Can’t Always be Barefoot(?)

Purple Star emoji 16 items
I would honest to god love to be barefoot exclusively. However; I cannot be. I can respect that but I, in turn, am super specific about my shoes. I like comfort, I like versatile, I love for it to be cute, and above all; I like them to last.

These, or a pair of these, have been basically glued to my feet since 2018. I wear this style of birks from March to November. To understand why this might be insane, you’ll have to remember I live in MN.

These are not practical. I know. I love them though. I love every white pair of chuck I’ve ever put on. I genuinely don’t know if I’ll ever stop loving them. I don’t think I even want to. I’m a low top, white chuck, no tie loving gal.

Okay this dates me I am pretty sure. But gladiator shoes were ALL THE RAGE when I was in high school. They were simply peak fashion and I felt like that bitch when I was wearing them - in the best way only. Some habits die hard I guess because I'm st...

I love these - the only draw back, which is not really a draw back, is the tiny heel. I am not a heel hater - not really - but I just don't love feeling taller than I am. I like the height I am and I like to feel firmly planted on the ground. Overall...

These feel like slippers, but look like something I can wear to work without concern. They look maybe a little more professional than my birks - my work is pretty laid back - but if I wanted to switch up my daily this would be the first reached for.

These are so incredibly easy to toss on. I like in a really chilly (read frigid) climate and these are nice to toss on when the weather gets cold.

I love a sandal. There’s almost never a situation I want to retire my birks, but I am interested in expanding. These are close in color/coverage. Idk, they might be in my Christmas or birthday list.

Someone please give me a time and space to wear these. The last time I work pink straps heels I was 20 and in the throws of sorority recruitment. A slay either way.

I like these! I like a neutral - I am a creature of habit and when I find a shoe I like I commit for life. My only concern is that they’re backless. That’s probably fine, but they’d have to be comfy.

This is hands down my favorite color of birks and I love them for the comfort and longevity. I will 100% spend the money on them every 1 - 2 years because I wear them so so much. I have never ventured into this style, but I think I might want to? May...

I am on the cusp of Millennial and Gen Z. Like genuinely - I’m like three days into Gen Z. So much of my life is identified by both generations. This color feels Millennial. Love it though.

I’m a sucker for a cute tennis shoe. I have three kids and honestly almost everything we do out of the house requires me to turn and walk to every “hey, mom watch”. I love it, your girl just needs a good pair of shoes to do it

I really love a white shoe - I of course cannot keep them clean, but I do love them. I also really love that sneakers have become far more popular/in because honestly the older I get the less I want to wear anything that's not comfy.

Evidently I like the look of Reebok shoes. In general, I am always just about to enter a healthy girl era - I need some work on the execution of that - but these look like something that would make me feel like I was in that era.

I love these, the neutral color, the grippy bottoms, the slip on of it all. With winter almost always comes far more ice than I can handle and I fall every winter. These look like they could minimize that risk.

Again, I was a teen in the 2010's - can I be any more clear? I never had a pair of combat boots, but I think I would eat up a pair like this.
