My current pair of shoes are pretty much worn out. The inners have holes and the foam rubber is escaping, and even the shoelaces are just plain worn.

I bought these a little under a year ago and have worn them pretty much every time I wore shoes. My feet are other than good - cute shoes and sandals are out - so there's not much point in me having more than one pair.

Even when I went to Zappos, all the shoes/boots that I wanted were not in stock in the sizes and/or the colors I wanted.

On a whim, I went to my old favorite, Easy Spirit. And I found exactly what I wanted - ankle-high lace up bootees in black leather, on major sale. So. I decided to look for boots, too. I wanted a pair of high boots with low heels. And I found them, at a good price in my size in brown leather.

Two pairs of shoes suitable for shul and work. Wow. This is luxury. (If the boots fit, I mean. My calves are on the wide side.)

I thought about those. Since I don't actually care how dorky I look - I've been known to wear black tights and white sneakers - they are a possibility. But I am victorious. :)

There are actually some really cute Earth shoes nowadays, actually. The "Solar" are particularly cute and look good with skirts. Really, Earth shoes, though crunchy, have come a long way in terms of fashion since the 70s.
