Friday I had to go downtown. For those of
you who have had the privilege of driving downtown with me, you know that it is
not my preferred mode of transportation. So, I have been learning how to get downtown and back home on public transport.
Friday afternoon - with at least 20 minutes to kill before the bus that would whisk me north arrived, I happened to notice an
Aerosoles store. I figured I'd just pop in and see what's new.
I tend not to wear black and nice brown shoes aren't that easy to find. I also tend to purchase cheap shoes and wear them to death. Consequently all my brown pumps look horrible and aren't worth repairing.
I brought 3 new pairs of brown pumps home with me. They are cute, comfortable and didn't break the bank. I was also able to eliminate 4 pairs of brown shoes from my closet, so everybody wins, right?
The Mary Jane style shoe is called Out of Controle and I can't find in on the website any longer. Just your basic pumps with three tiny little straps going across the top of the foot.
The spectator style pump is
Roleplay and I'm tempted to go get them in gray too - but there's that whole "don't wear a lot of black" thing.
I also picked up a
pair of brown sandals called Katapult. So - I should be able to manage walking downtown with little to no pain in my feet now.

It's always a good day when new shoes enter your life. Three pairs at once? The stars are smiling on you! The Mary Janes are especially cute!
ReplyDeleteI tend to buy shoes in bunches like that. I'll go forever with nothing new then come home with three or four pair. I wish I had bought the ones I'm wearing in every color. They're the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.
ReplyDeletecute shoes!! and you are SUCH a good Seattle-girl, taking public transportation! buschick would be soooo proud of you!!

those are cute!! i like aerosoles, but they don't make them in my size anymore. :(
ReplyDeleteNice! Glad you were able to find the style you like.
ReplyDeleteShoe shopping must be in the air today or maybe it is the "back to school" thing (although I am out of school, for a lone while now ;),I can't seem to break the habit. Anyhow I bought a new pair of walking sneakers and a pair of Thom McAn loafers for the office. Comfy!
I might have to hunt down Roleplay in my size. Those are awesome!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shoes! Those are the styles that I normally lean towards, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, it may not be your preferred method of getting downtown, but you didn't even need to call your lifeline after a couple of times. Public transport is good though, saves the gas money, wear and tear on your car (though we wouldn't want the lifeline to run out of stuff to do), but best of all, it gives you dedicated knitting time!
