SHOES

Not that we didn't do important stuff today, like go to museums and be terribly intellectual, as we always are, with learned opinions about all kinds of important topics, but today's blog is about shoes. Mostly pictures of shoes.


  We start with a really strappy sandal, which I guess is supposed to look really sexy but actually looks a lot like some kind of an orthopedic device.






  Many of these are from reeeeeeeaaaaaaallllllllllllyyyyyyyy expensive looking stores on Madison Avenue, so I didn't bother to go in wearing my year-old New Balance shoes which were also soaking wet because it was pouring down rain.

Since it's July, of course, there were a few boots. These have some shiny stuff on the heels.

I had to be the frumpiest looking person on the whole East Side, but I thought theymight give me a try with these shoes, the brand of which is Jekyll Hydes. Furry in the front and spiky in the back.






 

I thought these were pretty cute, and looked like something I'd wear if my rich aunt gave them to me.

I think these are pretty nice, they actually look like fairly normal shoes, even though they are high. I find it kind of sad that now that heels are so high, they have to be marginally easier for those of us with longitudinally enhanced feet to wear than for those people with a size 6-1/2, and I've already just worn my feet out and can't even play at them.

I should have bought these, because they go with my new hair.


 

These are the piece de resistance. WOW. And where's the heel? And there's also a boot with no heel. Particularly useful for slippery streets in the winter.

Some of the pictures I took a couple of days ago in Greenwich Village. These are sort of easy walker platforms, only an inch off the ground at the lowest point. Note, they are bright colors, not the tasteful muted colors of the Upper East Side.

There's a pair of shoes in this window that's only $100. I'm not sure which pair, but there's a tiny little sign just about in the middle of the picture that says $100. I'm betting it's the pair directly to the left that looks like you could walk a whole mile in them before they fell apart.

Can't resist adding another pair I saw a day later. I like the architectural quality of these.

AND FINALLY, these are shoes I saw on a guy on the ferry last Saturday. I may wanna get me some o' these.
