Sometimes I have to ask myself what people are thinking.
This is one of those times.

Are these not socks with soles attached?

$150.00 a pair and me saving up for a new low angle plane!

ARRRRRGH!

I think the real cost is in the buttonss. It’s not cheap changing the word UGLY to UGG.

A guy could always store his planes in them.

Trifern, the buttons are apparently “Wood”

Sounds like a good deal to me, not. I wouldn’t give 30.00 for a pair much less 150

They are currently advertised on Cnet webware weekly.
I suppose that’s a good place to sell them given the tinkerbells programming today. <g>

Karson, we have shoes like that up her but they are called Muk Luks.
Odie, you’re such an eye for fashion.

Mot you should get a pair for those fancy planes of yours!

Ms Debb, I know all I need to know about shoes.. I Need TWO (2), preferably matching, with good support, and while at work, Steel Toes. Everything else is just extra. What else is there to worry about?

Would you believe Cnet’s Webware.com?

It’s supposed to be a technology news site but I am having second thoughts about who they are appealing to.

Hi Bob;

famous words from a man: “all I need is two pair of shoes”... let’s see.. there are: the good runners, the yard runners, the rubber boots, the hunting boots (spring), the hunting boots (winter), the hip waders, the chest waders, the casual dress shoes, the suit and tie dress shoes, the sandals, the “those old things are my favourite—they are so comfortable”, the slippers, .. hmmm did I miss any?? .. oh, the steel toed shoes.

that would be 13 pairs of “that’s all I need” shoes for men.

Ms. Debbie. I fish the river here and don’t need waders. Lowest water temp here in mid winter is in the 70s. I’m too old to run and to cheap to go anywhere that requires “DRESS SHOES”. LOL.

Since I’m not working outside the home much I don’t need as many shoes as I used to (haha.. I just noticed that I typed “need”) but I do still enjoy shoe-shopping. All the other clothing shopping can end up with a bruised self-esteem as the not-so-pretty parts are accentuated.. but shoes: they are always flattering :D

hmm maybe I should go shoe-shopping today :D
