mostly they mean me being silly
i do have a weakness for fucking expensive shoes, but i would never spend more than £350 on shoes and £500 on boots - yes i know that's obscene, but what i mean is that i would never spend £850 on a pair of louboutins or £1,000 on some gucci boots!

it's ridiculous money
but if you choose well and look after them well, they really will last for years.

truth
which is why I had no problem spending a mere £100ish on my wedding boots.

plus, they are awesome

I was trying to persuade my mrs that some sky blue boots
with 6 inch stainless steel heels were appropriate for her.

didn't work, but she has got some red patent shoes for the wedding.

er...
.... you can buy her some really nice stockings. and after the wedding, you can make her do Stuff to you in the nice underwear and the red patent heels.

that was more of a *shrugs* what can you do?
kind of statement, but since you mention it, those things will be happening anyway.

i have some very beautiful red patent high heels
they only get worn for very special men (NOT in a window-licking sense!). they have never failed me yet.

i don't think you'll complain, shall we say, and draw a veil over the rest of it!

a veil eh?
kinky

this exchange reminds me of this one between two of my friends
1 - "you know what'd be good...?"
2 - "yeah if there were like two of me and one was naked and the other was trying to take his own clothes off to put on the naked one and they are fighting over who gets to be naked..."
1 - "I was going to say 'a nice cup of tea'"

everyone else "..."

If I had that money, I'd have a lot more cameras
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 14:00, Reply)

that's kind of the point though
your cameras are my shoes or kroney's cars or monty's nose candy or vipros' guitars... we all have something we like to treat ourselves to!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 14:05, Reply)

very true
nothing wrong with having something to indulge in. Unfortunately I like guitars, surfboards, cars, my house, food, coats, boots.....

I'm getting there slowly.
give me a couple of months and I'll be considerably better off than I am now.

I just don't see the appeal of shoes
there's not much you can do with them except wear them, but even then the fancy ones seem to be impractical.

There again I bought cheap shoes the other day and trashed them while I was away. NOw I have to buy more shoes :(
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 14:08, Reply)

it seems to be the case that more expensive womens shoes are actually comfortable
or so I am led to believe.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 14:09, Reply)

not quite
they are much MORE comfortable. "comfortable" without qualification would be a bridge too far!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 14:13, Reply)

I was including the point that most women bitch about their high-heeled shoes all the time
and that is because they don't spend enough on them

Practicality is never the point though
