I'm certainly no fashionista and I have seen some seriously ugly, "I'm not wearing those until I'm 80" shoes on this thread.

I just got a blank white page.

I need a new pair of boots this winter. I have a hard time finding boots because my feet are so small. DSW has lots of different styles but most of them start at size 6

Nope. The universe is trying to protect me from either their ugliness or the urge to buy them because they're awesome.

Well Kittensaver, I liked the link you posted for the Francis shoes, but I have foot problems too...I think the heel height is too high for me. When my feet hurt, I am just cranky. I wore higher heeled sandals two days this weekend - both Born Sandals but I had blisters on my feet on Monday. Wore my Easy Spirit Shoes to work on Monday. I consider the Easy Spirit Shoes my "Dog Walking shoes" I don't care what my neighbors think.
I usually wear dressier shoes to work, but we can wear jeans, shorts etc, so no one will ever complain about what kind of shoes I am wearing.
More power too you if you can wear 3-4" heels, but you won't see me in them.

They have a greatly extended line of sizes online You mean pay full price ETA: Most shoes online also start at a size 6. I just have a hard time finding shoes small enough. Probably 1/3 of my shoes are children's sizes

At the risk of being run off this board . . .
[am I the only one who things that mules and other "backless/heel-less" slip-ons are really ugly? ] referring to things like Crocs? I'm with ya. that said, I tend to buy and wear a lot of things like this: linkin fact, this is another well-loved pair that needed to be retired a couple years ago.

More power too you if you can wear 3-4" heels, but you won't see me in them. FWIW, I broke my lower left leg in three places two and a half years ago, but I'm back in these because they are so. darn. comfortable. b.o.c. is Born's "fashionable" line of shoes. The heels look high but the shoe is really "cushy," if that makes sense. With my leg problems I'm probably not ever going to be able to get back in stilletos or stiff leather boots, but this line works for me and my long-term restriction. But of course YMMV.

Kittensaver this is what I ordered from DSW: www.dsw.com/shoe/bass+primrose+bootie?prodId=270921&activeCats=cat10006,cat20173,dsw12cat1100004 I am not sure about the color, but they looked comfy and I liked them. We have ordered from DSW before and had no issues with returns. I was planning to visit DSW they just opened a decent sized store at the mall closest to my house. I tired to grab the shoes from a local store but they said they did not have them in stock.

Seriously...please tell me that most of you are joking with these shoes you are all posting....I think I would rather have my feet amputated than be seen with most of the shoes in this thread on my feet....

What would you wear to run all over NYC if you're 29 but have had bunions since you were 13? I have a bunion and an arthritic toe (I broke my one toe when I was 19 or so)....I spent the day in NYC two years ago and I can assure you, never once thought about wearing ugly ass shoes. And that would have been right around when I was turning 40...so at 40 I wouldn't wear old lady shoes, no way in hell I would wear them at 29.

I'm glad you can pull off the heels, because I'd love to. I just can't. I'm miserable for a day afterward and I don't want to ruin my first trip to NYC by not being able to walk. If anyone needs me, I'll be the one walking Central Park in grandma shoes.

One word: Nordstrom (Fact: they started life as a shoe store!) I go to Nordstrom Rack a lot but they have very little in size 5 What kind of boot are you looking for, almost40? Do you want a casual, comfortable boot like a western boot, or are you looking for something more dressy/with a high heel? I know Justin makes a size 5 and so does Corral.
