We're women. We need a shoe general. Duh.

Where do you get your shoes from? What's your favorite pair? Etc.

I'll get things going.

I need some shoes for winter. I don't like boots or sneakers and it's seeming impossible to find some warm…REGULAR shoes. Idk what I want, just what I don't want, I suppose. Any ideas? I'm willing to pay like in the $80-$100 range.

I know you said you don't like boots but would you consider booties? Something like attached? It's just hard to think of a good winter regular shoe that covers up your foot enough. I'd think you'd still end up cold. Idk, maybe loafers? As long as you're wearing long pants to cover the tops you can wear socks with them.

I bought a pair Mary Jane docs online and they do fit, almost too perfectly. My ankle rubs up against the back so painfully I can't walk it them at all. I'm trying to wear them around the house in thick socks, but that's painful too. Does anyone have experience in getting their shoes stretched or breaking them in?

No. 140968

>>140966
Those are cute, but I don't like heels all that much. Even small ones. Loafers couldbwork if I get some long socks, I guess. I love those Oxford shoes, but all of the ones I've ever had are thin so they only work as a summer shoe.

Have you tried shopping at Modcloth? They actually have a loafer/oxford section.

I have seen flat booties before but it can be hard to find some that don't look like Uggs.

I have small feet so if I want anything cute, I wear kid's shoes as much as I'm embarrassed to admit it. Everything else fits uncomfortable unless they're boots. Could just be the brands sold at the shoe stores in my area. If I want a nice pair of heels I order them from antaina. They have lots of cute stuff on there.

I've been thinking of buying some doc martens 1460's for the winter, but after lurking in various forums everyone seems divided but leaning on the opinion that the quality has gone to the shitter, that the leather is too thin now, and you are better buying something similar or the made in england line which i'm too much of a poorfag to afford.
Any farmers that got a new pair recently? Is the quality really THAT bad? Any other options with similar style/price range?

No. 140975

>>140974
I agree that doc martens haven't got a leg to stand on when it comes to their lifetime guarantee anymore but saying that, I got a pair of DM Flora's last year and they still look pretty brand new.
If you take care of them and wax them/replace the laces/get the soles re-done when needed DMs still could last you years. They're not as good as they were but still better than anything else "fashionable" you can pick up.

OP/first poster here; how comfortable are snow boots? Like, insulated, waterproof, winterized, etc. It doesn't snow where I live, but it gets so cold. I would definitely consider these type of boots. Do most people only wear them for when they're "outdoors-ing?" I'll be wearing them as every day shoes.

I have small feet so shoe buying is very difficult for me.
I'm about a size 3.5 US but depending on the shoe sometimes size 4 or even 5 fits.


I typically have to get all of my shoes online. I recently discovered ASOS and it's been like a shoe wonderland for me. They have size 4's for a decent price and they're all SO CUTE. Pic related, current favorite pair.

I also have a pair just like this from American Eagle in size 5 but AE shoes often run small. So if you also have small feet I definitely recommend checking out ASOS and AE.

So my favorite boots broke last fall and I need to buy new ones that look similar. They were cheap and from a street market in Korea so I'm not exactly sure what the specific style is called. But they are similar to combat boots (pic related) but shorter (since my calves are big). I'd also like it to be higher quality but around $50. Does anyone have any suggestions?

In Asos there is a very similar pair called "ancros" (pic related), they are 68 dollars right now, but you might get them cheaper since they are always putting up sales around this time.
Never had a problem with asos quality as far as shoes go, had a pair of combats boots from them for 4 years and still going strong with 0 repairs.

YesStyle has a lot of boots of the exact same style ranging from 20 dllars to the hundreds, but their quality is absolute shit 99% of the time, unless you get lucky.

Not sure where you're located but buying online is going to be your best bet. A brief search popped up these sites.


http://isybshoes.com/ Is a database that will search for shoes in your desired size range. Since it caters to women who have larger feet and still want cute shoes you'll probably get some good finds.

I found a cheap pair of shoes with this style, maybe about three in heels. And as much as I love them I hate how everyone has to point out how tall they make me. I'm 5'9 so already on the taller side.
Any other tall anons deal with this? I never understood the big deal. While not all of them are like this, some make it seem like it's horrible to make myself taller than I already am. Not only does it make me stand up straight, which makes my back hurt less, it makes my legs look less chubby.
How do you even reply to people pointing out the obvious??

Aliexpress, sometimes taobao. But I'm not sure if it suits broke anons, I only do it because I can afford the possibility of the shoes not fitting or falling apart within a week. It's worth it though, because sometimes I get lucky and they fit perfectly and last me ages. It's great because they have cute styles you rarely find in real stores. Pic related are some I've bought that ended up being comfy and getting worn a lot even though they're not necessarily good quality.
