Guest Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 The title says it all. If you had one pair to wear everyday for the rest of your life, I hate to say this because I may put them on and drop dead, which ones would it be. I would say it must be heels but it may be interesting to see who would not choose heels. My bet is more woman would not choose heels. How about this. It must be heels, if not, you can post 2 Pair, but ONLY if your one pair are not heels. Given: anything you wear is acceptable and it must be in your closet. Now remember, This means a lifetime supply of the shoe and it is worn everyday. Wow! This is hard. I am going to limit my selection to the shoes I wear everyday even though I have some pumps that I like very much and even have some other boots that I like a lot. They just have a very skinny heel and I think my one pair needs to be more rugged or solid. So it is a toss up between my bakers boots that have lots of miles on them from the previous owner and my enzo wedge. Actually my 9west boots that debbi liked could be in the finalist too. And the winner is......
Stilletto2004 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 I hate to say it, especially in this forum, but if it were one pair for life, it would be my Redwing work boots. Mike
DebbiNC Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 OK, I'll make my choice(s). I'm one of those girls that loves heels and wear them almost everyday for at least part of the day...so a pair of heels is in my final "two" pairs. You know a girl has to have more than just one pair of shoes ! The first are my "Rossi" pumps from Pepe Jeminez. With four inch heels and all leather construction (soles and lining) these shoes my absolute favorite heels although I have heels that cost much more. For flats, it would be my J.Crew flats in black patent leather. Simply cute and sexy, I know I'll get attention in these girly flats! It's about Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of New Shoes!
Curt Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 I would choose my Fluevog Leeward boots. Soft buttery leather and they zip up on my legs perfectly. Plus. They have 4.5" skinny heels. Who can ask for more than that?
HenriHH Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 I would choose 4" Stileto Pump (w/o platform). These are my most worn and most comfortable. Color is Black. Henri
meganiwish Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Impossible to contemplate. When I think back over the last 30+ years I'm astonished at some of my choices and can see I couldn't even guess what my tastes might be next year, let alone twenty years hence. So the only choice is something timeless and classic, and where's the fun in that?
Steve63130 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Good answer, Meganiwish! I agree with you entirely. I couldn't possibly pick just one pair. 20 pair maybe... Steve
4608 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 My RM Williams ankle boots with 2" cuban heel - ever so practical and stylish too
meganiwish Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 But for something practical, maybe these. http://www.victoriassecret.com/shoes/view-all/fringe-wedge-bootie-colin-stuart?ProductID=65105&CatalogueType=OLS&cm_mmc=CA-_-Shopzilla-_-PRIVATE%20LABEL%20SHOES-_-ZH-287492
dww Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Not for me but Bad Robot would like them if he's still around. life is not a rehearsal
Guest Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 That's just it. You only get to keep one pair you already own, no more shoes will ever be made so there are no new styles. Pics are a must. Very nice as usual debbi.
mlroseplant Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 If I were limited to one pair of shoes for the rest of my life, I'd probably just go barefoot. It seems like the most sensible thing to do. Barring that, I'd probably choose one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Sofft-Aviano-Color-Leather-Womens/dp/B005940NNQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1358413616&sr=8-1&keywords=sofft+aviano http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_10?url=search-alias%3Dshoes&field-keywords=sofft+camden&sprefix=sofft+camd%2Cshoes%2C165 The first style, with the higher heel, is pretty much my default shoe around the house. I just walked 2 miles in these to run some errands today (it was a very nice day for January in Iowa). However, the second style is somewhat more versatile. I mow the lawn in these shoes. Climbing a ladder to clean out the rain gutters in these shoes is no problem. But then, it comes time to go to work. Like Stiletto2004, I'd about have to choose my Red Wing work boots, since I have to put food on the table, don't I?
Jkrenzer Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I have over 150 pairs of heeled shoes and boots, but honestly this question was easier to answer than I thought it would be. The winner is my old leather 4.75" Aldo pumps. Joe
PatsyCline Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 For a newbie heel wearer, I would have to say my Christian Louboutin Daffodiles in black. "Porsche...There is no Substitute"
Histiletto Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 I tried to condense my choices and then I realized that is the situation society has offered guys for quite a while and I refuse to be so confined. It would even be hard to choose the heels I will be buried in. I might have to get the mortician to put at least a dozen pair in as lining. Gosh, the things we have to prepare for so that we'll be well-heeled and stylish for the resurrected stage of existence.

ChipsHH Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Couldn't really choose. It would feel too easy of a choice between the only two pair I have now. I'm thinking of tuning two to one and further making it hard on me because I still wouldn't be able to choose on such a limited scale. Call me difficult if you will, but I rather have way many more pairs of shoes to actually choose from than just two measly pair I've rarely had the time to wear ;( Formally "HHDude"
Rockpup Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 In a realm of fantasy, where your pick will never wear out, never cause you pain or injury, and will not be accepted without question by society, I'm very tempted to go with black leather ballet boots. A more practical answer would be my 3.5" wedge Ash hiking boots. http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z408/rockpup/2012-09-05_10-03-58_153-1.jpg (formerly known as "JimC")
Guest Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Awesome joe. I thought this would be fun, or painful, to have to. Choose only one pair Of shoes. Patsy. I just sold my 77 911s. Now in the market for a 930:
