shoe consultation shopping for OTHER people

[cimorene]

I would love to set up a free Personal Shoe Shopper thingy. I mean, I'm always seeing people in the wrong shoes and knowing where they could find the right ones, because one of my hobbies is obsessively checking the new shoe offerings by brands and in boutiques (my favourites are UK shops Shuh and Treds, and also Office, but only for browsing, because their shipping prices are so exorbitant I would never actually consider paying them). So like, people could say, "Cim, I need a comfortable but appropriate business casual shoe that I can jog in!" or "Cim, what in the world should I wear to a wedding next summer?" or "Cim, I need a pair of shoes combining smartness, preferably with a low heel, and comfort." And then I would solve their problems! It's nice to dream. There just aren't enough shoe-buying tasks in my OWN life to satisfy me.

What, not even other New Balance shoes? That's not very reliable of them! :|

Although honestly, I doubt other Aerosoles shoes are as delicious-feeling as my prized bowling mocs.



Not that those are dressy...

How cute are those shoes! I also like the floral ones you posted. My feet are jealous.

Well, I don't own the floral ones, but the Bowling Mocs are very comfortable (much more so than your average sneaker - they're incredibly lightweight and springy).

My personal sneaker collection includes gold metallic on white (http://cimness.livejournal.com/2572581.html), the red tweed ones above, Marimekko apple print (http://cimness.livejournal.com/2509331.html), velcro-strap Vans with butterfly-winged skulls (http://pupe.ameba.jp/item/xHpBgAl1aYYu/ixSmIcl1j5ec/), red plaid (http://cimness.livejournal.com/2536559.html), and camel cable-knit (http://img.pupe.ameba.jp/image/item/s/3Eoe2pd-uelI.jpg).
