i hate platform boots, i just wear my converses or my vans, you can make them look goth if you wear them with the right things, and who cares if your strange enough most people dont pay much attention to the feet....

I don't think anyone was specifically worried about looking "strange enough". I just like pretty spooky boots. Doesn't have anything to do with whether people look at my feet or not.

I received an observatory comment from an 80+ year old lady in the bus the other day when she noticed my New Rocks. Looking a little strange is awsome. :p

Thanks to Cicero coming to visit in Melbourne we went on a 'little' shopping expedition. Along with the purchases is 100% pure awesomeness in the form of pointy, bat buckle boots. :)

Have to post a picture on Picture Post sometime...

I need new shoes...I have fewer pairs of shoes than I've had ex boyfriends in the last year...that should never happen ><

Dont know if anyone else has suggested this as my pooter is being so slow at the moment it wont let me look at the other pages of replies.....anyhow i get my shoes form ebay, chunky black platform trainers , love em!!! also go some new rock ankle boots for s song on there.......worth a try if you're skinT!

I never spens much on boots, lol. I ru them to death rather quickly.

doc martins the way to go!

the longeh cut is best =)

i hate the doc martin look of there shoes they all look the same, try to go to a doc martin shoe store and try them on...they dont look that great. yellow stitching, huge rubber soul thing that sticks out...bah, my mom me a bought a pair and i hate to say it but hey just look bad..get mac's steal toe boots at target...or combats at a army surplus store if your looking for that stuff.

I have
1 pair Rockwood Steel toecapped commando soled work boots.
1 Pair suede slipons but with sports shoe soul
1 Pair of short black plain pointy cowboy boots
1 pair black Chucks

I like some of the New Rock Styles but I don't need the height even though the cowboy boots have the 2" cuban heel. Just remembered need to get the sole repaired. It split from one side to the other.
I miss proper goth pointy toed, low heeled boots with zips up the middle and straps with buckles (skulls or bats sometimes) in plain black leather or suede not mixed. No fancy moulding. No big steel spikes or chains.
Just plain pointy boots.

I have a pair of dress shows and short combat boots, both black. Though, what I WANT is:

-1 pair riding boots
-1 pair go go boots (knee high block heel)

Thanks for making me a crossdresser, Rozz!

Lol. I have a problem with buying shoes, I think I'm obsessed. I'm always blowing my money on shoes actually...and the theater and japanese food too...gah I see why i'm always broke now.. =\

I admit it.

I'm a shoe whore.

The last time I posted in this thread, all I owned was a pair of worn out Italian doc-marten-esque lace-ups. Since then, the family has expanded...

A Family Portrait.

Not pictured is a pair of these beauties, which are currently living under my bed in Australia as I have little use for them in Malaysia's tropical weather (indeed, I have little use for most of my knee-high leather darlings here...). In the heat and humidity I prefer to traipse around in a pair of black leather flip flops with studs. Gothic flip flops do exist!

That's a very nice collection you have. Way to make me envious!

P.S. Current 93!!! \m/

Your best bet are Docs. I personally prefer Combat boots of the steel-toed variety, as I'm naturally a tall, muscular kind of guy, and they suit me better. Just look around, and find some you want.I never pay attention to brand names, and buy what looks cool. What I'm wearing right now, they're just black work boots I got from Survivor.

Also try thrift stores. I got these insanely cute and gothy shoes for $1.50. Perfect fit, too.

I have some for sale! buy mine!

New shoes! Very similar to these, though a little bit chunkier. I love them!

I wear a really cool pair of Emily the Strange combat boots. The soles say "Get lost" and the straps have "these boots are made for kicking" on them.
But they are lightweight since I have CMT and can't wear the really heavy ones.

I just got a pair of blk patent leather block-heel boots I ordered from eBay. They look damn sexy on me (for a male, that is :p), but they only zip up a few inches above my ankle, damn it! I'm going to try to exhange these for a bigger pair. It was funny the first time I stood in them, though. "Whoah!" I shouted as I stumbled around aimlessly. :D

I'm getting a pair of them after Xmas! I'll probably wear them more than my other boots, as it looks like I'll be able to squeeze my big calves into them much easier. They come with a set of red ribbons too!

Here are my favorite boots: England Undergrounds:

These are awesome. I think I found my next pair of shoes.

Whoa! Dude! I am going to get me a pair of the ones on the left, I could actually get away with wearing those to work. Not my boots though. :(
