Shopping excursion

Went out shopping for new shoes. I visited 8 stores in 2 malls. One type of boot I'm trying to replace has a worn heel. The style is no longer made, not even anything similar. As usual, all the boots I saw look exactly alike. Black or brown tall, shiny smooth leather/vinyl, 2-3 inch heel, with side zipper. Then a shorter version of said boot style. I saw a few flat heel boots in leather and suede with the push down look (I like the push down look). I did get excited over a purple suede knee-high flat heel slide-on boot that I saw in a magazine (rarely do I find shoes in magazines in my part of the country since we are always behind in fashion trends) also coming in other colors, but I don't wear the knee-high boots I have now so I passed them by. Knee-high boots don't wear well with jeans, it needs a short skirt that I hardly have reason to wear.

I saw very colorful snowboots that mostly looked alike in style, like Uggs. I did see a few different styles in snowboots, zipper, slide-on, tie-on, and various colors in pastels and winter color palettes. Youth women's snowboots looked like wrong colored animal skin patterns (like pink crocodile) or abstract art. I thought they were very cute, for my nieces.

The dress shoes were dull vinyl/leather black, brown, red, toe cover with exposed strappy heel, and 2-3 inch inch heels. I style I like but I have enough dress shoes at the moment. One cute shoe I almost bought until I saw the price. Too high for me. I saw a few sandal-like short heel strappy dress shoes in silver and white for formal school dances, but not very many. Someone must have taken climate lessons in shoes fashion school, we like our feet covered in winter snow and refuse to walk in 3 inch heels on slick ice.

Sneakers were mostly white with color spots, except for the youth women's shoes that had wild abtract art splashed on. Converse and slip-on styles were popular sight. One converse I saw had wool padding inside.

Casual shoes were more varied. There were clogs of smooth leather or wool padded inside. I actually saw Crocs with wool padding inside. I saw smooth leather slip-on shoes resembling the boots in their plain look. I saw oxfords in the same style of the boots plain look. I bought a pair of oxford black shoes to replace the other oxford black shoes that has worn toe. But the first pair I saw was too highly priced so I got the knock offs at another store. Then got the store credit card and got them half off.

Later, Bye!
