Wait...really? Am I broken that I thought the other ones were cute comfy looking work shoes and I think these are fugly?
For me, on the ones you posted, it's the combo of the god-awful 90s-throwback chunky heel that looks good on NO ONE.
And the detailing looks cheap. It's like they tried to create the multiple piece look with stitching, not with actual multiple pieces. Also the perforation looks like it was done with a hole punch.
dammit. Fine. I'm irrationally frustrated by this. I just want some damn shoes I can wear with pants or with dresses+tights to work that will keep my feet out of the snow in the parking lot.

There's nothing I like that hasn't gotten poo-poo'd either here or by MH.
Apparently my taste is broken this season and I just should give up and have wet feet like I did last year.

Are you wanting Oxfords? Or booties? Or does it not matter?
does not matter. I was looking for booties when I stumbled across the oxfords and kinda liked them as being less boring than plain booties.
pixy0stix that would make sense. And I own waterproof boots that I love, but I have the attention span of a guppie and typically end up halfway across the parking lot in a puddle before I remember that my boots are under my desk. Also I'm not changing my shoes while going to and from meetings with my boss. I don't work in a walkable office, so commuting shoes aren't typical here and it would be awkward.
I want to buy these shoes or something very like them:
I keep showing pictures of women wearing similar shoes to MH and asking him what he thinks - and every time he wrinkles his nose. Why do I keep asking him?? I should just get the damn things. But I don't want to end up in jail after I buy them and he refers to them as my old lady shoes for the 292845798467th time.
I have a pair that looks similar to those. Theyre more mary Jane, though. I super PPH them.
pixy0stix, this made me think of you since it's Simpsons + clowns. That Brooklyn Simpsons trivia group I go to has a Chicago branch and they just did their costume contest. The winner was Bart's clown bed from "Lisa's First Word."

I have learned to embrace that no shoe I wear will ever be approved by MM. I think my tastes only disagree with CE&P 75% of the time, so that's a win. (I consider the brown platformy ones much fuglier than the ones you posted, for example).
As a bit of background...my mom was hurting really bad last week. Like tears in pain. I felt awful (and frustrated) because there really wasn't anything I could do. On Friday night, she tells me that she hasn't taken her pain meds since Monday. She didn't think they were helping any. Um. Ok, then. So, on Friday, there really wasn't anything I could do. The Dr.'s office was closed, etc. She called yesterday so I had to pick them up...but, I couldn't yesterday because I had class and they weren't ready to pick up till after 3.
So, today, I pick up her scripts at the doctor. I drop them off at the pharm. I was supposed to have a doctor's appointment at 5:45 so I should have left work a bit early. Nope. Some people only move at their time. So, I rescheduled. After I got out of work, I went to the pharmacy, where I waited for FORTY FIVE MINUTES to pick up the drugs. That was before I was even helped. Then, it's my turn (HUZZAH!)and I waited...and waited. Until the woman told me that the pharmacist had to put together the prescription. Huh? I got a text HOURS ago telling me it was ready. So... ok. FINALLY.
I am heading home. I still have to figure out dinner. I have not eaten all day except the recovery shake I had after spin (I know, that's my own fault). I didn't want to do drive through, but fuck it. It's after 7 and I don't feel like even boiling some tortellini and throwing pesto on it. So...I go to Wendy's. I call mom and ask her what she wants. She tells me. I order what I want. Truly the only thing I care for on Wendy's menu, and it's minus this and that..so, special. I get home and hand her the bag. She pulls out her burger and I go upstairs to change (and apparently it was strip the bed to change her sheets day -- except she can't make her own bed). When I get downstairs, she's halfway through it and says "I think I got yours by mistake." JFC. No burger for me because I don't want what she fucking ordered. Off to the kitchen to make tortellini with pesto. Which, admittedly is good, but...
FUCK THIS DAY.
If you got all the way through this....well, I owe you a shot. Or a cookie. Or something.
