I’m sure personality has more to do with it than anything, but I have often wondered if toe shape is related to anything physical – say, jawline or anything. I really think about this stuff.
So if designer sneakers say the wearer is trendy and proud of it, what do my newly thrifted ($6.95) plum-colored, textured micro-suede Keds say? LOL 
Miss Meghan?
I love the color! Were they brand new? They look like they’ve never been worn! Good score, Rebecca!
Thanks Carrie!
They certainly look brand new, but they didn’t still have tags on them. They do have the size sticker on the inside and it doesn’t show any wear at all.
I tried to find them on zappos and shoes.com without any success, but I think the color is very current. Plus it cracks me up: Keds is such a grandma label, ultra-conservative. But I remember the last time they were in style; it was right on the heels of the last converse cycle. So I’m taking a flyer that keds will come back and I’ll be there ahead of everyone else. (*laughing at self*)
I definitely think the shape of the toes of the shoes that one looks best in or prefers is related to other body shapes. I think of myself as having a lot of blunted roundnes or curving straightness 🙂 whether it’s the kind of hourglass I am or something like the rounded high cheekbones I have – and I prefer an oval sort of toe. I think I look ridiculous in pointed toes. Every one I have ever tried – being seduced by the other features of the shoe – I have had to take right off. And a completely round toe is equally horrible.
Well good, I’m glad that didn’t sound too nutty. I also look positively ridiculous in pointy toes and, I’m proud to say, have completely sat that trend out. (Sometimes I end up participating in a small way, even if the trend is something I don’t like.)
I want to try the round toe. We’ll see.
They say you & my 4yo should be fast friends. I told DH that he is reeeeally lucky that “I” don’t have a shoe fetish… Because SHE will! lol
These are my new shoes. 🙂 I love them and they go with everything from dresses to jeans. AWESOME! Who knew I was a sneaker woman?
I’m not sure how to take that. 😉 But I’m sure if I had the opportunity to meet your daughter we would be friends.
Those shoes are really cute. They’re almost just like the ones Charity Grace got last year; she said they have lasted really well.
Oh, it’s all good Rebecca. I promise. 🙂
DD LOVES shoes in bright, shiney and/or unusual colors. So far, in her 4 short years, she’s had two pairs of sparkley red “Dorothy in Oz” shoes – at her own choosing. I wouldn’t wear purple shoes, so I immediately thought of DD when I saw them.
No, I wasn’t insinuating you have a shoe fetish… DD will though. 😛 lol
That’s fun! When my younger daughter was little she had multiple pairs of the pink fringed cowgirl boots and, for summer, pink Saltwaters. She still laments that you can’t get either of those in her size (she’s the one pictured recently in the shiny cowboy boots 🙂 ).
lol We’ve had pink cowboy boots too! Too funny. I couldn’t get them off of her until she grew out of them. My mom (and the pastor’s wife) has threatened to buy her another pair. Daddy’s doesn’t share her keen love to them, so we’ve passed for now.
Females and their shoes… I happen to be a vintage shoe girl myself. Nice conservative colors, but sweet feminine styles. Ana likes good dresses, but hasn’t gotten that far in shoes. 😉
What an amazing shoe find!
