Shoes

I will be the first to admit that I am not a shoe person.  We used to refer to my mother as "Imelda Moncrief" because she l-o-v-e-d shoes and probably had more that 50 pairs. She wore a 9 narrow so there was no chance of any of her daughters wearing them.

When Beth was little, she'd say to my mother, "Nanny, can I play with your shoes?"  My mother always said yes with a follow up of "Please put them away when you're done."  She always did and that's why my mom always said yes.  I think Beth may have inherited my mother's love of shoes - but not me.  My feet do not like fancy shoes.  I wear clogs and running shoes and hiking boots - and yes, I have a pair of crocs that I wear around the house. I own a few pairs of nice shoes, but they just aren't all that comfortable.  My feet long for comfort and so I've resigned myself to the clogs.  However, for  a couple of years now, I've been checking out the shoes on the Re-Mix Classic Vintage Shoes site.  Here are some that I think I can actually wear or would like to try to wear:

Okay, well they may not be that fancy, but I think they look pretty comfortable.  I can even order up a pair of flannel-lined jeans to go with them - but maybe that's just taking it a bit too far!

I used to wear my grandmas shoes too. I like the first pair, red is a great color on ones foot.

The best would be when we would go shopping and Nanny would always say "I need a new pair of black shoes". Every time. No shoe gene here either. I either wear sneakers or flip flops, and I have one pair of dress shoes and one pair of dress sandals (both black by the way).
