Your type of dress shoes

[indysteel]

I only wear Keens. I have 47 pairs.

No judgment, but that's a lot of shoes!

That reminds me of a thread I started way back in 2008 when I was debating buying the same pair of Keen Mary Jane sandals in three different colors--brown, black and red--because I found them so comfortable. I didn't end up buying the red shoes and regret it to this day. I did, however, end up buying two more pairs of those Keens--in black and khaki. Along with the brown pair, they remain my favorite shoe of all time. Because I wear them all the time in the summer, they're now showing their age, and Keen doesn't make them anymore. And don't you know; I've not bought a single pair of summer shoes since that thread until just this week. So much for Mimi's (God love her) critique of my materialism/consumerism! But I sure wish I'd bought a truckload of those Mary Janes in retrospect. Consumerism be damned; my feet love those shoes!

Lotta shoes. My new faves are Jambu shoes. Less clunky than Keen. And red MJs, Indy...just sayin'.

I was just looking at those! Which model(s) do you have if you don't mind me asking? I just got an order in from Zappos and was really disappointed with the Clarks sandal that I ordered. I'm trying to find a neutral flat sandal that can be both dressed up and dressed down. The Jambu "Ocean" might work.

I don't have any (yet). I'm saving my money for a trip, so shoes are off the table at the moment. But I did see some in person and I really liked the look and feel of them. I like the Ocean and some of their other models (with small heels). If they were SPD compatible, I'd definitely get some.

I am afraid of that happening so I have back-ups for all my favorites... and a pair of keens to go with everything. I just ordered a couple of the new styles in orange. (school colors at the university I work at and it's not often you can find attractive shoes in orange.)
