Shoe Purchase - What was I thinking?

instar · May 15, 2007

I bought these shoes because they were my size, a decent brand, and certainly cheap. I like the shoes, but when, and with what should I wear them?

Description: Here are brand new, Italian-designer (Romano Martegani) dress-loafers; slate grey suede with snake-skin trim; made in Italy; size 10.5 U.S

Thanks for any suggestions

How about this?

That was my first thought - they had to be women's shoes. But I guess not. I'm sure I'll find just the right time and place to wear these - although I may not mention it to my mother. Thanks for the suggestion anyway

Make sure you wear them with something "flouncy" it is summer after all. You go girl.

If you wore them at the beach they might not look so weird.

I logged on to the International Male site, because they create clothes which would suit these shoes Their Wilshire Blvd moccasin is quite similar to your shoes. Start with the Terrace Henley How about some linen pants, preferably in a similar shade of blue, like this I agree it has a beachy feel to it, but I also felt it might be a little feminine, to wear with capri style shorts like this Here's an image of what I created using MSPaint, with images from the site. Pardon my poor artistry. I'd recommend having a look around the site. Try not to create one of their actual outfits, as they can damage your dignity and your retinas, unless Mediterranean Guido is what you're going for.

Why do you guess not?

Well, the size for one thing. Of course they may be sized for drag queens, I don't know. Not knowing any drag queens personnally. Come to think of it, my sister wears a womens size 13 - that'd be about a mens 10 1/2 I suppose. Maybe when I've had my fun she can borrow 'em.

Size 10.5 U.S. in mens sizing should be much longer than 11.5" long. The measurements sound like a women's size 10.5 (which is equivalent to a men's size 9).

Those shoes certainly aren't my cup of tea, but I agree with an earlier poster that casual linen outfits might work with them. I think you're going to have to experiment a fair bit to find a look that works... but hopefully the experiment will stop short of ***********ing!

Wear them with the right attitude and soon everyone will want a pair.

Sign me up -- did you happen to notice if there were any of that model available in 13E?
