Shoe Boxers

There is a lot to Tommy Hilfiger, with the selection of cologne, clothing in men’s, women’s and children, along with shoes in the same category as well. Tommy Hilfiger has everything in the handbag line as well. As well as belts, jackets, hoodies and coats. Tommy Hilfiger has even gone as far as offering a line in the home furnishings category as well. One of Shoe Boxers favorite shoe is the Women’s Tommy Hilfiger Ginger.

Tommy Hilfiger not your thing, then why not give Gucci a try. This brand has been around since models have been hitting the runways. Their line is one of the most popular among women, but there is a Gucci men’s line as well. They carry fashion that keeps up with the trends of the present day and continue to show that they are one of the main ones that will stick it out till the end. There shoe line is one of the best and one of the most expensive as well. The shoes are well constructed and Shoe Boxers just loves the Gucci Women’s Babouska.

Prada is among the same category as Gucci with the availablity and price of their clothing and accessories, but with one difference. Prada can’t be found in some stores like Gucci can. Prada is only found in high in specialty stores and offer a minuet selection at that. Shoe Boxers has come to realize that Prada is better purchased right off the main Prada website then going on a mad hunt looking to the fab fall collection of many shoes and accessories. Shoe Boxers love the Prada Men’s Shell Collection Shoe.

I hate to admit it, but I recently bought a pair of Aerosoles. They aren’t the most stylish shoes on the planet, but they certainly do rate high in the comfort category. I really do have a twisted sense of priorties. I sincerely believe that shoes should look better than they feel. That’s all well and good until you have to stand for a few hours, slapping makeup on someone’s face. (I’m a makeup artist by trade). And while I have worked in stilettos, high heeled boots, platform sandals and more unreasonalbly uncomfortable shoes, due to a recent injury, I have had to conform to a sensible shoe. (Sensible is truly subjective here, since I consider Jimmy Choo’s to be sensible). Aerosoles has new styles in, many of which are following shoe trends. Platforms and wedges among them.

Aerosoles flats, pretty cute. I can imagine I’m wearing Gucci flats because of that little metal doo dad on the top of the shoe. Reminicent of the Gucci horse bit. I like the black patent. Does it compare to Gucci though?

My best friend always wears shoes based on comfort. Since we wear the same size, I’ve been grabbing her shoes and trying them on recently. Now, I’m on the hunt for more comfortable, sensible reasonable shoes. She turned me on to a brand called Born. Being the mother to teenagers, I was thinking about the band Korn — but no, shoes named Born. She also wears Clarks. So I did a little online shopping research and came up with two pair that I could wear if I didn’t look down at my feet.

Danskos are extremely popular among doctors, nurses, chefs, waiters, waitresses — others that spend untold hours on their feet. They are just not the kind of shoe that works with my fashionista outlook. Maybe with pants…

Mephisto is another brand that may be comfortable, but I’ll pass. Just too ugly. And I can’t forget the shoe that’s reigns supreme in my neck of the woods (I live on the Berkeley border), the ever ugly, ever comfortable Birkenstock. The last time I wore these shoes, I was pregnant with my first daughter. My feet spread out so much from all that wide open space, that I had to invest in a whole new shoe wardrobe after she was born. No Berkies for me!

The only good thing about this mission to find comfortable shoes, is that I get to shop!

Gucci made a beautiful platform pump this year. Well, a few versions of the platfrom pump. I love these shoes. It has a nice pointy toe, the perfect heel height and a subtle platform. Apparently J Lo and Pam Anderson love them too.

So you may be wondering, how do you know that the shoe is Gucci? Well, just think about a car you love. A Porsche C4 Carrera Cabriolet for example. How do you know it’s a C4? Because you love the car and if you don’t own one, you probably dream about it or have it on your screensaver on your computer. Ditto shoes. Not that they are on my screensaver, but the images are indelibly printed on my mind. Plus it says Gucci right on the outside front of the platform. Now check out Pam Andersons Gucci. Same platform, but a sassier Red Open Toe Ankle Strap version. Matches her personna wouldn’t you say?

Pam and Jen, great taste in shoes. Can’t say as much about your taste in men…

Just got an email from Saks that the Gucci cruise line of shoes is in. I never really paid attention how popular these cruise lines are. (Check out my blog about Jimmy Choo’s cruise line at Saks a few days ago.) Anyway, they look great. Lots of open toes and neutral colors. I happen to be in love with the chunky wedge heel sandal with ankle strap in black suede. Of course it has the requisite Gucci gold horsebit ornament on the toe. Trés chic. It also comes in a color called Cur. For your information and mine, that’s a brown that’s a tad past caramel but not quite cocoa. I’m also in love with the Hollywood slide. It reminds me of the ones that Della Stret used to wear on Perry Mason. Lastly is the clog inspired mule made with signature Gucci sand colored fabric. Very South Beach. Quite cruise worthy.

Things, slides, mules, evening pumps and even a boot are part of this collection. For the life of me, I can’t understand why anyone on a cruise would need a “Montana Boot”.

Since no Carribean, Mediterranean or World Cruises are in my near future, I’ll just slide on my mules, don some “stunna” shades and cruise on over to Whole Foods to do my shopping for dinner.
