Ross. I live and die by Ross. But only if you don’t want a specific particular thing that day– basically you just have to periodically check the shoe area and buy everything that fits and costs between 10-25 dollars. I wear almost exclusively flats, and I’ve gotten some pretty cute mid-priced brands (Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Bandolino) there.

@Krisserin Canary@twitter Wedges from Zappos are a large part of my solution to that problem. I have a very high arch that makes a large toe box necessary and Naturalizer sells many wedges in W and WW. They aren’t the most daringly fashionable shoes in the world but they are basic, cute, and comfortable.

EBAY! It’s kind of a time suck/addictive (so addictive!), but if you’re patient and know your size in whatever brand you’re hunting, it’s pretty easy to score good quality pieces at reasonable prices.

@worstkase and now the response to “i love your nails!” is a saucy double entendre. please use with discretion.

So the thing about cheap shoes, which is really frustrating for me, is they are really bad for your feet AND the scale of “cheap” in these terms runs from your $35 J Crew flats (which I’m sure are super cute) to $100 flats you’d buy at say, Nordstrom. It is near IMPOSSIBLE to find cute, affordable, comfortable, and foot-friendly shoes. People are selling shoddily-made shoes that are bad for your feet and charging a mint. It’s criminal. It’s modern day foot-binding! (okay, that’s dramatic). I want to look cute but I don’t want to hobble around in my old age. What is the solution? Does one exist?

@worstkase I just started singing “America the Beautiful” at my desk, a single tear rolling dramatically down my cheek. :’(
