    I have several pair of Keens. They work very well for the few times we get snow around here. Whoever designed them understood women's feet; they are designed so there is room for a pair of wool socks without the heel being so huge that you slip around when NOT wearing wool socks.

    Between them and Chacos (with wool socks) I'm pretty happy. http://www.rei.com/product/803609

    The good thing about NYC (as opposed to LA) is that no one cares what you wear. You see everything, and it's all good. Be comfy and warm. That's the most important. And if you are concerned with fashion, you can't go wrong with black.

    Yes. Note that good-looking was at the bottom of the list, as a nice-to-have, a bonus. I'm not about to sacrifice comfort, those days are gone.

    That said, my friends at Zappos are sending me some nice Keen boots as I type. They look like they just might fit all the criteria, we'll see!

    Me too! Those are adorable and they look quite comfy. I wish I could wear boots but unless is frigid cold (which doesn't happen here) they just make my feet too hot.

    My experience tells me that LA people care primarily about themselves, how funny you or I may look will be an entertaining highlight, but not the main focus.

    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    A don't mean ALL all of you... just generally the shoes on others noticing ones ( I'm really one of you if you go far enough back in time.)

    Anyway, I keep reading this thread as:

    So do I!

    Regarding shallow, I've moved a lot in my life and I'm fairly sure you can find plenty of "shallow" just about anywhere!

    Nice. Ahem.

    I'm heading to Manhattan to hang out with Charlie Sheen - woohoo!

    Problem is, I have a job where I generally don't need shoes. I'm expecting to do a LOT of walking in NY. Any suggestions on shoes that are good for walking, warm, and hopefully good-looking?

    Also, I could use a fancy watch.

    In other news, the Keens failed. Too narrow, felt like I'd wobble off them.

    I really should wear glasses, sometimes I don't.
    Without my glasses, this thread title looks like
    Call Girl Seeks NYC shoes - seeming shallow is small compared to what I thought you were claiming about yourself.
