What kind of shoes? Yes
Do you have more than one pair of shoes? Yes
Do your shoes have laces or velcro or are they slip-ons? Velcro sucks for shoes unless you are a small child--a guy must have designed that.
Do you call them shoes? I don't call them Louise.
If you call them shoes do you specify "dress" shoes or "casual" shoes or do you call them something else entirely? only on rare occasions
How many times do you change shoes? In my life? uh . . .
Do you walk in your shoes? Except for the 5 inch heel ones; do something else in those
Do you have shoes for sitting around in? No
Do you like shoes? Yes, because many I cannot wear
Are shoes your friends? No
Can you have more than one type of shoe? Yes
Do your shoes have colors? if they're trippin'
Do you shoes match your pants? sometimes
Are they lovely shoes? not often
Can I borrow some shoes? no, they won't fit
Did your great grandparents have shoes? have no idea

In general: I wear Birks whenever I can. I have very wide feet, and have a hard time finding shoes. I have bought about 5-6 pairs of shoes in the past few months trying to find a decently stylish and comfortable pair of black dress shoes for work, and they all FAIL!

I bought a pair of these a month ago on clearance. One of those buys when you just go try something on and have to have them, which doesn't happen often. I usually opt for cheap shoes, but I have been thinking of the benefits of not going so cheap on the foot lately.

They work great with long jeans and jeans are long on me. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever wore. More comfy than my earth shoes. Lots of toe room, support with no pinching anywhere. Perfect! Not so pretty but meh, who cares.

I wear Mary Janes. Always have - since froshman in high school. I wore white knee sox with those black, crappy, cheap (5.99!) Chinese shoes that looked like Mary Janes with zero arch support. Went great with my plaid Catholic schoolgirl uni.

In my Dead Phase I wore Birks - natch. Birks or barefoot - nothing else would give you cred.

I can't wear heels or platforms of any sort.

feel better shawnee.

I have never seen a decent pair of sneakers at the goodwill, but I have found leather Italian shoes, one with a generic label,"made in Spain" Love them even though they are toe pinchers. ( pointed toe) and the others were Franko Sarto bocco's which seemed only slightly worn.Good work shoes. Mostly wearing thrift store shoes for me, has been a lesson in other peoples gait and foot oddities.

Really wear shoes a lot.
(You gotta wear shoes a lot.)
Shoes a lot, shoes a lot.

Down in the locker room,
Just three boys,
Beatin' down the locker room
With all that noise,

Singin' do you wear shoes a lot?
(You gotta wear shoes a lot.)
Shoes a lot, shoes a lot.
(You gotta wear shoes a lot.)

Do you wear your socks a lot?
(Yes, I wear my socks a lot.)
Got to wear your socks a lot.
(Got to wear your socks a lot.)
Socks a lot, socks a lot.
(You gotta wear your socks a lot.)
Got to wear your socks a lot.

Well, down on the football,
Football field,
You never can tell
What a heel can wield,

So you gotta wear your socks a lot.
(You gotta wear your socks a lot.)
Socks a lot, socks a lot.
(You gotta wear your socks a lot.)

If I had a flag-a-long,
(If I had a flag-a-long.)
If I had a long flag-a-long,
If I had a long flag-a-long,
If you wear shoes a lot, tag along

Bee beep, bop, de boob a lot.
(You gotta wear shoes a lot.)
Shoes a lot, shoes a lot.
(You gotta wear shoes a lot.)

They're big and round,
They're all around.
They're big and round,
They're all around.

I'm no Imelda Marcos.

On high rotation:
One pair balck suede leather colorado sneakers.
One pair light tan leather shoes, sneakerish construction but look a litttle dressy.
One pair dark brown leather shoes.

These three are what I wear to work depending on what else I am wearing.

And occasionally used:
One pair chunky-sole high ankle hiking boots.
One pair grass sports shoes.
One pair black dunlop volleys for about the house.
One pair sandals.
One pair shiny balck leather dress shoes. Job interviews, weddings, and I'll probably be buried in them. You know what I mean :p

I like to be barefoot inside, and I like to put my bare feet on the natural earth.

I am prone to pronating and sometimes have a sore joint in my big toe.

This is the first winter that I didn't wear my Doc Martens once, because they never seemed to suit what I was wearing. I am getting old.
