Dear Jesus ……..
…. thank you for little leather laces ….
Also ……
…. may I mention, the loveliness of the delicate buckle? You’ve seen these, God, I’m sure.
And let us not forget …..
….. the flirty flounce of a silky ribbon.
Sorry I mentioned flirting, God.
Oh, then there’s ……
….. the sturdy stomp of a kick-butt boot. Which I wouldn’t do, God. Kick butt, I mean. You know me.
Well.
Hm.
This is awkward.
Quick, God! Think happy thoughts! Look at this!
Happy, happy!
You know what, God?
I once saw a woman wearing shoes just like these. She sashayed down the sidewalk, all brazen in her curvy Rococo heels. And then she tripped. Did you do that, God?
Good thing I’m not cheeky like that. Right?
But I want to remember to thank you, Lord, for ….
….. this gorgeous stamped cordova leather. So eye-catching. Not that I’m trying to catch any eyes, God. I mean, any eyes but your all-seeing omnipresent ones. Which could clearly see me not ever wearing these in red. Not ever. Rest assured, Lord. Well, don’t rest, because what if I want to talk to you? And if you’re not assured, then I can’t help you. So just scratch that whole thing. I didn’t say that.
In closing, Lord, thank you for shoes ……
….. and cows.
Amen.

Are you trading in your All-Stars?
I can’t believe anyone would pay that much money for a pair of shoes!!!!! I think the most I ever paid was $125 for a pair of cowboy boots 🙂
Brian — Nevaahhh!
sam — But they’re so purty ….
Love the boots! But, why oh why do they have to cost so much??? I am dying for a pair of boots. Guess I’ll wear my fake Ugg Kirkland brand…. that were 30 bucks. sigh.
*drools*
Um, call me common, but those curvy Rococo things? They look like stairway banisters. Or drapes, the bottom of a set of drapes.
Anita — I know! Sob!
sarahk — HA. NO one would ever call you that. And the Rococo ones are ….. yes, a tad wonky, I agree. They’re like the legs on a grand piano or something. But for some reason, I kinda like them.
I am literally having heart palpitations over the 1st, 3rd. and 4th photos.
DROOL
Oh, and if I had the money? I would totally pay the price.
Like a very wise writer once said: What you risk shows what you value.
I value books. I spend hundreds of dollars I don’t have … on books … every month. There are those who would judge me. Yet these are the same folks who spend a bazillion bucks on Garanimal outfits, 5 diaper genies, and new islands in the kitchen.
I have learned, in my old age, to not judge what money other people spend … on things that they value. If I value something, and I have the money to spend on it … what on earth is the problem? Who are you to judge?
If I value gorgeous shoes like the one in the first photo – then what is the problem?
I don’t get spending money on cars. I don’t get spending money on household appliances. I dont JUDGE those who value those things. Of course not! If you’ve got it, go for it! But do I “get” spending money on such shoes in those photos?
heck yes!!
My problem would be that I’d have to go buy an outfit to match those horribly expenssive, yet fun, shoes. I’m sure that the outfit would have to be equally expenssive.
Yeah, true. You can’t wear those shoes with just anything!
Tracey, I’ll have you know I bookmarked that site – in case I ever feel a little flush!!
sheila — I confess. I knew what I was doing to you. 😉
kathi — You’re right. I have nothing to go with ANY of these — except my whims.
Oh, 1, 2, 3 and 4 are my favorites. And the puppy. The Rococo ones were just so … so out there and wild. They make me wonder if they’d look better on than just sitting there being piano legs.
Mostly, right now, I want those BOOTS. I need to do some major stomping.
Yeah, the boots are absolutely fantastic. You could wear them with tights and a skirt – or jeans and a sweater …
Stomp stomp stomp!
Yeah, I could think of a few people that I could stomp on with those lovely boots!
These are so cool looking! Somebody convince them to make them in 7-wides. Maybe I should pray???
This post reminds me of this pair of Louis Vuitton wedge heels that came out like 4 or 5 years ago. They were like $500-600 or something and they were in a dark rich fabric with elaborate embroidery all over them and the shape was just extraordinary and wanted to just buy them and put them in a little display case or something. To me, that was art.
With the what to wear issue – When I have a pair of crazy amazing shoes I often wear them with something really simple – i.e. crisp jeans and a simple solid blouse. Or black slacks and a long sleeved black T. Something nice and well made that doesn’t compete with the shoes.
Oh, and I love that you’re thankful for the cows, too. Hilarious. Poor cows.
BTW, I thought most of the others were precious. Just not the banisters. 😉
And I agree with sheila. Whatever people want to spend their money on — totally their business.
Let us ALL pray — for $269!!!
