Anyone want a fugly shoe post?

[rubytue]

You know I'm always a fan

My most recent purchase:


In my defense, they are a replacement for my go-to winter, casual shoes to wear with jeans. These were 10 years old. I loved them b/c I could polish them up and they still looked great. But alas, I decided it was time for them to go.

Oddly, I like the old ones better. Don't get me wrong...they're both fug.

Oh, ruby. LOL.

[rubytue]

I have no shame in it.

My dog bought me these new birkenstocks for my birthday: cdnb.lystit.com/photos/2012/04/20/birkenstock-onyx-mayari-sandals-product-1-3319256-227285824_full.jpeg

You know that you don't have to actually replace (ugly) shoes, right?

[cgpm]

Well, I think the new ones are a bit of improvement...in the fug shoe category, anyway. Lol.

While I am impressed that your dog has the ability to buy shoes, I am dismayed by your dog's taste.

I don't understand the pride, lol.

You can take your pick:
A) AW
B) Troll
C) Reinforcing to others that it is OK to have different tastes

[rubytue]

Oh, I like them. Sorry that wasn't clear. I just know that they aren't everyone's taste and MM will call them fugly.

[agnes]

It's ok. I wear fugly shoes sometimes too. I own a pair of Clarks....

[cgpm]

And apparently I wear fug shoes too. What can you do? ;-)

[bliss]

Eh, NMS but I'm sure my 4 inch heels with spikes on the back aren't yours (or other MMers) style either.

I'm not a big fan of flats in general so I pretty much think they are all fugly. And yes, I consider these flats because it's like maybe 2 inches.

Add me to the fugly shoe club. I also have really wide feet and the only sandals that I can get to fit my wide feet with high instep and high arches are Birkenstocks - I have 5 pair in different colours. (I also have a pair of Birkenstock clogs).

But, I'm 58 and officially a "hippy" - I have worn Birks for over 40 years ;D

I'm wearing Dansko clogs right now. I have no room to talk.... but I was SO not in the mood for dressy shoes today.

[Velvetshady]

I'll be wearing my BareTraps into work today, same shape toe and same heel--I have a long day ahead of me and frankly comfort means more to me than style. But I'm a confirmed Fugly Shoe Wearer.

I despise that, to be fashionable, women are expected to wear shoes that mess up our bodies (foot shape, use of toes, posture, etc.). My health is way more important to me than your opinion about my fashion choices.

Another proud wearer of Danskos, Clarks, Birkenstocks, and even Vibram 5-fingers (those 5-toed running shoes)

ooh...bad :-\ I wear size 12. I understand it can be difficult to find cute shoes, but many designers carry 11s & 12s, and cute inserts can make them more comfortable.
