Summer of Shoes: Pair 17

lorene — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 13:37:18 +0000

A few years ago I was shopping with a friend in Chicago and I discovered a brand called All Blacks. They didn’t have shoes in my size, but later I looked online and found a bunch of All Blacks shoes on clearance. I really like these wedge loafers except for one thing…there is some stitching on the toe box that presses into my foot…but I can deal with it.

As I’ve mentioned before Matisse is one of my favorite shoe brands, but they also have a lower priced line called Coconuts by Matisse. I picked up these sandals a few years ago at Century 21, back when gladiator sandals started getting popular. I like them because they are a bit gladiator without me having to buckle a ton of tiny straps.

Pair number fifteen are some caramel colored Jeffrey Campbell heels I bought at the Nordstrom shoe sale. I love the slightly bondage look with straps and buckles, the butter soft leather, and the very wearable 3″ heel height.

In case you were wondering how many pairs of black heels one woman can have…the answer is “a lot”. These are some Bandolino open toed slingbacks. I’m not sure I’ve ever worn them before but they are comfy so I will again. I think they are faux leather with a shiny snake print.

I have been on the hunt for some cool black flats for awhile so when I saw Cynthia Vincent flats on Gilt for $99 I grabbed them. The laser cut leather makes them perfect for summer. The only problem is they are a little creaky – but once the leather is more broken in I think that will stop.

Today’s pair are some very old Nine West kitten heel slides. I can’t recall the last time I wore them. They are kind of sporty looking and generally comfortable so I don’t know why I don’t wear them. I might get rid of them.

I’m a little behind on posting Summer of Shoes updates but I promise I’ve been keeping to the project! I do have 2 pairs I forgot to photograph and need to bring into work.

So let’s catch up, ok? These are silver Mossimo flats from Targets. They are knockoffs of some Seychelles shoes which are probably knockoffs of another brand. But they are comfy and go with lots of stuff so I wear them a lot.

These are my newest pair of shoes and I love them! They are made by Matisse, a brand I like because their shoes are made of leather in Brazil, but are still affordable. I got these for under $100.

These are cheap Mossimo or Merona shoes I bought in Target. They have a slight wedge and the cutouts keep your feet cool.

We are casual at work on friday so I can wear these sneakers. I bought them because they were crosstrainers and I didn’t want to wear my expensive running sneakers just to go to the gym. While they are cool looking they have the worst footbeds EVAH! I replaced them with blue SmartFeet and I’m much happier.
