shoes

1. Via Via "101649" in Brown.
   
   NOTES: I want these for the Ronja Rövardotter costume that I didn't know I needed until I saw them. Or maybe like a genderbending Robin Hood meets Legolas costume? Wouldn't that be great? Just - just look at their little RIBBONS, okay? Also: If the shoes have a number instead of the name that usually means you can't afford to ask for the price. I don't usually download pictures of shoes in that price category - these came from Zappos, which carries every brand from Chinese Laundry to like, couture high fashion and handmade Italian stuff - but I fell in love with these, as previously mentioned. Not that I actually am considering buying them, I just wanted to share them so everyone else could enjoy the same sorts of fantasies.



2. Bronx "BX083" in Red
   
   Note that the thing about numbers doesn't apply to Bronx. I have no idea why they did that either. They usually have style names.



3. Timberland "Ekapley Chelsea WP" in Brown
   
   I remember when I was in high school and Timberland really only made one style of plain brown hiking boots - nice ones, granted, and rather smart looking for hiking boots. I don't long for those days as some of their modern styles are really lovely, but I do wish they'd dial down the pretension in their naming department.

I haven't told my shoe followers yet that I ordered a pair of 8-hole red patent Dr Martens - my second pair of Docs along with my Vondas, the most perfect and adorable boots in existence - and when I wore them to my Finnish class on Friday two different classmates, including Ukrainian Natalia Who I'm Secretly Convinced Is RL Black Widow, asked me where I got them (and Daoprakai asked me if they come in pink patent as well, which they do, but I forgot to tell her the Finnish stores don't carry them in pink so you'd have to order them from England or Germany). Since 2009 I've been wearing my Docs literally every single day all winter, typically from something like October to April, and they were starting to be a little worn so I feel justified in getting a second pair to share the burden.

Timberland may have gone through some phases, I got some nice shoes and boots when I was in high school, but the top of their heel last was too curved for my feet and I'd get horrible blisters.
