Monday Shoe Porn – Allene’s collection

L-A: I want to say “Happy Monday”, because it’s shoe porn day and that makes it happy, but Jian has gone and ruined that for me as he feels the need to wish us a happy every day of the frigging week.  Way to ruin that for me, Jian.

At least we have shoe porn. This week we have 22 lovely pairs from Allene.  This is my kind of shoe collection (and not just because she has a pair of Keds like mine) – a nice mix of heels, wedges, and flats. I admire you girls (and guys) who can wear killer heels all the time. I really do. But I’m a wimp and in the end, I just admire and put on flats.

The yellow wedges are pretty much awesome.  Also, can we talk about boots and calves?  Allene says she can’t find them to fit her calves because they’re too skinny. Now, I’m the opposite of that with my fat calves.  I know lots of girls who fall into both ends of the spectrum, but know far fewer who have a set of calves that boots just fit perfectly. I recently bought a pair of Aerosoles that have a second zip that allows them to accommodate for both “traditional” and fat “athletic” calves.  While I’m happy I found boots that fit, I’m completely thrown off by the term “traditional calves”. Who are they making these boots for? Explain this to me? Please?
