Formerly white high-top [Chuck Taylors](http://www.converse.com/store/productimages/M7650_220.jpg). Badly worn, one shoestring broken and then tied back together. Soles still holding to rest of shoes, so far. ---

Right now I’m barefoot. I take my shoes off at the door. My shoes are adidas…“Team”, it says on top. U.S. size 14. Black. Most probably basketball shoes. ---

I’m currently wearing white Tretorn sneakers, with striped angora socks. Earlier, though, it was my big honkin’ black boots that I’m trying to break in. ---

OK, transformation time. Donning a pair of Bass Weejuns, burgundy, polished for the first time since new on Christmas Eve. No socks. The left shoe squeaks. ---

No shoes. Just the hobbit-like jair covering my feet and toes. Man, we can work the LOTR into **any** thread, can’t we? ---

Stone ridge ankle height, steeltoe boots size 5 black, they are my all purpose do everything kind of shoe. I have too many shoes. ---

Hi-tech, grey leather with grey fabric panels, yellow and black lace loops, and grey laces. Three pieces of gravel in the tread of the left shoe; one piece in the tread of the right. I checked my email as soo as I came in the door, and then drifted over to SDMB… ---

6-Hole Docs, low-rise, steel toes. Had to order’em special from the UK. I got a pair of Bass sandals from the DSW for 8.00, and even though my wife thinks they look like corrective footwear, they’re comfy. ---

Vans, womens’ size 7.5, pale gray suede lace-ups with yellow and white accents. They’re a bit beat up but incredibly comfortable. Socks are black and white horizontal stripes, black toe and ankle, with Spongebob Squarepants on the cuff. ---

Right now, white socks with little parrots all over them. I just took off my lavendar bowling shoes/sneakers. So pretty. Either from L.L. Bean or Land’s End, I can’t tell because the soles are kind of worn, and I don’t remember. And my best friend just gave me a pair of bright pink sneaker clogs, which are sadly about half a size too small. I’ll exchange then, and then all will be good in my world. ---

[http://www.boot.com/bwfire.htm](http://www.boot.com/bwfire.htm) Mine are 5 years old & I’ve removed the fringes. I had them resoled for the first time a couple months ago. I used to wear red Wings, but Wescos actually outlast them. ---

Classic Nylite Canvas Style Tretorns, pink on white. Old. Broken in. Comfy. I have no idea why I’m wearing them. I’m in bed. ---

Slippers. Sky blue, fuzzy, little bit of glittery stuff on 'em. Rather comfy they are. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-shoes/145235.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-shoes/145235.md?page=3)
