So Lady Steed and I were going through some of my old trunks yesterday and we found my old blue mesh shoes. I bought these . . . a long time ago. A friend of my sister's, her parents were shutting down their shoe store and my brother decided to go to the big sale and buy some steel-toed boots. I found these sweet shoes for four bucks and was going to buy them, but they just through them in for free with the boots.
Tragically, the shoes didn't fit that well and they never got much foot time. But guess what? They fit now! I'm so glad I kept them! They are, say it with me, awesome.
The weird thing is Lady Steed's disdain towards them. She wants me to toss them. Or at least to never wear them in her presence.
Please use the comments section of this post to inform her of your shock and amazement that she does not love these shoes with the love they deserve.
Keep it clean!
They do look good with orange, I'll give you that.

ReplyDeleteI have to say, I agree with Lady Steed. Sorry. =)

ReplyDeleteIn these shoes defense, I should point out that their pointy toes are not "in" right now (these days people seem to prefer square-toed clown shoes), but that trend will surely come back around. It's one of those cyclical things.
Pointy toes in or out, I'm with Lady Steed. Sorry Theric!!
ReplyDeleteI think you should wear them with shorts and socks that come up to mid calf. That would be sweet.

ReplyDeleteYou people.
I think what you have here is a lot of people who are afraid to stand up to Lady Steed and her graphic design degree. Don't let the conformists weaken your resolve!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Mr. Fob. I shan't.
After getting over my astonishment at how large those shoes seem (and I'll grant, that's probably a bad case of the pot calling the kettle black since one of my family nicknames is "Sasquatch" for my not-dainty, highly unladylike feet), I'd have to agree with Lady Steed as well.
ReplyDeleteI just can't imagine any world where those shoes would look cool. Sorry.
I think they look like shoes from the 1980's--for women. Yup. Women's shoes.
ReplyDeleteSome part of me wants you to keep wearing them...and posting pictures of you wearing them...
Dear Lady Steed,
ReplyDeleteI am shocked and amazed that you do not love these shoes with the love they deserve. I cannot believe that you want to toss them or at least never allow Theric to wear them in your presence.
The love they truly deserve is a ritualistic bonfire to mark their demise. Especially considering how overdue their demise is. Honestly, I can't think of a time when they weren't in demise.
Oh.
ReplyDeleteMy son, Adam, says, "EEEWWWW!"
I will grant that these shoes seem far more comfortable to wear than they do to look upon. My eyes hurt already. Maybe with a darker sock... nah, probably not. The pose you make with them in your first shot improves way they look... but doesn't save them. If you can't throw them away at least relegate them to squashing bugs and wearing at the beach.

ReplyDeleteI'd like to call your attention to the fact that on July 3 at 1:30, twice at 1:31, and again at 1:32 four of your readers felt enough need to vomit at your shoes to say so in creative ways. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteLady Steed would be wise to steal them away in the night and beat some fashion sense into you with them on the morrow.

ReplyDeleteI think what you're all forgetting is that we are not talking about a normal human wearing these shoes, but me. I'm afraid you may not be taking this fact into consideration. (?)
Ahem. I've not forgotten that fact. I wouldn't wear them myself, but I 100% support you wearing them. Theric makes his own fashion.
ReplyDeleteI'm not. Hence my hope that you'll keep wearing them...and posting pictures...
ReplyDeleteWhat brand are they? I need to get me some of those!
ReplyDeleteThose shoes rule.

I'd love them in green, actually.
I have to admit that if anyone could pull them off it would have to be you.
ReplyDeleteTheric, you really need to buy a pair of these shoes. They're a party waiting to explode... all over your feet!

ReplyDeleteWow. Those are sweet. The high school kids would love me in those.
