Forum: Sex Topic: shoe shopping started by: CatKnight Posted by CatKnight on Aug. 11 2001,21:17
I went shopping for shoes yesterday (this weekend there is no sales tax in MD). Anyway I found a really cool pair of basketball shoes at foot locker that were fairly cheap. I asked the guy if I could see them in a 9 1/2, and he said the smallest size they carry them in was a 12 ![]() ![]() Posted by DuSTman on Aug. 11 2001,21:59
Yeah, i know.. My feet are 9 1/2 but they're H width.. so i end up having to get sized 12 shoes just so they're wide enough.. Damn the dicky aspect ratio of my feet! Posted by Cyclone on Aug. 12 2001,01:04
wtf does this have to with sex?! lolOn a related note, I've had the same problem...except with a different shoe... ------------------ Posted by afropik on Aug. 12 2001,01:06
I wear an 11 1/2, and don't really have problems shopping for shoes. I've got friends (women) who bitch that they can't get anything because their feet are too large. They look normal to me. Go figure.------------------ quote: Posted by caseman984 on Aug. 12 2001,01:08

CK- you start the most pointless topics-- this however, is not one of them.I LOVE shoes! I own 35 pairs of shoes (ask Observer he saw them)- and I just got three more this past weekend. Most of them are black and skechers (my fav shoe brand)-- I need shoe therapy I think. I wear a size 6 women's shoe so every shoe looks nice on my feet. Thank god I got blessed with small something cause god knows nothing else on my body is. ------------------ Posted by incubus on Aug. 12 2001,15:27

Shoe shopping. Is there everything in this world more like torture? I've always hated it. I wear a woman size 9 which is the size most women around here wear, hence shoes my size are always sold out. And whenever I find a pair I really really like they are too damn expensive... I just threw out about half the shoes I owned yesterday, and kept just the pairs I really like and wear. I guess I'll need a new pair of running shoes and a pair of boots... my good old cowboy boots are about to fall to pieces. Oh and CK... proves, no alibis. ------------------ Posted by CatKnight on Aug. 12 2001,20:01

While we're on the subject of footwear, can someone explain high-heeled shoes to me?The idea behind footwear is comfort, to protect your feet from the stones and miscellaneous sharp things, Is there any extra utility in putting a tall heel on a womans shoe? No.. It also adds considerable difficulty to balancing.. make a woman in stilettos run to catch a bus and you'll see ho ludicris these things are.. Long-term wearing high-heeled shoes is likely to damage your spinal alignment, and I'm sure I'm not the only person that winces at the sight of pictures like these

most girls' reasons for high heels:1. shaping of the calf muscles 2. looking taller (and thus, more skinny) 3. having a catwalk-like way of walking all three are pretty stupid reasons. However, it depends on where you wear high heels, how high they are, and how thick/stable the heel is. Ballroom dancing on flat shoes is close to impossible... Stilettos are not good for health, and they are really dangerous. A shoe with a moderately high heel (say, 1.5 to 2.5 inches) can on the contrary be more comfortable for walking and standing. Personally, I prefer shoes that are lightly high-heeled because walking in them feels better. The important thing is to change the heel-height often and not always wear the same shoes (and that's also a good excuse for owning a lot of shoes! Posted by spicegoddess on Aug. 13 2001,14:53
i am with Chrissy when i say i have a trillion pairs of shoes. I LOVE SHOES!!! and obviously can't get enough. I bought seven pairs this summer which is pretty ludacris("i've got hoes, in different area codes...") for a college student who has to return to her closet sized dormroom. and the fact that i own over 10 pairs of black shoes is not a problem cause you have to think about style not color when purchasing. ok now i sound like Cher in Clueless. and to follow up on Dustman's comments...high heels are amazing. they don't hurt my feet, i have no trouble balancing and frankly how many cute pairs of flat shoes can u find? not many. even have high heeled boots. ok i am finished. that is all i wanted to add =)This message has been edited by spicegoddess on August 14, 2001 at 09:54 AM Posted by CatKnight on Aug. 14 2001,00:40

no sales tax?!?!?!?!?! where do u live? i know i had a ball when i was in new england, buying something for ร.99 and getting the penny back. here in cali everything is taxed. i think the last time i checked tax was about 8.25\%my friends go to neighboring counties for cheaper sales tax Posted by LiNeY on Aug. 15 2001,21:55
We have 14.5\% sales tax here (like in Québec), and it is INCLUDED in the price so there is never a chance to get tax free shopping except at the airport. And because it is in the price you don't realize it so half the time you forget to rant about it! ![]() Posted by CatKnight on Aug. 15 2001,22:26
up until today stores in maryland have no sales tax and big sales on clothes and some other stuff. good time to buy a car ![]() Posted by damien_s_lucifer on Aug. 16 2001,01:23
spicegoddess, what county are you in? The ONLY county I know of that has/had a tax rate of 8.25\% is Contra Costa, which is where I live - you?

Incubus, you are my idol for owning German officer paraboots. :-DReally though, what's with having 50 different pairs of shoes? I can see having maybe 4 or 5 specialized pairs but...do you even wear them all? I'm with DKB on 2 pair a year, heh. Posted by pengu1nn on Aug. 16 2001,05:08
damnit i have to buy a new pair of shoes. i have two pair, both over 2 years old and falling apart

quote: They 0wn. Yeah, I think the only reason for buying more than 3 pairs of shoes a year is being female (female = more diverse range of clothes = more different kinds of footwear needed) Posted by ic0n0 on Aug. 16 2001,16:17
I ware a 10 ½ or 11 depending on the how the certain shoe feels and i ware wide, is having that large of a foot weird for being only 5’7”? One of my feet is about ¼ of an inch bigger than the other one also. ------------------ This message has been edited by ic0n0 on August 17, 2001 at 11:18 AM Posted by CatKnight on Aug. 16 2001,17:05

Damien, Contra Costa IS the only CA county with that rate, though now being at 8\% (can't believe I'm happy about that). And just to stay on topic with this lame post:1 pair of black dress shoes 1 pair soiled running shoes for anything and everything My shoes last. Posted by spicegoddess on Aug. 16 2001,20:10
umm i live in Los Angeles County, but Orange County has the cheaper tax. and yes i wear ALL of my shoes. of course i do wear some more than others. i go back and forth and will have "shoes of the week" type deal. like some people mentioned, not all shoes go with everything regardless of color. it is about the style. and yes i go to Duke but i don't live there year-round, and i think that covers it all.

Actually, Oregon has 0\% sales tax...just their other taxes are bloody high. Here in Seattle sales tax I think is 9\%, but I could be off by .5 either way.------------------ Posted by askheaves on Aug. 19 2001,22:04
I have a pair of tennis shoes. I wear them every day.In a container in the back of my closet, i have a pair of suede brown shoes and a pair of tuxedo shoes. The key is to pick the right pair of shoes that goes with everything you own. How hard is that? Size 9 1/2. No correlation... well, a 1 to 1 correlation, maybe Posted by aznangl on Aug. 22 2001,20:30
hellz ya...no sales tax on oregon...the price u see is the price u get charged...it's so nice i tell ya.

What you need to do is live on the WA/OR border then do all your shopping in Oregon and pay the more resonable Washington taxes.

Right now I do not own a single pair of shoes. The last pair I woned lasted me about 8 months then completely fell apart. I am now forced to wear my father's sandals (sp?) which are giving me a nasty blister on my right foot.

Ever notice that in most porno's and pics the girls are wearing shoes during sex? I wonder why that is. Personally I'd rather see pretty bare feet because they are way sexier than shoes, but anywayz...... ------------------ Posted by CatKnight on Aug. 25 2001,18:08
they wear high heels because they are sexy as fuck and make girl's leg muscles tighten when they walk.

Since when? Since always! That's the beauty of ham, it has so many uses! (Don't worry, I don't eat the ones I fuck. Not raw anyway.)Actually it's not really walking, its more of an on-your-knees shuffle/crawl. Still, I like to make the pigs wear white stockings and shiny black high heels. It makes them look classy and slows them down a bit. Posted by Hellraiser on Aug. 29 2001,21:05
