Clogs!

We're starting Tuesday Shoesday with the most recent edition to my shoe collection.  They were actually purchased on a Sunday - Sunday, March 12, 2006 to be specific.  We had a big event at work the previous Thursday, and I had to come in over the weekend to do some data entry to tie up the loose ends.

To reward myself, I stopped at the mall on my way in and bought this pair of lime green, patent leather Dansko clogs on the way in.  I'd been coveting them for some time, but at $120 I was resisting.

But the thing is, I'm one of the five people on the planet that lime green actually looks good on.  And, although you may not be able to tell, they're sort of striped, so they really are a versitile shoe.

The only downside of the shoes is that they are not metal-detector friendly.  The leather is held to the sole with staples all the way around the shoe, so they're always going to set the metal detectors off.  Which means they likely won't ever travel with me.

I think my shoe fetish is starting to specialize into colored patent leather shoes, since this is my second pair and I love them both dearly.

In the past year, every airport I've been through has required the removal of shoes at the security check point. Which means it doesn't make much difference, as all shoes are going through the xray. Clogs have the advantage of being easy to slip off and on.

I am green with envy (pun absolutely intended) that you are one of those lucky few who look good in lime green. It's a great color, but on most of us it makes us look ill.

Kaphine - There's the metal detector elsewhere problem, still. Outside the airport they don't generally have you remove your shoes, and the shoes will set of the detector and then I have to get wanded.

Ooh! Al will be *so* impressed!

Thanks for adding the new information, as well as your analysis. This is why your blog is one of the few I read that I also ever bother to comment on. I don't do it to hear myself talk - I do it because I know you actually listen.

A pure heart allows all others their dance and unfolding, even if the others end their incarnation in death or disease.

If you’ve done your homework on the property, know its value, understand the market and know how to control an auction, you will find yourself a great deal if you attend enough auctions.
