It's friday that must mean it's time for...

the Friday Five. What a rather unoriginal title.

1. What size shoe do you wear?
My gargantuan feet wear a size 11 in women’s. I used to wear 10, but when I was out searching for sneakers over the summer, I measured my foot with one of those feet things and I was just a hair over 11 which basically means I theoretically could wear a 10 but for comfort purposes, I best be purchasing 11s. And that’s okay, given that one of my friends in school, Katie, wore a size 12 at the age of 14.

2. How many pairs of shoes do you own?
Currently hanging on my shoe rack are 3 pairs of slippers; a pair of Doc Martens boots; Timberland hiking boots; 2 pairs of Birkenstocks (one in black and one in tan); 2 pairs of sneakers (one that are men’s and should be chucked); a pair of black dress sandals; a pair of Doc Marten men’s dress shoes; pair of Timberland men’s dress shoes; a pair of 3” black and gray chunky heeled loafers. So that makes a total of 13 - my favorite number. I’m pretty sure I am forgetting something. But those are the more important ones. As an addendum, I realize I forgot two: two pairs of sandals from Easy Spirit (one that’s currently being held together with florist wire).

3. What type of shoe do you prefer (boots, sneakers, pumps, etc.)? I prefer boots. I love boots; one day I’ll get a pair of black pvc knee-high boots. I prefer having my feet protected from every possible element. And being in NY state where the winters can be harsh, it’s a necessity to have a pair of boots that are grippy enough to deal with ice and snow.

4. Describe your favorite pair of shoes. Why are they your favorite?
I think right now my favorite pair of shoes would be a pair of Red Sequined Mary Jane shoes. I’m in love with the color red and I think to complete an outfit nothing could go better with an all black outfit than bright red shoes. Then I can listen to Elvis Costello’s song about Angels wearing red shoes. And if anyone knows where I can get me a pair, please, please, please, let me know!

5. What's the most you've spent on one pair of shoes?
I’ve spent over a hundred dollars on a pair of shoes. I don’t believe in spending $10 on a pair of shoes that are going to fall apart after one wearing. Star Jones can lick my slit because those pieces of shit at Payless are exactly what you pay for: cheap shoes for cheap people built by innocent children in some unheard of country. Sketchers and Doc Martens are my favorite brands and I don’t mind shelling out a little extra bling for kickass shoes. However, my sister doesn’t mind shelling out that money for a pair of shoes that in essence are a rectangle with a couple of strings attached. Sometimes it’s the brand name of the shoe. I’ve heard of problems with shoes from J. Crew, my sister one time bought a $60 pair of brown dress shoes that broke during her first wearing. I don’t believe they offered to repair or fix them. I even had a problem with a pair of sandals I bought from Easy Spirit, spent $35 on them, and they broke after the third wearing. Got them fixed, they broke again, got them fixed again, and they broke again. I finally gave up and bound them with florist wire. I am an engineer!
