temporary switch from sneaks to boots

[cimorene]

Hi fleeps and dweeps! Fall is in the air: in my climate, time to make sure you have some shoes warmer (and more waterproof) than sneakers around before it starts snowing. So for the next little while I will be posting fall and winter boots instead of sneakers daily. It's not permanent, or anything. Probably I'll get bored after a while and start mixing sneakers in. We'll see.

Shoe consultant reminder! Got a shoe quest in mind? Need help navigating the ropes of shoe-shopping on the Internet? Drop me a comment and I'll happily spend some of my weekly shoe-store-browsing time budget on you instead of, uh, just aimlessly like usual, haha. Just because I'm sort of philosophically opposed to heels doesn't mean I don't look at them, save pictures of them and occasionally admire them. (It does mean I don't wear them and probably can't talk about their comfort or fit though.)

I wear:
These boots all the year except when it's too hot, a pair of running shoes specially fitted for my overpronating feet when I'm exercising, and the Birks on this page when it's too hot for boots. If it helps to know what socks I'm wearing, they're purple and black striped with little skulls on them.

Shoe consultant, tell me: am I Doin It Rong or does it just go with my outfit (jeans and a very sloppy hoodie from ThinkGeek, or a flannel shirt.)

In general I am against wearing socks with sandals, but Birkenstock Arizonas are sometimes an exception. Although this sounds like you never wear anything less warm than a flannel shirt and also like you wear the same socks all the time? I'm just a bit confused there. If you had to have just one pair of socks those sound pretty great.

Anyway, I think those boots and sandals definitely project the "flannel and jeans" air.

I wear t-shirts and no socks in summer. And I tend to wear the same pair of socks until they fall apart. Thank you.

Oh good: t-shirts! Personally, I tend to wear t-shirts even in the winter because I'm addicted. I just wear them over long shirts and usually they never even emerge because I don't take my sweaters and hoodies off.
