surrender, rend it, i'm yours.

Is it just me, or have Aldo shoes been utterly KILLING it lately?? I know their stuff isn't often the highest quality, but it takes me years to wear out shoes* and anyone of these pair would be quite the welcome addition to my shoe collection.

Mmm, brogues, t-straps, lace-ups and buckles. The last pair of booties are obviously Marc by Marc ripoffs, but they're 1) real leather and 2) on sale, making them nearly irrestible. I might just have to pull my credit card out for this one...




About the shoe collection, I stopped counting when I passed 40 pairs. I may not be Imelda Marcos, but for someone with as little closet space as I do, it feels like a shitload when they're all haphazardly piled on top of each other.

*I wear my shoes in pretty much constant rotation, so some pairs of shoes I've had since Grade 10 (about 4 years ago) still look brand new. As hard as I try to "break" the pairs I don't care about anymore, their condition never seems to wear. This explains why the sudden passing of my brown leather brogues was such a grievous shock.

I have to say I totally agree! I hadn't been to an Aldo store for awhile but I went last week and I was amazed at all the awesomeness - just wish I could wear half of them (don't handle the heels very well :S)

1) I love those T-straps.
2) I wear my shoes out so quick. I fall in love with a certain pair and wear them everywhere. It isn't until they are too far gone to save that I notice the worn out heel, the hole in the side, the sole coming undone, etc. Sad.

I like the look of those last pair of boots, although they are blatantly chloe knock offs. I seem to have the oppersite of your shoes problwm: i waer the smae pair of boots for months on end , and it akes me at least 2 months to find a suitable replacemnt. I get hooked on things.
Thnk for the link swap.

I would want those last ones too. Try some cheap plastic drawer storage for your closet. It holds more shoes than you would ever guess.

Thanks for your little supportive note, it means a lot to me. I'm starting to feel much better now. (cough, cough)

impressing stuff! i wish the aldo nearby my house carried these. for some reason, they're stocking the lamest pairs, but i'm guessing it's because of the customers nearby. [vomit]

I love the Goella style, I just hate the fact that they're shiny, if not I'd be on them, and I am a sneaker person!
