So while they are not at all fashion forward they are classic, and I figured they deserved to come out of the closet. Maybe I'll think of a reason to wear them soon. Maybe.
Shoe Style Saturday, on a Sunday night!
Happy 4th of July to all!

Stripes But No Stars
On Saturday, Dani posted her weekly Shoe Style Saturday featuring some very chic, if never worn shoes. I think my reply to her was something like, "I've got nothing." Her shoes were that hot. Thirty-six hours later, it occurred to me that I do have shoes that haven't seen the light of day much more than Dani's have. They are not hot, but since they're striped, I thought I'd share them here, you know, for the Fourth!
I bought these classic espadrilles at TJ Maxx about five years ago. I've worn them about five times, and for only a short period each time. Yes, they are comfy, but since the ribbon ties are meant to go 'round my ankles to the bottom of my calves, they slide a lot and they're very annoying. Annoying shoes.

I love that you seem so sensible but you are a shoe addict! :)
I remember having a pair of wedgies back in the 70s that laced up my leg like those. I had to tie them so tight they cut into my legs to keep from sliding around in them. Hated them!
Those are incredibly cute and they're stylish ~ you can find them at various stores. I have lace~ups but don't wear them for the very same reasons that you mentioned.
I WANT!!!!! :)
Those are so cute! Could you shorten the straps so you would only have to wrap them twice?
I can't say I'm much of a fan for the wedge. I know, it's the style, but I just can't bring myself to invest. With my luck, it'll go out of style in a month and then I'll be branded… a slow, slow fashionista. Not like my name and fashionista have ever, EVER used in the same sentence. ha!
When he came across the photo shoot last night, Brad asked me why I never wear them...so I think I need to find a day, soon!
I have a pair of tie-up shoes, I wrap them around my ankle about two times and tie a bow in the back. I had to shorten the ribbon a bit, but it eliminated the annoyance of having them slide down my calf!
I was going to suggest what Erin did. Can you wear them tied at your ankle?
They are super cute!
