Morning all. Gettin' dressed here & about to put my shoes on.

Do you think, what you wear on your feet, influences how others react to you?

Black leather boots today. The trainers are tooooooooooo smelly

not sure tbh 

Only thing about the boots is, I don't wear them enough, so even though they're a year old, they're still a bit hard, will be glad to get out of them by the end of the day no doubt.

Trainers are so comfy but I think they've gotta go. RIP 

i think trainers become a habit don't they 

I got horrified (i mean, totally disgusted lol) looks off a gaggle of 14 year olds when I bought my last pair in the Trafford Centre. Don't think they approved of the brand 

Couldn't give a fig myself as long as they're comfy 

when we were issued with new leather boots in the fire service, the best way to make them comfy was to sit in the bath with them on and give them a good soaking, keep them on wet for the rest of the day and they would dry to the shape of your foot, they could be worn all day then almost like slippers.

have your trainers gone past the washing machine treatment Argie, I've rescued mine out of the bin (where Mrs Lurks had chucked them) many times and washed them, .............well I love them.

i can still remember my dad rubbing vasaline, into the inners of our new shoes, so they wouldn't rub our heels 

Many people have told me over the years that the best way to soften boots is to p*ss on them (take 'em off first obviously). Don't know if it works coz I've never tried it - not keen on smelling like a public toilet every time I wear them 

I love my trainers, they are comfy

I never really notice peoples shoes but I know the girl I work with always notices and can be quite critical lol

Although I do notice them crocs which are nasty pieces of footwear

Got to agree with on the Crocs, Blue..totally yuck!

I am one of those who do notice footwear, i always think if you look after your shoes etc., then you look after everything else you wear....and that you like to be smart.   Dont get me wrong i know the best ones are the tatty ones, coz they are comfy....but not the ones for work or a lunch out,  or shopping trip.

I just think when the footwear looks good, you've took time to think about them.  MInd you they can cost you a fortune, so you need to get the best from them.
I just love shoes, boots etc.....and bags....

Pity I cant walk in half of them

dont get me on shoes i have 34 pairs last count 9 pairs boots 1 pair trainers (in case i ever want tolook like i've been the gym)!

the higher the better, both times i've been in labour theyve had to drag my 3inch heels off me goota love the new ones with a platform inbuilt too, mind u that may be part of the reason my backs gone lol x

Dixie, huni...so not going to count my shoes..etc....have some from before my daughter was born,,,,,and she 19...all in shoe boxes...

Best of it..my daughters inherited my obsession....killer heels!!

can never have too many shoes and i never mind going up a size x

I don't have many pairs of shoes but would love to be able to wear high heels.....i regularly gaze longingly at heels but I just cannot wear them.....and I have a fetish for high heel boots too

i wud love a pair of thigh high pvc boots u know julia roberts pretty woman type, but as only 5ft1 there too high lol
