    Need shoes

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I need shoes I can wear with shorts and jeans and whatever. I LOVE these shoes and they are on sale...but they only go to size 9. I wear size 10. I'm doing some random searches and can't find anything similar. Title 9 used to have shoes like this and I can't find anything close! I despise velcro.

    Does anyone have any ideas as to where I could look? Here are the shoes and they are on sale for $59. Curse my big feet!!!

    They're on the Aventura website (aventuraclothing.com). As far as brand goes, am unsure. Might be theirs? Might be their sister company? Might be something else and they just aren't saying?

    I did look at the Privos and loved them! My mind is still on the sale mindset and I haven't found anything perfect enough to spend $80ish on but it is on the right track. I'll probably end up going home and lamenting and DH will just say to do the $80ish shoes and my mind will be at rest.

    I know, I know! The brand is J-41.... they have Jeep soles You can find that exact shoe (Sideline mesh I think) and a ton others on Zappos: http://www.zappos.com/n/es/d/7224238...e/1/bar/1.html

    They aren't on sale, but they do have sizes up to size 11 in womens. Also, zappos has free shipping both directions, so there is no risk of loosing $$ by ordering them online and trying them out.

    I think that REI also carries some of these shoes, but haven't checked recently.
    E.

    PS. I will take a look around and see if I can find them on sale anywhere.

    http://www.shoestoboot.com/moreinfo....3&Category=344 has them in a size 10 (but read the fit stuff on Zappos, the look like they run a little small)

    I know, I am out of it! I have over 100 pairs from when Zappos had super low sale prices but since they are now generally 10% lower on their sale stuff, I abstain.

    I am LOVING the J-41's though!!! I'd like all the colors but will have to decide on one. They seem like the perfect shorts/capri/jeans shoes.

    Thank you SO much

    Well, Knott you have me beat - I only have 6 pairs of shoes:

    1 pair running shoes (approx. 1 yr. old)
    1 pair Dansko clogs (pricey, but worth it!)
    1 pair low-heel black (approx. 2 yrs. old)
    1 pair low-heel brown (approx. 2 yrs. old)
    1 pair black dressy heels (approx. 6 yrs. old)
    1 pair bike shoes (approx. 4 months old)

    And there you have it. I think DH may have more shoes than I do.

    I HATE shopping and I HATE spending money.

    Check out onlineshoes.com and pegasusshoes.com. And I want you to know that I am holding you personally responsible for discovering J-41s and the three pairs I ordered tonight.

    I am totally in love with the Bikers by Sketchers and they look like what you're after...

    Thanks, you all rock

    I was up in the great city of Bethel, AK for work when I saw the last of your responses. I HAD to get not one pair of shoes but two! Good call on the Sketchers and the price was incredible. My Bethel co-workers looked at me like I was insane...but that place isn't condusive to cute shoes. Thank you all for your links! I have now found new ways to support my habit.

    And lest I sound too Imelda-like, there is a reason for it. Shoes never make your backside look big. They are pure and honorable and you can eat chocolate around them and not feel guilty.

    And now home to Seattle. Am dog tired in a restaurant in Anchorage but I know that shoes will be arriving to my house within 2 days. Yay
