If the shoe fits, please don't post it
 
You might think of me as a heel, but can we give these shoe posts the boot. They are laced with silly thoughts. Sure, the loafers like to get involved, but they lack sole in their convictions. Only those who write posts late at night (call them sneakers if you will) like these casual shoe comments. It's simply sandalous we allow them to go on. Some of the posts are so simililar, I feel I can hear an Eco. Please hush pupppies. I say, when you see one of these shoe questions, just walk away, because if you answer, there will be trouble afoot.

Ha ha ha ha very funny, reminds me of the good old days when Fridays meant fun. What's the original website, are there other funny articles?

capo Apr 11th, 2003 01:32 PM

*LOL*...very nice!

Let's put the sole back into Fodors

LaurenSKahn Apr 11th, 2003 02:15 PM

Certainly gave me my laugh of the week. Now should I spend $250 on a pair of Mephistos to fit in or wear white sneakers? That should make TONGUES wag.

You have obviously danced to the MEPHISTO WALTZ once too often.

capo Apr 11th, 2003 02:36 PM

Quite a timely article...<BR><BR>&quot;Vancouver artist turns Nikes into soleful masks&quot;<BR><BR>http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/visual...inbrief11.html

I hope I don't put my foot in it, but the amount of 'shoe' posts at Fodor's is no mean feet. Let's hope the subject is on it's last leg. These shoe posts 'clog' up the system!

EnglishOne, does Boots (the chemist chain) still exist in England, or has it been stomped on by a competitor?

uuhhhh Apr 11th, 2003 03:22 PM

to keep it more instep, capo, that should be &quot;stomped on by its arch enemy&quot;.

capo Apr 11th, 2003 03:25 PM

Nice! :)<BR><BR>Looks like Boots does still exist. <BR><BR>http://www.wellbeing.com/

uhoh_busted Apr 11th, 2003 04:46 PM

gosh. Hope I don't get hosed for this one, and that no one thinks I'm just being a heel, but I'm flat out of sympathy for people who don't take foot comfort into consideration when planning their travel wardrobes.

uhoh_busted Apr 11th, 2003 04:48 PM

OK --where is the fashionista when you need them? SOCK IT TO ME!

LaurenSKahn Apr 11th, 2003 05:08 PM

One of the fashionistas is rumored to be in the Dordogne, France (wearing black Mephistos???), and no doubt will contribute to this thread in due course.

grandmere Apr 11th, 2003 05:21 PM

This thread is tongue-in-cheek, surely.

cigalechanta Apr 11th, 2003 05:24 PM

these boots are made for walking and gonna walk all over you.Converse-ly, I will send my Keds to a private school<BR>where no one wears Mephistos and all are Bjorn again christians.

strega Apr 11th, 2003 05:25 PM

Lauren, go take a pill.

cigalechanta Apr 11th, 2003 05:52 PM

Lesli, I hope you were not making a dig at another poster. not kind. I wear Mephistos because they fit my hard to fit wide feet long before Americans knew what they or Superas are. And I wear them for the same reason.<BR>I have been to a few forums where I know more of France than they do, but because my English is not up to their standards I am dismissed by a few, but the few who are so great there make it worth while to post as here. Here is a friendlier, funnier, loving group. I hope we can keep it that way and bring back alot who left because they were insulted but that happens when a few become too &iuml;n&quot; or &euml;xclusive&quot; This is Fodors site, not anyone group's. Let's welcome newbies, bring bacl oldies and try to enjoy this life in troubled times.

cigalechanta Apr 11th, 2003 06:07 PM

Excuse me, I meant Lauren!!!!
