I'm happy we're a #3 seed, but think our bracket is a little idiotic. texas is a #6 and Baylor is a #5; we already played and beat both by double-digits. If A&M and texas both win their first game, we'll play them again in the second round. Kinda silly. If we beat them again (assuming they get past UNI), we play Oklahoma in the Sweet Sixteen. It's like they're trying to force a Big 12 reunion. It's utter bs that WVU got a #3 seed. And they are hell bent on keeping us and Kentucky together year after year. Although the "experts" picked us to finish 6th in the Big 12. I guess though by being in the East we could take the train to Brooklyn to see the opening rounds if I wanted to. I agree. Utter BS!

I just bought a $200 pair of wedges. I'm prepared to be burned at the stake. And then a $100 pair of snakeskin flats fell in my cart with them. Bring your torches to the bonfire!!! OK, I found the invitations. Do we have to roast the shoes, Pants, or can we stick to food that tastes good roasted by flames?
Oh yeah I assumed you'd be roasting ME. Please, not the shoes!!!

If I don't get to wear my expensive nude pumps somewhere that I got from nordstroms rack, I'm going to start a bonfire of my own!

No to pair 1, yes to pair 2. So I guess we'll just put you in a really hot room or something.

I'm not sure whether shoes are tougher for women than men. Shoes are another item where you can spend anywhere from $30 to $800 and get what you pay for.
I like a particular brand of dress shoes, but have become disenchanted lately as I'm seeing that even the pairs in the $200+ price point are made in India. Maybe the location doesn't actually matter and we are just romanticizing what we think made in Italy vs. made in China means. Some clothing manufacturers "import labor" so even if the workers are located in Italy, they are not from Italy. The fantasy that some old school master cobbler is hand making my shoes by the light of a candle is probably not worth clinging to.
$200+ pair shoes are supposed to last. I guess that is the real test. India, Italy, China, USA... if it is falling apart after a year (and with me only wearing it a few times a week) then it is time to switch brands. I have plenty of $100/pair shoes from this brand that are going pretty strong. I will resole shoes if I like them.
I also have a pair of boots I bought at the end of the season last year. I paid $55 but they are normally $110. They have worked well so far. They aren't work boots or anything, but they have good grip for rain and light snow.
I have my eye on a dress pair for $225 that I may pull the trigger on. Good shoes really do tie an outfit together. And so many men are clueless about shoes.
I'd probably pay almost any price for something I liked enough.

Oh yeah, and when you find shoes you like, buy 2 pairs! Once they are gone, they are gone. The brand I like sometimes resurrects designs from yesteryear. But only the top sellers. I imagine this is worse for women as women's fashions change much more quickly and dramatically than men's.

I need to find a pair of waterproof boots that are black but look stylish. Like mid calf.

I do, too, but I'd like them to pass for shoes if possible.

So, stylish not just functional? Not actual muck boots?

Right but they need to be waterproof as in I can rinse them off if they get muddy.

Comfy and able to be walked in a lot is a plus.

It's utter bs that WVU got a #3 seed. And they are hell bent on keeping us and Kentucky together year after year. Although the "experts" picked us to finish 6th in the Big 12. I guess though by being in the East we could take the train to Brooklyn to see the opening rounds if I wanted to. I agree. Utter BS!
Trivia question: What does WVU have in common with VCU?
My brother was telling anyone who would listen in the sports book at Caesars to bet on SFA, because they run the same style of pressing defense as WVU, and therefore wouldn't be intimidated by their pressure, so it would be a close game. It was his one lock bet of the weekend, and it was correct. BTW, if you ever get hungry while watching sports, don't go to Caesars Palace. They figure if you can afford Caesars, you can afford $15 for half a sandwich and a drink. They have a captive audience, so they have no compunction about gouging you. Downtown Vegas is much more reasonable. On the shoe front, saw a pair of football cleats on sale for $3 at Walmart. Almost bought them solely so I could wear them while doing a radio show discussing football, as an inside joke that only three people would get. I think $3 would be worth the laugh, though.
