Okay, where do you find those cool shoes...

..you know, the ones that are supposed to be so great for your feet? They kinda look like clogs, but they have a back? Back when I was waiting tables some of the servers wore them, said nurses wear them a lot, but at the time I didn't want to shell out the $$ to buy shoes for a job that I didn't intend to continue with.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Val - thanks, I love my Avatar too. It suits me....although yours does too. I'm sure we all feel that way a great deal of the time on this crazy path we've chosen!

Jilly--Thanks for the outlet link. I'll have to check it out. Although I stopped by a shoe store near my house yesterday, and found a pair that I may go back and buy tonight. I want a black pair to wear for everyday use.

Jen are they comfortable? To me they don't look like they would be. I just wear tennis shoes, DMX walkers.

renerian, I haven't seen them in person yet -- I just found them online, lol! I'll let you know what I think when I get them, which will be pretty soon. :)

renerian--A bunch of people I used to wait tables swore by them. I tried some on last night, going back today to buy them. I had to take a day to 'think it over' as $90-$100 for a pair of shoes is a lot for me. I personally think they look cool, and the during the 5 minutes I had them on in the store, they seemed comfortable. But, time will tell!!

You really can't, bewbew? I studied for a semester in Northern Queensland, and I picked up some really cool boots. Don't remember what they were called either...guess I have a problem remembering shoes! But I want to say....Blundies? Something like that. Anyway, I loved Australia.

WOW! Lucky you, Mel, to study up in North Queensland, I've not been up there yet! What uni were you going through there?

'Blunnies', or 'Blundstones' are what you're thinking off, yes, they are great, but my feet no longer like them since having babies....:confused:

I spose I'll have to get on the phone, ring the major stores, see if they can get hold of a pair.......if I were to buy them from a U.S site, it would end up being very costly, as the Aussie $ doen't convert well to the U.S. $

Mel, were you at James Cook Uni?

I too am looking for a new pair of shoes but clogs aren't my style. Looking for an nice comfy court shoe sorta style.
