Being as I'm human, and not a bear, I would say no. If I had bear feet, as you seem to indicate that you do (suffering to see them in the shower), I'd hide them most of the time as well!

I have reached a new milestone, if you can call it that. I have had two pairs of the identical model shoes in different colors. I've even have three pairs of one particular model. I've bought direct, identical replacements for shoes before. However, this is the first time I've ever owned 4 pairs of identical shoes. And I'd already broken one of them, otherwise it would be 5.

Back when I found this model, BCBGirls Bonny, many years ago, I had no idea that it would become my favorite shoe. I often wondered what I would do when I wore out the pair I had. I searched high and low and finally found a replacement pair, and I think I paid $75 for it, getting uncomfortably close to what they would have cost new a number of years ago. Right after I bought my second pair, another pair popped up out of the blue in my size for much cheaper. I thought, "What the heck?" and bought those also.

Then I broke one pair, so I was down to two again. Wouldn't you know, two more pair popped up on ebay, and for really, really cheap, like $17 cheap. So anyway, now I have 4 pairs, which ought to last me 'til I'm 64.

Watch out buddy, hording heels;-)

Wow.  That's pretty close to an obsession...lol

I like those mules / slide sandals, very nice.  I learned (from my wife) many years ago that when you find a pair of heels that you are really, really fond of, get two pair (at least) ‘cause you may never see them again.  Good advice that I have followed a few times...  Have fun...

Well, my wifes record is 8 pairs of the same heels, but different colours. She liked them because they were comfy and colourful:

Posted in the Binging tpis as well, 3 pair of the same heels from Hey Si Mey. Cant get over how well balanced this brand is, heels not being all the way back is such a plus. These look a bit further back but it's really due to the 14cm height. Without a doubt my maximum elevation on a single soled pump. Have worn the red pair to run a few errands, much smaller steps than even my 13cm pumps. That last little bit makes a huge difference in stride. These are at the max for me.

I bought this pair on Threadup.  Enzo Angiolini Sandria in size 11.  They fit me pretty well and I think they will be comfortable, but given the style, it's unlikely that I will wear them out and about.  I will enjoy them at home though.

They were a previously owned pair and are no longer available at retail, which is likely why there is no link with the photo.  I think I paid $16 on Threadup.  The heels are a bit on the low side for you @Jkrenzer .  They are about 3.75 inches in this size 11 shoe.  For being previously owned, they are in excellent condition - look they they were rarely worn.

Picked up a used pair of Jessica Simpson ‘Calexico’ pumps on Poshmark last week! These are the highest heels I’ve ever owned and I freaking love them!

[Bootslover29]

Very nice pumps indeed, a must have for every one!

Today I bought those sandals, as summer is coming

Do you think one can wear hosiery with opentoe sandals? 

I think so

Do you think one can wear hosiery with opentoe sandals? For me now, I don't like it but everyone does what they want

[RonC]

Those appear to be opaque, which seems to be considered acceptable in the fashion world.  Personally, I think hose are fine with open shoes, but it is considered a faux pas in the fashion world.  I grew up in the world when hose were always worn with dress shoes, whether they were open toe or sandals.  It's mainly been in the last 15-20 years that hosiery and open shoes became a no-no.

[Cali]

The word "can" is easy. Certain you can.  But should you? I have seen both, even between members on this site.  I agree with @RonC, it use to always wear hose, but I never do.

For one thing I hardly have any visible hair on my legs; its gone form dark black to clear.

[Bootslover29]

Thank you for your responses,

I'm sorry because I'm not supposed to misuse "can" and "should", but it's what I have done!

Do you think my English teacher can beat me, or should he? 😀

I posted back in May, 2019 that I bought these sandals for $19.95, regular $168. I said at the time I wouldn't have much chance to wear them but recently I have had several opportunities, just around the house. The 5" heel took a little getting used to but all is fine now. These are the highest and most feminine shoes I own.

I am one of those people who are of the opinion that hosiery should never be worn with open toe shoes, and especially not full blown sandals, though as Ron C noted, this was done regularly years ago, and sometimes even with reinforced toe hosiery. Even as a kid, I thought this looked odd.

However.  .  . my friend and shoe buddy prefers to wear hosiery with shorts and short skirts for dressier occasions, because the skin on her legs, if you look very closely, is riddled with imperfections. You can't notice it unless you look very carefully up close. I don't really know how to describe it without closeup pictures, but I can understand why she prefers to cover the blemishes with hosiery. She has specialized hosiery for such occasions which do not encase the entire foot, and leaves the toes bare. I'm not entirely sure how it works, but I think it's a good compromise for her.

I saw this kind of hosiery in a shop, but it was expensive and I didn't purchase. I have the same concern as your friend as removing legs hair leaves some visible small dots on the skin. The legs aspect is smoother with 15d hosiery.

I’ve seen this style before and thought that they were the ugliest pair that I’ve ever saw!

[Pumped]

I don't care for them either, but if we all liked the same thing it would be a pretty boring world!
