Friday Shoe Blogging

[swag]

I got these on Monday along with another pair. I had some money from a recently discovered birthday card from my parents that had been buried underneath some bills and junk mail on the mail desk at home. And I needed some new shoes, so I went to Nordstrom Rack, for something on the less expensive side that might be a year or two out of date, not that out of date matters in Portland, Oregon (or anywhere else). They're comfortable, decent to look at, and they may last a while, if previous pairs from the same maker are any indication. Anyway, this is my entry. Happy Friday shoe blogging.

1. I bought some like that for serving (well, cheap $5 useds from Savers)

Very comfortable.

[swag]

2. I am inspired by your post to recall the motto of Ethel Percy Andrus:

"To Serve and Not to be Served."

7. The Annie Sprinkle of her time

[swag]

9. I am inspired by your post to recall the words of Go Ask Alice

"Another day, another blowjob."

[jpgray]

11. The Annie Proulx of her time

:D

[swag]

13. I am inspired by your post to recall the words of Catullus

who wrote so tenderly and polymetrically,

Pedicabo vos Ego et irrumabo.

16. The Animus Rectum of his time

[swag]

18. I am inspired by your post to recall the strange grin of

Professor Hay as he wandered off yet again into a reverie centering on the phrase vagina dentata.

3. very nice!

:thumbsup:

I like. Very classy yet multi-functional, much like yourself!

:hi:

[swag]

4. Wow, you're kind.

But where are your shoes?

[cassandra uprising]

6. I couldn't find a pick of them on th Nine West website

They're old. :blush:

[swag]

8. I have old shoes too.

It was just by chance that I Friday Shoe Blogged some new ones.

I will Friday Shoe Blog some old ones next Friday.

5. I'll try this again! Those are very stylish and comfy looking!

I love those shoes. Mr. CB needs a pair like that.

Kenneth Cole has great ad campaigns. The ads have socially conscious messages.

[swag]

10. Mr. CB is fortunate indeed to have you looking after his

Friday Shoe Blogging needs.

Have you ever seen any Kenneth Cole ads that have to do with Election Reform? If so, perhaps my oops was not so inexcusable.

[CottonBear]

12. I'll have to look through my back issues of Vanity Fair.

The ads are always really thought provoking and the photography is really good. The shoes are nice too!

Guess what? I touched some kudzu the other day! (Or maybe it touched me...) A big vine grew out form the woods to where I park my truck at the farm where my horse lives. The vine stems are tomentose (hairy) and the leaves are soft and bright green. The drought doesn't seem to phase kudzu due to it's awesome and enormous tap root system. ;)

[swag]

14. Whenever I see that word "kudzu," I hear the lazy drawl of

Tennessee Williams in my tiny mind's ear.

Congratulations on your kudzu-touching experience. You should consider opening a theme park.

15. nice shoes!

i haven't bought a new pair of shoes in a year

not a shoe person, i guess

i only have the one pair... and some flip flops

i'm so classy it hurts! :P

[swag]

17. You're Barefoot-in-the-Park classy, you are.

19. Keep 'em shined.

Every time I see a guy wearing dress shoes that obviously haven't been shined since they were taken out of the box, I puke in my mouth a little. And use a shoe horn and shoe trees, fer Jeebus' sake.

'Sides, an on-the-foot shine while reading the paper is a great old-timey experience. Even better if you're smoking a cigar and wearing a top hat.

But after all that bloviating, here's what I wear every day:

[swag]

20. Thanks. I get shoe-shines every Wednesday,

but it's nice to have the encouragement to continue in this practice.

I like your shoe. It reminds me of the first pair of Adidas I ever had. I think I was in eighth grade, but I may be wrong.

[swag]

21. Kick for Peace and Justice.

[ghostsofgiants]

22. Nice. I got new kicks recently as well.

Pretty fresh.

[swag]

23. Bumpin' fresh. Bumpin' like a mug.

I guess I need those.

[bridgit]

24. It's a Buck Dancer's Choice, my friend...

can i throw a handful of darts at the same time?

[swag]

26. Twenty well placed darts will eliminate most systemic risk

from your portfolio, so yes.

[Heidi]

25. Sweet, swag! I, too, have new shoes!

Nubuck "albarcas," sent to me by a friend in Menorca. They are sooooooooo comfy! :thumbsup:

[swag]

27. Fetching, too.

But aren't you now Saturday?

[Heidi]

29. Yes, I'm now Saturday.

But it's still Friday somewhere. :P

[barb162]

32. I like them

[swag]

33. Thank you very much.

I even wore them last night. Very comfortable.

[SKKY]

34. I´ve got a pair of KCR´s almost exactly like that. I do love his shoes...

[swag]

35. Me too.

I bought my first pair of Kenneth Cole's at Saks about 10 years ago. These things with a double monk strap. It filled me with anxiety to be spending $120 on a pair of shoes. Broke my heart when the damned things finally wore out.

[WCGreen]

36. Those really look comfy....

And at my age, that is the important factor....

[swag]

37. Gotta keep the dogs happy, after all.
