and i just discovered this link : http://barefooters.org/ ;)

Prema,

Tried it before, in Melbourne in summer. Had blisters and cuts.. didn't do it the smart way.. hehe..

I love heels, but wearing them out in public makes me self-concious at times cause I tend to "strut" in them. My hips sways "lain macam", I walk slower than usual, and I'll cross my legs unnecessarily, like they do on the runways. BUt love them, nonetheless. Here's my latest buy, oh and if you're wondering why I take pictures of my shoes, it's to put outside of the shoe box so I know where to look for a particular pair :D

Oh.. and I got them at 75% off. Never buy anything at retail ppl!

Sexy heels - I go by the philosophy that a girl can never have enough shoes. My knees go weak when I walk into the shoe department at Barney's and Otto Tootsie Plohound, they have the best selection and burn gigantic holes in your wallet.

BTW Freud - nice shoes!

My what a luxury!!! BTW what is that thing beside the upright shoe? A bag? A pouch? The other shoe? If you can afford it now, honey, JUST GET IT! You'll regret later! (Speaking from experience)

until i got a long long dress,i never realised how to walk without bouncing so much when using heels.

now, trying to glideeeeeeeeeeeeeee... heck, it's not easy, even with a book. got a neck strain believe it or not! even without the book!

i had been trying to look for school shoes online but the one i get shows only a few shoes. i like wearing school. 2 months ago bought one in singapore, carried it all the way back penang, then discovered in penang, it was RM10 cheaper! argh!

i like imported shoes like hush puppies and bonia but unfortunately since my feet is so small, most imported shoes does not have my size. :(

Lucia,

dun tell me you are size 3??? sigh.

Google is amazing, isn't it?

Only last week one of my lecturers caught a student plagiarising a substantial part of his essay by keying in phrases that didn't seem quite right into Google.

Well woman, you know what I think about those shoes.... and I still maintain that you should try them out because they look decidedly uncomfortable.

:)

yeah, nappa leather is not known to be comfy..

Lucia - think Bonia n Hush Puppies are imported brands but dont think they're imported shoes. In car speak, they'll say it's assembled locally.

Why do girls need a new shoe every month?

oh well.. have you guys heard of Jukebox?

(obviously a male).

Google gonna go public!!!

tracy, spot on! i'm size 3. sometimes though it is size 4... it all depends on the made of the shoes.

well hanif, i guess even if bonia and hush puppies are locally made, they'll be made to suit the imported ones... therefore no size 3! :(

PK,
I remember it vaguely... if it's shoes you're talking about. My sister had a pair and this was way back in 1993.

ouch

size 3? is that the sama size as Frodo's feet?

Najah,
Pls visit my blog. I posed a nyonya shoes's picture there.

and i'm just a little bit taller than frodo. :)
(don't worry though, me no midget)

Although I belong to the same gender, I can never quite understand how most women feel the need to shop for shoes ever so often? I mean hey, get a black pair and you can just about match it with anything! No?

Dear All,

FYI, it's not a new shoe every month. I do a fair bit of walking and I wear out my shoes, mainly because I don't rotate them - once I have my favourites, it sticks for the next couple of months.

I used to be able to keep my shoes for 2 years, when I was studying in Melbourne. I guess the local pavements and the weather are much harsher on shoes.

Shoes, glorious shoes, owning 10 pairs does not seem enough, I wonder when will my passion for black shoes ends? anybody care to help me out!!

I have to say this (lah). That is some NICE pair of shoes, kudos to that. Gettit. Now. Doit. ;)

You can increase the life of your shoes by:
1) Rotate your shoes daily. By doing so, it gives time for the shoes to dry because the feet produce a lot of sweat.
2) Use a wooden shoe tree, it helps to absorb water from the shoe, reshape it and iron out the wrinkles.
2) "Tampal" a sole before you use them, the cobbler will know what to do (cost abt RM2 ?). You can replace the sole when it's worn out.
3) Polish your shoes before wearing them, it helps to protect the skin, esp from scratches.
4) If the shoe cost a bomb, go bare-footed if it rains. :) heh heh

Tampal a sole for RM2? What? Where? Which cobler?!! I send my new shoes for tampal at Suria, all about RM20++....

Of course it depends on what type of soles used...
