Sorry THF I'm stealing your idea....

I'm curious what you wear for shoes or boots? I wear black dress shoes(Shoes for Crews) to work and sneakers at home. I love pointy toed boots and have a pair but 10 hours on my feet and I'm crying by the end of the night.

Flip flops.......almost always.

flip flops, sketchers or my new favorite athletic style black ballet flats. I like to wear anything that is super comfy, doesn't require socks, and can be put on/off easily. If I'm not wearing shoes at home, I wear either slippers or fuzzy socks.
I also love wedge sandals/slides - I have about 5 pair. My faves last summer were a two-banded espadrille. I loved them and wore them everywhere! I love the look of strappy sandals and pointy-toed boots but they are NOT practical for me right now. I still have some in my closet but they only come out on date night (which is rare these days)

I lOVE flip flops but due to the 12 inches of snow outside not too practical...

oh well as soon as its warm out thats all I wear. Except to work I still have to wear dress shoes.

HI! I LOVE my UGGS! But, I wore them before it was a "fashion" statement - so I'll probably always wear them.

But I also love ALL boots! I have cowboy, riding, platform, shoebooties, you name it - I love them! One of my favorite pairs (really not very practical to wear all day) are pink suede with brown fur at the top with a VERY high heel!

For shoes - I love ballet flats, but I also love wedge shoes, borne clogs, but my thing I WANT but haven't gotten is a pair of Christian Louboutain pumps! That would be IT for me!

I have a girl at work who wears ballet flats. But she is also 5 ft 10...I am about 5 ft. I can't see the top of peoples head while cutting their hair if I wear flat shoes. The chairs don't go down far enough

Well now in Winter I just wear boots... some are high-heeled and some are flat. I just love boots, they are warm, comfortable and look really nice. Now that Spring is starting I will start wearing shoes, but I find them uncomfortable most of the time. In Summer I only wear sandals.
