cause/effect relationship when the effect happened before the proposed cause. I'm just saying.)

I wasn't really serious. Maybe I need to put some 's in that last post.
Oh, and don't think that I was ooglin'. I'm happily married and hate feet, no matter who they belong to.

If it were me, I'd wear the last pair. But it's not me, so wear whichever you want. I'm taking a hands-off attitude, remember?

You were a lot more fun to tease when we were little.
Seeing as the last pair is the one I went out and bought Tuesday for the wedding, and the one Mom measured my "waist to floor" distance in, yeah, I'll probably be wearing those.
