I'm just glad I'm able to wear my shoes again, after a year in sneakers. Ah, Danskos and Tevas!

How hard is it to resole shoes?
Take to shoe repair. Drop off. Pick up.
Not hard at all.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Yay My Birthday!
Thank you all for the wishes.
I woke to the sonic booms from the shuttle - thought they were thunder.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not hard at all.
I thought about that for the character shoes, but the soles they have are part of the comfort. And if they're fragile, I'm not going into the ownership process knowing I'm going to have to get soft soles put on regularly -- I expect a pair of shoes to need resoling no more often than every three or four years. And even then...

move out and draw fire
I've had several pairs of shoes resoled. Wasn't a big deal.
Aerosoles feel good at first, but one of the most uncomfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned was Aerosoles. I may have gotten the wrong size, but the footbed was too small all the way around so the edge of it dug into my foot, while at the same time my foot slid around in the shoe, causing blisters.
I seem to be looking at Fluevog, Magdesians, Rockport, and Ros Hommerson.
The ones I got from Zappo's are both comfortable and pretty.
Good to know.
I don't think that character shoe soles would hold up too well for everyday wear
Also good to know.

Such a little house, yet so much can go wrong on any given day.
Nora has just summed up home ownership in a single sentence.
I think it's been at least 10 years since I bought dress shoes. I haven't worn a dress or skirt since 1998, when I started my own business. One of the many reasons I wanted to leave corporate America was that the shoes hurt my feet.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I have a new Debet Original tiara with the Leo glyph on it.
I'm glad it got there in a timely manner!
wrt Character shoes: Have you looked into any sort of non-skid-type things you could put on the bottom that might help with reducing the wearing?

I did not know that these existed -- do you have more details so I could froogle?
