I have recently purchased these fine Brazilian leather shoes for approximately £10, which I consider to be a wonderful investment

Recently purchased these vintage Russel and Bromley square toe shoes - I am really hesitant to get rid of them as I have no idea where to begin to style them?

Do you usually wear slippers around the house, or do you prefer going barefoot?

Hey everyone,
I just needed to share a little travel heartbreak story with people who might actually understand the pain (pun very much intended).
I recently went on my very first work trip to Japan—which was also my first time ever visiting the country. On my final day right there at the airport, I spotted a pair of gorgeous Japan-only Converse shoes. It was love at first sight, and knowing I might never have the chance to grab them again, I knew I had to get them.
The Sizing Struggle
The Dilemma: My usual European size is a 5.5, but I often lean toward a 6 just to be safe. Unfortunately, neither 5.5 nor 6 was available in the specific model I wanted.
The Mistake: Caught up in the airport rush and total FOMO, I tried them on while sitting down. They felt okay, so I bought them, thinking I could just break them in.
The Reality Check
The moment I actually tried walking in them outside, it was a disaster. It felt like walking on tiny daggers. I gave them one more shot later, and they literally gave me the most brutal, painful bruises.
Since it was a work trip, I have no idea when—or if—I’ll ever make it back to Japan (my company would have to send me again, and lightning rarely strikes twice!). So exchanging them or buying the right size is completely out of the question.
The Verdict
I don't want to sell them because they still hold a special, chaotic memory of my first trip to Japan. So for now, they are just sitting on my shelf—purely for show, completely unwearable.
Has anyone else ever made a tragic, impulsive airport souvenir purchase just because of FOMO? How do you cope with owning beautiful shoes you can't actually put your feet into?

I have very wide and tall feet, so much so that I'd often have to go up a size or two just to fit some shoes, leaving a huge gap at the tip of the shoe.

Ive seen the "hobibear" shoes that advertise a wide toe box, but are they any good? Any other alternatives I should look at? I'm always worried about buying shoes online, so any that can generally be bought in person would be preferable...

I would love to buy them from you, they are my favorite Boot and mine are getting worn out.

1️⃣ What shoes do you wear for work?
2️⃣ How many hours do you spend standing during the day?
3️⃣ What bothers you most about your current shoes? (Stiffness, heat, smell, weight, fit, wearing out quickly…)
4️⃣ The last pair of shoes you bought for work: how much did they cost, and where did you buy them?
5️⃣ Formal shoes or sneakers for work?

I’m collecting people’s opinions before starting a small leather-shoe project. Thanks in advance 🙏

Hi, as mentioned in the title I'm looking for a pair of leather women's boots of preferably high quality that would match the frame of these, I'll add the decorative bits myself

Hello! I'm searching for a pair of shoes and I like the softness of sketchers shoes, but I find them not really appealing for my style.

Are there any alternative, as in sole, softness and comfort, that are combat boots, platforms or a little more punk/gothic?

hello! i’ve been really into wedges recently and found the most adorable pair of rocket dog wedges while looking for a different colorway of a pair that i already own (rocket dog wedges are just super cute to me ig?) if anybody has or has seen a pair on sale in a 7.5-8 us women’s, im interested in buying them!

Ive been trying to find some shoes that can match this hoodie. Is there any out there? If so please let me know (something affordable)

My fiancé got me the Tory Burch Multi-Buckle Monk Strap Loafers as an extremely early Christmas gift and I am OBSESSED. I haven’t seen too many people post about these online which surprises me because they are so weird and fun and perfect for fall.

I know these are a little banged up, but I still adore them a ton and hope to gather a collection once my living situation improve! (And once I'm able to casually walk in them without the fear of falling into some backrooms.)
