What are your shoe and boot preferences?


There are too many styles it seems for one's budget!

My preference is for strappy 3" heels but finding suitable ones in my size is a nightmare! I just don't have the same level of choice as some of you lucky ladies. I am one measly size away from being able to access all sorts of nice footwear but I doubt I will get much smaller, I have already dropped from UK size 12 to size 10

My favourite footwear at the moment is a pair of wedge heel sandals, a pair of pink sketchers trainers and a pair of 2.5" stilletto heeled ankle boots. I wish I could get into knee highs but I have chunky calves at the moment.

I wear a lot of flip flops, standard wear in Florida. I'm looking at some ankle boots for the 2 weeks of winter we get. Being near 6' I stay away from real high heels, besides I'm a US woman's size 12 my choices get limited at times

It really depends on the outfit. Almost all my outfits have a specific footwear choice. I like Mary Janes a lot and my ankle boots. Mary janes sing innocence and ankle boots sing attitude. So often depends if im feeling fierce or cute.

Even when you're fierce, you're still cute

Comfortable is the thing I  like most. Have a pair of flat black Chelsea boots and a pair of hiking boots.
Gave up heels in my early 50s. Cellulitis,a burned leg in an accident, leg ulcer meant I would be using a walking stick.

Oh yes, the Mary Jane's.  I have one with an ankle strap.  I do not wear that one much though.  Not to work.  Nice with white socks with ruffled tops of the socks, or no socks.  I wonder if I should give that one away but they are cute with the right outfit and my sweetie says that she likes them. 

Enjoy yours!
