The annihilation of comfy shoes

[redeemed_lizzi]

I came back from town the other day and my one of my favourite pairs of shoes were wrecked :012:. It was a long time coming, but it pained me to throw them away. They were black, crocheted, ballet sorta shoes and they were sooooo comfy. They only thing, or things rather that persuaded me to throw them away, were the three massive and very painful blisters on my feet. I hate throwings things that have served me soo well over the years away, even if they are tattered and torn. Does anybody else feel my pain?

[marichino_freedom]

i love shoes, but i hate parting with them.

but i always want to buy more....in order to do that, i promise myself to get rid of at least one pair

[Anna]

ooooo shoes!! my favorite thing in the world...(well not really, but I really like them). I have about 40 pairs.... but I have to start weeding them out, which pains me a little since I put so much time and effort into finding the perfect shoes for different outfits and such...but...see I had a problem with high heels...I was addicted to them, and loved not being so short (since I get teased for it constantly, but the heels didn't help, I still got teased lol) Anyways so, God has been dealing with me and I feel that if I'm gonna be living 100% for God then I shouldn't let a silly little thing like shoes get in the way of it. So...out with the old high heeled shoes....and in with cute little flats! I getta go shopping. I getta go shopping. :)

Just wanna say Praise the Lord from delivering me from that spirit!

[marichino_freedom]

i've tried to wear high heels.....I cant walk!!!! it's a funny sight to see when I have some on. :taz:

[Babyruth]

I hate shoes! I like to go barefoot as much as possible, and when I have to wear shoes, I take them off as soon as I can. I hate shopping for shoes too. I wish they'd just appear so I wouldn't have to try a bunch on first.

[blessed]

lol... you really don't look like that do you?

[Lily_Grace]

:topicoff: :D
I hated throwing away my £6 sunglasses that i absoluelt loved because i bought it with MY own money.
but then my sister bought me some new ones...and they are breaking a bit too:sad:

[AlanaH]

I like heels, none of mine are spikes or over two inches though. I prefer wedge or block heels..but I do like my heels. Actually, I think I only have maybe one pair of flat shoes...

[marichino_freedom]

i only have my heels that are about 2 inches from my sisters wedding, and a pair of heels that are about an inch.

the boots i have, though, are big chunky heels (about 2 inches) and i LOVE them....they make me feel like i'm wearing combat boots!

i have come to realize that i have too many pairs of tennis shoes........i LIVE in those

[Chelles]

well...shoes are fine...except one thing....
there is not a pair of shoes in the world that are atually comfortable...you get heels and your ankles and calves hurt..you get them flat and your arches ache cuz of no padding.

I hate shoe shopping. They don't make shoes to fit my Fred Flinstone feet.

[marichino_freedom]

what size shoe do you wear?

i love converse shoes....granted, they are really flat, but they are the most comfy shoes i own....i have two pairs already, and still want more!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhh! i'm a shoe-a-holic:eek:

[Chelles]

I wear a nine in length....and like....a nine in width. Oh wait....more like an M....

Why do they have numbers in legth and letter in width? Weird.

I love these new seqins shoes....I have pink...and brown...and two pairs of black...and gold....AND...........

I have felt <sp?> ones w/ a huge flower on the toe.
A girly girl I am....

[Chelles]

whats a converse shoe?

[EllyMae]

What shoes are you talking about? lol

[Chelles]

you know...they are completely flat....some are slip-ons some are mules and they are covered in sequins...I can't decide if I like my pink or my gold ones better....:bigsmile:

[marichino_freedom]

converse are those really flat sneakers that are high topped or cut off at the ankle....old school basketball shoes.

love em

and i wear a nine too

[redeemed_lizzi]

Hey I'm going to join the big foot club. I'm a UK size 8 which is a US 9 1/2 (roughly). When I was going to school it was a nightmare to try and find a decent pair of flat heels. All the size 8 styles were things middle aged or older ladies would wear. I am soo loving the flat shoe revival. Chelles, I know what you mean by those shoes and I think they're gorgoeus. Just have to find one that will fit my long extra wide foot lol.
If I could, I would live in trainers and my two pairs of flip flops as I find them the most comfortable things in the world. I LOVE shoes. I don't actually know how many pairs I have. Shoes, handbags and jewellery are my shopping weaknesses. Good for my wardrobe -bad for my bank account ;)

[marichino_freedom]

i like my big feet....even if they are really skinny..
i have super long toes too


and i love the fact that they are making cuter shoes for bigfoots (bigfeet?). its refreshing

[LittleLamb]

im a size 9 1/2 and im 12! what i really hate about having big feet is that they rarelly have any cute shoes (tennishoes other shoes are easy to find) for big feet peoples.but i understand you completely redeemed lizy, i have a pair of really cute flip flops they are brown and on the straps the have brown sparkley sequins and their sooooo comfy but the sequins are comming of everywhere so eventually ill have to throw them away:012:

My sympathies to you. I had the same size feet when I was your age. Hopefully your feet wont grow anymore. In my case, it's a curse from my mums side of the family ;) . All the females apart from 1 aunt and my lil sis have size 8 feet (the two lucky ones have size 7 feet -oh the injustice :012: ). I have to buy mens trainers, coz womens only go up to a size 7 (how rude). But I've discovered a fantastic shop that caters for the long and wide and their shoes are really cute and not unreasonably priced. I think my trainers are on their last legs too....arghhh!!!! But as usual I'll wear them until they're literally falling to bits :D

[AlanaH]

I wear size 9-1/2 dress and size 10 runners and boots, some dress too, I suppose...and my mom is a size 7....rrrggghhh...so unfair...:012:

[redeemed_lizzi]

my sympathies. I do have good looking feet though, so that's a plus ;)

[AlanaH]

I don't...I have a slightly deformed right little toe, so that makes it even harder to fit into shoes.

[blessed]

I have nice feet or so other ppl say....

[EllyMae]

I have small feet... I can wear shoe sizes about 6.5-7.5

My dad says I have barbie doll feet... haha :D

[leahmb]

I adore shoes! I guess I've never really thought of it, but it's pretty easy for me to fit in shoes; I just must have perfect feet :) I'm an 8.5 and not a wide or narrow. My last count was 50 pairs. My goal was to keep it there, so if I bought a new pair, to get rid of one, but I've been unsuccessful.....so I probably am at 55. But I love things to be exactly matching, so you have to have many pairs of shoes for that. OH, and purses have to match too!

[EllyMae]

I'm nowhere close 50 pairs of shoes! lol

In the summer all I wear is flip flops, and then for the winter I'll have like 1 pair of tennis shoes and maybe 1 pair of boots.

Don't have many purses either... About 4.

[Unregistered]

I love flip flops

[AlanaH]

I guess I have around 10 pairs....1 pair of runners, 4 pairs of dress shoes...3 pairs informal sandals....1 pair of sneakers and 1 pair of black boots.

[marichino_freedom]

i havent counted, but around 20 for me.....3 pairs of flip flops, 2 pairs of sandals, 4 pairs dress shoes, 2 pairs athletic shoes, 2 pairs of converse, 2 pairs of boots, and a pair of slip on tennis shoes. i THINK thats it....grand total:16, but i dont know if i remembered them all.

oh well, whats a girl to do?

[blessed]

In a situation like that I would say go buy more shoes sis :D

[redeemed_lizzi]

:lol: I have a store house worth of bags. My favourite one at the mo is one that I call my Mary Poppins bag coz it holds everything. I was using my dark green leather one for work before the holidays but I've rediscovered my burgundy 'student' bag. Yay for bags!! As for shoes...I think I'm making up for the lack of good looking ones that were available when I was younger ;). I have 2 pairs of flip flops, 2 pairs of comfy flats, 4 pairs of trainers, 2 sandle flats, 3 pairs of boots and an untold number of church shoes. Like I said I LOVE bags and shoes :D

[AlanaH]

I only have two purses...one black and one hot pink. I hate moving all my stuff from one to the other, so I guess that's why I don't have many.

[marichino_freedom]

i'm not a big purse girl either....they kind of annoy me, but i need something to put all my stuff in, so the smaller the better......it makes it harder to sneak junk food into the movie theatre though :peep:

[AlanaH]

*cough*<ahem> Movie theater??????!!!!!!!!! Tsk..tsk...

[leahmb]

so the smaller the better......it makes it harder to sneak junk food into the movie theatre though :peep: How about sneaking it into a baseball game instead? I had a huge bag-type purse that I made and I had a bag of licorice and one of swedish fish and got in no problem.

[AlanaH]

You wouldn't believe all the stuff I snuck into a game once. I had cheese sticks, a package of cooked hotdogs, and several bags of candy. It was awesome!

[leahmb]

You wouldn't believe all the stuff I snuck into a game once. I had cheese sticks, a package of cooked hotdogs, and several bags of candy. It was awesome!

I want to find a way to get drinks in! @ an M's game, no bottled things are allowed in, so they can charge lik $4/drink. I even thought of a baby bottle, but someone said they take them away if you don't have a baby.

[Babyruth]

If you hide it well enough, you can. Just wrap it in a blanket or sweater in your bag. I always bring a small back-pack to carry a blanket and extra sweater and some food, so you can just wrap the bottle in it.

[SisTrev]

better yet...just borrow your niece or nephew for the evening.....or even a neighbor kid...:)

[marichino_freedom]

cant.....they search your bags at our stadium. and the movie theatre junk is just too expensive. and kinda stale!

[leahmb]

cant.....they search your bags at our stadium. and the movie theatre junk is just too expensive. and kinda stale!

They search ours too, but I think the bag was big enought and they didn't really dig around, so they let it through.

[marichino_freedom]

i've only been to 3 games in my life...and they were all within the last year and a half! i didnt sneak anything in there just because i wanted my first stadium hot dog....cheesy, i know.
I used to go to a lot of movies, too (like in the summer) so I'd sneak pop and chips or whatever in all the time, but now i go maybe once or twice a month if that, but i still sneak in pop and a snack. like i said....too expensive for concessions

[Babyruth]

Stadium food is soooo expensive! It's ridiculous! And it's not even all that great. I don't eat hot dogs, but I do like the Ivar's clam chowder there. It's sooo good! But, we normally eat dinner before going, then just bring snacks, or buy something small and reasonably cheap.

[marichino_freedom]

the dogs arent too pricey, but sausages are terrible! so is everything else like the nachos and cheese

[Babyruth]

Yeah, they are pretty much the only thing that's reasonably cheap, the dogs. And I don't eat them, so I usually have the chowder. I like our nachos, ours are pretty good.

[marichino_freedom]

i love baseball games, but i dont go to many. however, if i lived in new york, i would have season tickets to see the yankees (they are my favorite team)

[collegegirl]

Baseball? Too slow. Now BASKETBALL...I can handle that. I went to a basketball game starring Dante Culpepper, and a couple of other bigger sports people, and that was fun. I love playing basketball. And I would LOVE to go to a football game, if it was a Gator game, of course. I would love to go to the big Florida/Florida State game. WOW! :yay: And with dad, I have gotten to meet Brady Ackerman, who is a sports announcer on the radio. Big Gator guy.

[marichino_freedom]

football games are fun....i actually watched part of the FIBA world championship for basketball: it was USA vs GREECE....now THAT was cool...greece stomped us, though

[redeemed_lizzi]

What's clam chowder??

[Babyruth]

Do you know what chowder is? If you do, it's just like potato chowder with clams in it. If you don't, it's like a think potato soup with clams. It's really good!

[AlanaH]

And Ivars makes it the best. I think we're the only state actually to have the Ivar's chain...hmmm :think:

[Babyruth]

I agree!!!! I love it!

[azurity]

Ahhh... how did we get from shoes to chowder??

[countrygurl]

Ahhh... how did we get from shoes to chowder??

I was wondering the same thing, I think it was the purses that somehow got it to chowder. I have um way to many pairs of shoes, but that doesnt seem to be enough! I'm addicted to buying them,NEVER turn me loose with a credit card in the shoe department when Im in the mood to buy stuff..I will have to count how many pairs I have tonight when I get home.:)

[AlanaH]

Purses to chowder....
It happened because we were talking about having big purses so we could sneak food into places...like M's games, then I think Ruth mentioned about their stadium having awesome chowder...something like that.

[leahmb]

Hey, since I was at home I had time to count my purses :) I have 28! Sad, but true. I try to have one of every color. After posting this, I realized that this thread is actually about SHOES, not purses, but it's better than chowder.

[AlanaH]

Except Ivar's clam chowder....LOL:)

[SisTrev]

wow...28 purses? that's unreal. I only have 2 ...one brown and one black. But i always have to carry a diaper bag with me now, so i only carry a wallet in the diaper bag instead of an actual purse. Much eaiser.

[azurity]

Aww man, that's not fair... I don't have a diaper bag!! *grin*

Nor do I have 28 purses. Wow... what do you DO with them all? I've only got one. Well, one that I use. It's brown, and I don't care if it matches everything I wear or not. It's big, so it's got everything in it... to take it all out & put it into another bag would be just painful!

Actually, I do have some other bags, but they're "old" ones that I just haven't got around to getting rid of.

As for shoes, last count I had about 10 pairs, and I reckon THAT's alot. But I've bought more since then. I just can't help it... they're so cheap at the moment! A couple of weeks ago, I bought a pair for $7. That's about US$5. And they're so comfortable, I've worn them everywhere since!!

[AlanaH]

What kind of shoe???

And yeah, changing purses is the worst for me. I mostly stick to my black one cause the pink one is a lot smaller. The black one holds every little weird thing you can possible imagine with room to spare. I love it!!!

[azurity]

They're brown, and like mules, with no heel, and really, really flat!

They're awesome, and only cost $7!! :yay:

[leahmb]

Aww man, that's not fair... I don't have a diaper bag!! *grin*

Nor do I have 28 purses. Wow... what do you DO with them all?



I use them of course :) I'm kind of a matching freak, so I switch my purse almost every day. I just dump all the contents into the other one. Often I do it while I'm driving, so I always think if someone broke into my car, b/c they saw 3 purses on the back seat, they would be sorely disappointed, b/c their all empty. Today I am using a white one, yesterday was black, Sunday was orange, Saturday was a zippered one, so I wouldn't lose anything, and friday night was a striped one to match my outfit, and friday day was yet another one....obsessive I know.

[SisTrev]

wow...that's incredible...I dont' know if I'd ever have the energy to change purses and shoes everyday to match my clothes. You must be a "superwoman". LOL

[redeemed_lizzi]

You're my kind of girl lol. I started to count mine, got to 20, lost count and couldn't be bothered start again :D. I have about 2 or three bags that I use frequently and the rest I use to mostly match my church outfits. I have used a bag and then discovered things that I thought I'd lost, or things I'd completely forgotten about-like pens, hand cream, handkerchiefs, necklaces, vouchers etc etc. Bags, shoes and jewellery mmmmm..... :). I need to find some new flat black shoes to take the place of my annihilated ones.

[blessed]

Wow ..... you all own so much bags. :D I used to be like that then I got really busy and now its just a black andbrown bag and a black & brown shoe, it goes with just about everything.

[redeemed_lizzi]

I just posted something, did it get deleted?

[SisTrev]

depends on what you posted...there is one on here from you right before blessed.....

[redeemed_lizzi]

i just said "so what happens if you're wearing a pink outfit"

[redeemed_lizzi]

i like ur avatar. she's such a cutie and is growing really fast

[SisTrev]

growing fast she certaintly is. Seems like she was just born. And now she's already 4 months old.

[AlanaH]

She's positively adorable.....sigh..I love little girls...

[Skirty]

wow...that's incredible...I dont' know if I'd ever have the energy to change purses and shoes everyday to match my clothes. You must be a "superwoman". LOL

She is, she is... lol
I gave away a bunch of purses last night, so your beating me leah :(

[blessed]

i just said "so what happens if you're wearing a pink outfit"

Well my mom has a variety of shoes... so im sure there is a pink one among them. But depending on the shade of pink the right shade of brown will go well.

[AlanaH]

That's true, and I know a lot of girls that love pink and brown together. I'm not too crazy about it personally, but I guess it works for some people.

[leahmb]

She is, she is... lol
I gave away a bunch of purses last night, so your beating me leah :(

Why didn't you give them to me?????

[Skirty]

Didn't even think of it, sorry. But I'm sure the kids I gave them to will appreciate them just as much as you, lol.

I love pink and brown together, as long as it's light pink. (simply because I look horrid in bright pink) :)

[marichino_freedom]

i LOVE pink and army green together! and green and orange. and orange and pink. and blue and purple. and i could go on for hours..... i'll stop now

[SisTrev]

orange and pink? that's a new one for me...never tried those two colors together.

[redeemed]

lol!! i have pink rubberbands on my braces and i have to use other rubber bands to hook my upper and lower jaw together, so i ofter use orange, i think it's rather cute... okay so that mighta been a little off topic but what can i say??

[marichino_freedom]

orange and pink? that's a new one for me...never tried those two colors together.


its fun to be bright!

[AlanaH]

I love orange and pink together. It was my second choice for a grad dress, but I ended up going with sea green and light pink. And that worked too. :)

[SisTrev]

braces....hummm...i remember those. I always like to go with colors on my braces that matched the upcoming holiday. Like red and green for Christmas, and pink and red and white for valentines day. Or the pastels for easter or spring. That was always fun.

[Babyruth]

I love pink and brown, as well as blue and brown.

[AlanaH]

I seem to remember Ruth doing that too....It was always neat to see what color her bands would be next.

[marichino_freedom]

i've neve had braces....:confused:

[SisTrev]

believe me...you didnt miss much...i hated having braces...but i do love my nice straight teeth.

[chocolateismybestfriend]

i've had braces for 3 and a half years, i finally got my top ones off on wednesday for good!

YAY... now i just have to wait another couple months for the bottom ones.

My teeth are stubborn like me... they dont want to move lol

Braces are painful, and give you lots of sores - but if your teeth are all over the shop the end result is well worth it. :dft010:

[azurity]

I never had them, tho a dentist told me once that I needed them. The next dentist told me it was up to me...

So, I still got an overbite, and gappy teeth. But, at least they work!

My brother had braces for 2 - 3 years, and he only ever chose grey or silver bands! It was so boring!!!

[marichino_freedom]

ive got quite an overbite, but other than that, my teeth filled in the gaps on their own..

i'm still waiting on the two wisdom teeth that i'll ever get.

the dentist said he doesnt even know if i'll get the top two (but i wont ever get any on the bottom)

[SisTrev]

LOL!!! That's funny! I'll be sure not to get in the way of your well working teeth.

[SisTrev]

:crazy: i think its funny how this thread went from shoes to teeth...

[AlanaH]

No kidding...
I never needed braces either until I got my wisdom teeth in. Then two jammed together, but not really that bad. But I would think that since my wisdom teeth are out that the other two would go back to their spots, but they haven't yet. (It's been like 3 years now)
Wondering if a regular retainer would help...I don't wanna spend money for braces just because of two teeth.

[Noe]

i wore braces. only one of my teeth ever fell out so the dentist had to extract them out (about 22 i think ) over a period of time. my teeth had just formed extra rows, so my mouth was over crowded. i have had the braces off for nearly 2yrs.
Back to the topic i only have maybe five bags/purses and like four or five sets of different kinds of footwear. i only really wear my tennishoes.

[SisTrev]

you've had 22 teeth pulled? thats incredible. Did any of them fall out on their own?

[marichino_freedom]

ouch! :012:

[AlanaH]

I've lost my baby teeth in the weirdest ways...
My mom's only pulled a few, cause one got stuck in a Skittle, two were caught in a Starburst jellybean at the same time...um....I tripped and fell in Lowe's and lost my first one on the concrete floor.....um....I ran into a bookshelf and lost one that way... I've had an interesting childhood. :)
And I've only had one pulled and that was because the new one had grown in over top of it, so the only direction it could go was flat against the roof of my mouth. But extracting it didn't hurt. (thankfully)

[Noe]

you've had 22 teeth pulled? thats incredible. Did any of them fall out on their own?

only one fell out on its own accord

[redeemed_lizzi]

only one fell out on its own accord

Ouch, ouch and ouch again.

[leahmb]

I thought I would post someone on the original topic (imagine that..) I got rid of 3 pairs of shoes this weekend. I guess I sort of came to to my senses. It was involving 3 pairs of $3 shoes from Walmart..(ok, so I have a weakness for inexpensive, cute shoes). Pair #1 was a size too small, pair #2 was never worn, and pair #3 hurt terribly, so I decided why am I keeping these?

Because they were pretty, and pain means nothing if you look good :D. By got rid of, I hope you mean you gave them away and not that u threw them away.

[leahmb]

Oh, of course not! I never can throw stuff away (another problem of mine...); I always have to find homes for my stuff. Although, sometimes I realize no one, but Salvation Army wants my junk. But these shoes got sold at a garage sale, so I actually made a few bucks, which actually makes it quite worth it, since they cost next to nothing and I held on to them for a year, it was like I "borrowed" them for a year.

'Borrowed' that is too funny. At least someone else will appreciate your amazing taste in shoes :)

[leahmb]

'Borrowed' that is too funny. At least someone else will appreciate your amazing taste in shoes :)

Oh, they will! One pair was strappy flip flops that were black w/ pink stitching, 2nd pair was seafoam flip flops w/ a faux leather box/knot, and pair 3 was brown wedge sandals with a brown flower....<sigh> Now I'm almost thinking I should've kept them...just to decorate my closet...

Oooo, they sound gorgeous. Makes me want to shop, but I am soo broke :012:

[AlanaH]

[Only One Life, Live 4 GOD]

I LOVE shoes I own about 20 pairs and I have 6 pairs that are flat BUT i NEVER wear them I love heels I love boots I LOVE coart shoes they they show my inner self...

Black, brown gold and blue oh the world doth revolve around you
You are the comfort for many feet
The tierd the sore loved and the poor this is the parody of the shoe



ok so that was real lame and what does parody meen I put it in but what exactly does it mean????

[Only One Life, Live 4 GOD]

I need a new pair of black high-heeled, high-top boots.

It means they are sensible... or maybe just tight fisted... or short of change... anyway thats not the point the point is I WANT AN ALLOWANCE lol but I do like working its so much fun and you get so many more friends and you get a chance to testify

[SisTrev]

:topicoff: but i have to ask...is that you on your avator one life? Cause if it is, you sure dont look 14.

I just bought some wonderful shoes of E-bay. I'm so excited! They're Skechers, so I looked them up online and saw them, then I tried them on at the outlet, but bought them for like half price, nearly new on e-bay...my exact size and the style I wanted out of 2 similar ones....!!!

[SisTrev]

thats what's so wonderful about ebay...getting stuff cheap...I love ebay!!:yay:

[azurity]

I need new shoes!! I need black work shoes for summer, that don't have hi heels, and don't have the toes out of them.

The ones I have now kill my feet & lower leg. They're just over an inch high... but I really need to get lower shoes.

I hate shoe shopping. Serious. I can never find anything I like for a reasonable price.

Especially when it's something in particular I NEED.

Pray for me, girls!

[collegegirl]

I need to get more closed toe shoes, cause I practically LIVE in sandals, cause I can wear them nearly year round.

And I think I am going to get me a pink and brown outfit.

[azurity]

I love pink & brown together!!

Still looking for shoes... argh, it's so painful!!! (Litterally)

They just came in the mail! It really brightened my day, because I'm not feeling 100% right now (sad, I know). They fit perfectly and only have a tiny scuff, otherwise are brand new.

I hate having to shop when I need things too; you never find them...that's why you need to continually shop, because then you find stuff when you aren't looking and have it when you need it :P

I've decided I want a pink and brown outfit too! I have a brown vest that I wear a pink shirt with that I like. But I'm thinking a skirt that is brown w/ pink polka dots and a little pink sweater would be so cute!

[redeemed_lizzi]

I so need a pair of knee high leather boots both flat and heeled. Ooo and a pair of brown ones would be nice as well-but I'll have to wait and see what my budget and the stores are sayin. I can't wait till the winter sales. I always go just a bit crazy :)

[SisTrev]

i need a pair of brown dress boots that are flat. I dont care if they are knee high or shin high, altho I'd prefer knee high. Its hard to find flat ones. ANyone know where i can get a pair for under 20 bucks. ?

[azurity]

Sorry, not in Australia, and not this time of year!!

I bought shoes!!!

Closed toe, flat, with "breathing space" and they're really cute, can wear them to work, or out casually!!

Only thing is, they weren't in my $10 price bracket. Or my $30 bracket, either.

They're only about a quarter inch high... and you know what dad says to me? "You could do without that heel, tho. They're creeping up!"

Wow. I guess he never saw me in those 1.5 inch heels (that I'm no longer wearing.)

[AlanaH]

I think almost all of my shoes...well, except for my sneakers...are 1.5- 2 inches. I just like my heels. But I only wear them to church, so it's not like I wear them constantly.

[SisTrev]

I couldn't wear heels if my life depended on it. I'm such a clutz that I'd either break or twist my ankle trying to walk in them. That's why i just stick to flats.

I only wear heels on sundays coz I know I won't be standing around for very long or walking very far. Apart from that, it's all about trainers and flat comfy shoes. I don't get those women who can walk around in 4/5/6 (or anything higher) inch heels. It looks tortureous and it can't be healthy. Bring on comfy shoes....

[marichino_freedom]

i like heels, but i dont wear them often because....well, i dont know why.

i am kindof a clutz too

and i feel too tall

Now that would be terrible. Especially those stiletto come-down-to-a-point heels. I can never wear those, no matter how short, and I don't really mind cause I don't like them anyway. I prefer block or wedge heels.

[SisTrev]

I found some!!! I checked out boots on ebay and I won a pair of brown knee high ones. They have a very small heel, so they'll work great! AND i only paid 10 bucks for them. I love ebay!!!!!

[marichino_freedom]

yay!!!! amazon is pretty good sometimes too.

[azurity]

I can't wear heels. I used to wear shoes up to 1.5 inches, but lately, they've been really killing my feet & calves. Maybe God's trying to tell me something...

Also, as a girl, I really don't need to be 5"11' or 6". So there's really no need for shoes to make me any taller than I am already!

But I'm not going to be legalistic about it anymore. No more taking a tape measure shopping, or making sure it isn't going to offend anyone else, but just wearing what I find comfy, and within my personal convictions!!

Congrats!!! That's awesome. I'm always too scared to buy shoes off ebay, because of my shoe size. I like to try shoes on first. But maybe I should give it another look.

[collegegirl]

I should check out Ebay, see what they have clothes wise. I have seen other stuff, and I should check out the clothes, just to see what they have.

[leahmb]

You could always relist them if they don't fit.

[SisTrev]

that is very true...there are several things i have bought in the last few months and didn't like it once i got them in, so i relisted them and usually always get my money back.

[azurity]

Now, that's a good idea...

I've never actually sold anything on ebay. Is it hard?

[azurity]

Just so you all know... my new shoes = comfy!!

[SisTrev]

Now, that's a good idea...

it depends on what you sell...its mostly all in how you list it...the more detail the better, as long as you dont have to spend an hour reading the discription. And pictures are a plus!!!

I dont sell a whole lot...usually just maternity and breastfeeding stuff...that's all i ever have any luck with.

[azurity]

Ummm.... well, I definately don't have any of that stuff!

Hehe.

[SisTrev]

Ummm.... well, I definately don't have any of that stuff!

Hehe.

ya i didn't figure....but you can sell anything on ebay...thats just the stuff i have the best luck at...but i have a friend who sells almost anything she list on there and makes good money. Toys, clothes, shoes, household items...you name it, she's probably sold it.

[AlanaH]

I like Ebay, but I'm too scared to buy clothes of any kind on there. Since I am so hard to fit, it more than likely would be either way too small or way too big. I prefer to know exactly what I'm getting.

[Skirty]

I am just the teensiest bit obsessed with eBay :)
I get all kinds of stuff on there... I have gotten a couple skirts, but usually i don't go for clothes.
I bought loads of hair stuff, all those rhinestone clips and just about everything else that sparkled :D
I even got a business card holder!

[AlanaH]

All I get is music and books. Mostly because they are so much less than what you would pay in the store. Sometimes though, Amazon.com is even cheaper than Ebay, so I mostly shop there. It's so much fun though...

Teensiest? I don't know if I'd call it that. :rofl:

[AlanaH]

Lol...
I would try some hair stuff, but again, I like to see what I'm buying first.

first of all, this thread has been dead a while, and secondly......amazon TOTALLY can be cheaper....i just bought a couple of things on their that normally run about 30 bucks in the stores (each) and I paid $11.20 total (for both and with shipping and handling). plus, they are brand new! (a case and charging set for ipod nano)

[AlanaH]

Oh well...dead threads can be resurrected. :)
I love Amazon. I buy 1/3 of my CDs there because they are so cheap. You just have to wait a few weeks sometimes to get them, but it's worth the wait.

[countrygurl]

Ebay.....*sigh* lol

[Only One Life, Live 4 GOD]

I hate ebay I didnt even try to buy anything but noone bought my stuff *sulks in the corner*

[redeemed_lizzi]

Ok i'm gonna go slighty off topic here, but I found these CDs that I really want. They are by the Maranatha singers and we have the tapes, but they're soooo old and they're starting to get that warped sound. The songs are brilliant and bring back soo many memeories, BUT...I can only get the CDs if I live in the States. They dont deliver overseas :012:. And Amazon and Ebay don't do the ones I want either. Oh bother :ng_thumbd

[marichino_freedom]

hmmm....never heard of them.

there is a cd on amazon i want (the Rankin Family) they are celtic folk singers.....but its 50.00 for some reason! thats a bit much

[Only One Life, Live 4 GOD]

I download some of their songs of Message music
