[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I am shoe shopping. I need new basic shoes for work, and DH gave me a gift certificate to Zappos.com, so...
Unfortunately, I have annoying feet. They are hard to fit (wide toe, narrow heel, low arches, this weird knobby bit on top that means any shoe that covers my whole foot as opposed to just my toes has to be adjustable, as in some kind of lace or buckle), and I wear custom orthotics.
So, be warned, these aren't pretty shoes. I'm looking for a practical brown or black shoe that'll go with almost anything. Here are the candidates:
Thoughts?

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
From Laga's link at 418, the chap staying at home:
When asked whether he also had another relationship, he said: "I hate to be discourteous but I think that's our business."
A damn sight more polite than the response I'd give. Which is one reason everyone should be glad I'm not famous.

Susan, I like the first ones best.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I agree with Gloomcookie on the zappos choices.

Nora, I'm so sorry.
Oh, dear, Susan. You have my feet. Did you see these?
I've found that shoes with elastic are more comfortable than shoes that tie.

Ginger, I looked at a bunch of those, but I've had the opposite experience--the ones with the elastic usually don't have enough give in the right places to avoid making the weird knobby spot hurt.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Susan, have you ever tried Clarks? I have freaky toes, wide ball and narrow heels. They have a wide selection on Zappos and I've loved every pair I've had--and they're EXTREMELY comfortable.
Plus, for comfy shoes, they come in some fairly pretty styles.

I have bone spurs on the tops of my feet, and I have trouble making the laces looser right there. If a shoe comes up high on the foot and has elastic, it works pretty well. The tops of the feet thing is the hardest part to fit by mail order.

I looked at some of the Clarks, but the ones I like are above the limit I'd set of the amount of my gift certificate plus $X cash that I can spend without going broke between now and my next payday. And since I don't want to break a New Year's resolution on January 1 and one of mine is "don't buy anything you can't pay cash for unless it's a truly dire emergency"...
