iCiNG Days Of Christmas: Solestruck!
[ 11 December 2008 ]
I LOVE SHOES! Solestruck are one of my favourite online shoe stores, & not just because they sent me a free pair! Their customer service is unparalleled & they’re such a nice bunch of people, their emails always make me smile!
More proof that they are lovely? Solestruck are giving away a pair of shoes to one lucky nonpareil! HOORAY!
So, to be in to win, all you have to do is…
Pick your favourite pair of shoes from Solestruck — up to the value of $200 — & tell us where & when you’d wear them! (Make it fantastic & unrealistic if you want to!)
For example…
I would wear the Guess Borda platform mary jane with a pair of ripped stockings, a leather miniskirt & teased bunny hair to go & hang out with Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen! Oh, WAIT, I did!
In that case… I would wear the Pastry Fab Cookie sneaker to chase unicorns through a holographic forest! Then we would have a picnic, do some beat-boxing & have a nap in an industrial-sized hammock. (Unicorns are excellent beat-boxers, you know — it’s one of their lesser-known skills!)
Alright then, how about you?
You have 48 hours. The clock starts… now! This contest is (very sadly) only open to residents of the USA, because shipping on shoes can be killer — though I’m sure that if you were happy to pay the shipping costs, that would be okay with them!
Best of luck!
Love letters & feather headdresses,
Add Gala on Twitter!
I would wear the patent lace up oxfords to my major Engineering presentation next semester to both look sophisticated and feel spicy enough to pull things off with perfect confidence.

i would wear my choice in boots to a cyberpunk future, or, at least to my desk when i write about a cyberpunk future. whichever comes first.
(bonus, it matches my ready-for-the-apocalypse medic bag!)

I would wear Jeffrey Campbell’s Driggs in my library, smoking a pipe and wearing a flannel cape!
http://www.solestruck.com/jeffrey-campbell-driggs-tan-leather/index.html
I would wear these fake snake skin heels to my high school graduation, with nothing under my robe but them and some body jewelry,
www.solestruck.com/steve
I would wear the Rocket Dog Chain Gang boots to New York City, after a fierce snack-n-tune filled road trip, just to go see a punk show, where I’d meet eccentric people who would tell me stories about everything I’ve never thought of. I’m pretty sure one of those eccentric people would be a 56 year old woman who has been punk club hoppin’ her whole life with bright pink hair and low slung leather pants who would tell me stories about the good old days when the only way a show could count as worth the time was if she came out of it bleeding and having to pee, covered in mystery goop. Then she’d have me hang out at her cat-ridden apartment and we’d bake cookies and hand them out on the street to people whose style made us think they were worth our dough and chocolate.
And I mean this is besides the fact that I’d wear these everywhere all the time.
www.solestruck.com/rocket
I’d adorn my feet in the the Betseyville Bethany wedges (http://www.solestruck.com/betseyville-bethany-blue/index.html). I’d teeter around in them in a small coastal town with a cute fellow: eating gelati out of cups as we explore and have adventures, and then hiring a rowboat for the whole afternoon!
Just after midnight with the moon full and pregnant, I would strap on my Burgundy Rocket Dog Apple Pie Mary Jane’s and step out onto the lawn where I would wait for the monthly space ship from some unknown planet to beam down some new editions to my ever growing cat collection.
I believe them to be the perfect shoes befitting a future crazy cat lady .

Hunter rainboots in purple (“Iris”) – www.solestruck.com/hunter
I’d wear them with a hugely voluminous tiered purple tutu, a slinky silver sequined top, & bright yellow suspenders. I’d carry a purple & yellow polka-dotted umbrella. I’d have a purple flower pinned into my hair, which would be pulled back in an elegant chignon bun to keep it dry. Under the tutu would be a hint of color, my bright yellow tights. My wrists would be piled high with yellow & purple lucite bangles that clinked together when I walked, & a big clunky purple digital watch.
“Great Scott!” I’d say, upon consulting the latter. “I’m about to be late for my date with Ellen DeGeneres!” But it wouldn’t matter, because at that moment, I’d reach the café, accidentally-on-purpose trip on a gentleman patron’s leg, & fall into Ellen’s lap oh-so-gracefully, at which point she would kiss me passionately. “My oh my,” I’d think to myself, “what a perfect first date!”
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
size 9
and I would wear them with a corset, a masquerade mask, and a petticoat to the moulin rouge
I would wear the Seychelles Too Many Cooks with a mini skirt and awesome attitude. Going out for a night on the town with these shoes with the sole (get it? sole? hahaha) mission of getting cupcakes to eat under the moonlight with girlfriends while boys walk by and wish they were the cupcakes in hand.
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
I would wear them to San Diego while running from club to club in the Gaslight District…dancing the night away.
I would wear Steve Madden Impereal, in black, with a sleek little slip dress, and some black tights. I would go out with some friends to have martinis in a smokey bar.
www.solestruck.com/steve
I’d wear the DOLCE VITA MADISON to my first kiss in the rain. And I’d do the leg pop and it’ll be adorable.
www.solestruck.com/betseyville
I’d wear these pink-and-white wonders on my quest to kidnap Michael Ian Black, whom I would then convince to have a tea party with me & dozens of friends in a local park. We each tea cup would be filled with scoops of ice cream sundaes, instead of any form of beverage. We would all wear crowns and behave like royalty, with a royal jousting match taking place afterwards (with foam swords only, of course.)
We would play hide-and-go-seek and traipse around town merrily, singing silly songs formerly forgotten and skin our knees playing red rover.
Oh, I have the prettiest pink dress to wear them with when it happens too. Joy!
I would wear the “Oh Deer Gelato” stilettos in black with a pair of perfectly fitting red skinny jeans and a black sequin halter top. It would match perfectly with stunning red lips, a smokey eye, and big hair.
The energy would be super high when I went to my five year high school reunion and then met up with some old buddies to go clubbing in LA. We’d party all night and find ourselves in an adorable cafe for coffee in the morning (still looking stunning of course).
www.solestruck.com/nina
I’d wear these babies with black tights, a tight black t-shirt, and a big poofy skirt in some ridiculously shocking color… like hot pink!
I live in Canada but I would certainly shell out for shippin :)
OH DEER! STRATA
Worn by me when I become a vampire in Italy and join the mafia, used to emphasize killer legs as I take out loads of hits and earn some badass rep.
Or, you know, just going to a club to make an appearance. Whatever. :)
http://www.solestruck.com/oh-deer!-strata-black-smith/index.html
I would pack up a small bag and drive all the way down to NYC in one day. Hunt around and find a swing club somewhere, and lindy hop the night away with handsome strangers. I would wear a polka dot dress and red lipstick with my hair in those 1940’s side rolls that they did. I would call everyone “dahling” and answer only to the name Sweet Jane.
www.solestruck.com/guess
I would wear the snake skin, Steve Madden, ‘Maddiee’ heels, (http://www.solestruck.com/steve-madden-maddiee-natural-snake/index.html) with a slinky black lace dress, to the wedding of my ex.
I would walk into the church late, purposely swinging the doors open in a gust of wind that whips my hair around, so that everyone turns around to take a look. I’d then stride confidently down the aisle and sit down on the new wife’s side of the church so that my ex and his family can all get a good look at me and my new heels. :p
This gladiator inspired pump makes me so excited!! www.solestruck.com/sam
I would be in Italy, sipping on coffee outside a local cafe in my gladiator pumps, skinny jeans, and off-the-shoulder black sequined top. An incredibly gorgeous Italian man catches my attention and after we’re done having eye-sex, he approaches me. Of course he doesn’t speak much English, which is fine by me, and offers to take me sight seeing on the back of his scooter.
So we travel the streets of Rome and he takes me to the Colosseum to take in the awesome architecture. I wander around in awe of it’s detail and imagine myself as a sexy gladiator trotting around in my killer pumps while the audience looks on.
Afterward, he takes me out to dinner where we sample divine wine, and after we’re both a little buzzed, we head back to his place where he shows me how gracious Italians are for American tourists ;)
hee!
I would wear the May hidden heel boots by Eighty Twenty with my knee-length, red, tutu-esque petticoat and a black corset. Perhaps I’d throw my (always faux) fur coat on top (over a slouchy cardigan- playing with proportions is always lovely)and tease my hair into a bird’s nest. Then I’d board the next flight to San Francisco and join a circus there (aerial silks, yes ma’am). Seeing as I’m going to San Francisco and have signed up for the aerial silks classes and own the other clothes… the shoes are the only thing that makes this vision a fantasy!

I would wear the snake skin, Steve Madden, ‘Maddiee’ heels, ( http://www.solestruck.com/steve-madden-maddiee-natural-snake/index.html ) with a slinky black lace dress, to the wedding of my ex.

www.solestruck.com/betseyville
I would walk through the cobblestone streets of Paris in these adorably vegan shoes. With skinny jeans, a lacey tank top, and an oversized cardigan, some hot french boy would see me in these shoes and fall hopelessly in love.
I would walk around the house naked in a pair of “Burbs” by Jeffrey Campbell:
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
I wear these oxford booties everywhere. You would see them hanging off the end of my tiny bed when I went to sleep. I would wear them with argyle socks, tight tight jeans and a vest. They would go on every late night adventure with me. They would be the perfect companion to wander pavements and hidden paths looking for secret notes.
I’d coat my feet in these Rocket Dog Chain Gang Boots, accompanied by an empire waist black jacket and ripped white tights.
Promptly after becoming dressed, I would take my best friend out for coffee in our favorite place where we would both look undeniably stylish.
Soon after, we would both be found romping around in the snow,making snow angels and building snow castles.

I would wear these: www.solestruck.com/franco , the Novita boot, while kicking ass and taking names
www.solestruck.com/sam
when my fiance comes back home from boot camp next month, i would greet him in these shoes and a black trench coat while holding a bottle of bubbly ;).
My Rocket Dog Popcorn boots are going with me to the moon. It’s okay — they’re yellow, so the cheese won’t show if I scuff my feet when Michael Jackson teaches me how to walk in a low-G environment. We’ll practice all morning, then break for a lunch of avocado and apple butter sandwiches to refuel before setting off to find the cache of diamonds Buzz Aldrin bribed an aquarium mermaid to steal from Liz Taylor in the 1960s. MJ suspects it’s somewhere in the Moon Rabbit’s Easter basket; I’m hedging my bets on the Man in the Moon’s left nostril, or at the very bottom of the Sea of Tranquility.
oh man i have wanted rain boots for so long.
i would wear them with a bright blue dress and yellow cardigan with a huge blue whale necklace walking the streets of paris winking at the cute foreign boys swinging my hips but ill have the secret that i have a boyfriend and they have no chance.
I would wear these fabulous Demore heels by Jessica Simpson to the Museum of Modern Art. I’d tug these lovely babies onto my ripped-tights-clad toesies and throw a black slip on. I’d wear a string of knotted pearls and my favorite owl brooch pinned onto a slouchy black beret. I’d click-clack down the halls and pretend to stare intelligently at the paint-flung walls, while checking out the perfectly scruffy man standing beside me.

Okay, maybe this sounds more boring than anyone else’s, but: www.solestruck.com/dansko
Yes. Practical-looking, comfortable shoes, so that I can finally go on rounds not wearing sneakers with my grown up professional fairy doctorperson clothes. It looks funny, but I’m a medical student, so standing for 9+ hours in any other shoe I have tried is not fun. Technically we’re supposed to be dressed completely professionally, after dying first in surgery wearing my closed-toed boots (only closed-toe shoe I had…) and the second time in my open-toed sandal heels (bad, bad, bad, and not doable were I on surgery that week!) I just wore my sneakers. \o/
I’d wear them with my white coat and stethoscope-as-a-necklace and fairy wings. ;)
the shoes that i’ve chosen are the jeffrey campbell studded platforms (http://www.solestruck.com/jeffrey-campbell-burbs-black-silver/index.html).
with fall fashion week fast approaching, i’ve been hoping to sneak into the tents for the third time. these heels would blow all those street style photographers away, i just know it. kate lanphear would be jealous. plus, a girl’s gotta have her studs to give her some security, don’t you agree?

Hair disheveled.
An over-sized bat wing collared black shirt. Or something v. Comme des Garcons.
Dark Cheap Mondays.
Mascara running.

- Gala have you ever watched Charlie the Unicorn on youtube? If not, you simply must..idk if you’ll love it as much as i did but it fav’d instantly. I LOOOVVEE it. It’s frikkin hilarious. I quote it on a daily basis “Shun the nonbeliever..shhuuunnnnn”
-ok now for my entry haha
I would wear a off the shoulder oversized white tshirt with skinny jeans, & these babies www.solestruck.com/report
and one of those little hats with the lil veils… [random i KNOW] and my locs pulled into a low loose messy bun. Oh and some leather biker gloves. [even more random] I’d go out for a night on the town in nowhere else but the village! Yes huny, I’d go to a big ball full of girls, boys, girlboys, boygirls, queens, kings, bois, womyn, ftm, mtf..EVERYONE! & Just let the house beat pump thru my veins. I’d get up and WORK! I’d battle all the queens and I’d be a lil diva for the night! I’d walk face and just be fierce! Then I’d walk & do one of the wat categories [with a twist] & come back the true tomboy that i am. Yes, draws will drop, tongues will roll….& then the house of Ninja will approach me to be their new it girl.
Oh, and then sumwhere inbetween all that I’d be a great photographer, a great dj, a cupcake baker, jewelry maker, and over all fierce entity to be reckoned with.
[three thousand gay references included. should I explain?]
It would have to be the Baby Phat ‘Trinity’ in black…
www.solestruck.com/baby
Because they are HOTTTTT!!! and quite unusual looking.
I would wear them to my 21st for sure :D

I’d wear the Steve Madden Gimbals in cognac with green legwarmers, cut off denim shorts, and my brown flowy top. I’d switch them to night by ripping off the legwarmers, throwing on a plum mini dress with flowy puffy sleeves and my hair straight. But as always I would throw on my tiara and eye mask when it was crime fighting time.
I would wear the KIPP Chinese Laundry boots with a short black dress and black buddy holly glasses and a plaid snow cap. For an added twist I’d have lots of jewelry on and an intoxicating perfume. I’d spend the day riding a moped along the streets of Vancouver and I’d meet a bunch of locals who could take me to all the hot spots. I might finish the day off by jet setting to L.A. and talking Rachel Zoe’s assistant into letting me play dress up in her closet, where I’d match the boots with every outfit accessible to me, and let Rachel watch and say “wow you look bananas”& “that outfit is perfection” while snapping away 308432 polaroids of me and my cute boots.

Wow, I am head-over-heels in love with these shoes (hooray for atrocious puns!). As a rather nerdy history student, I often feel compelled to dress rather anachronistically, and these shoes are absolutely PERFECT. They are so deliciously androgynous and understated – I’d like to wear them with a vintage skirt, knit stockings, a frilly top and perhaps a killer scarf (and maybe a pair of old glasses) – it would be delightful!
My new shoes and I would travel the world together, and I’d feel right at home studying 19th-century European social movements (or whatever) in such wickedly sexy-librarian-yet-still-comfortable-and-reasonable-for-walking-vast-distances shoes! I’d probably wear them all over Prague next summer, leaving sexy and intriguing footprints wherever I went… I’m fairly certain these shoes would also make me feel smarter, and may in fact give me academic super powers.
Camper Damas 20631 www.solestruck.com/camper
I’d definitely be in an Alice and Wonderland type of adventure wearing these shoes. I’d wear these with some white tights and a yellow peter pan collared dress (with matching black headband and belt, of course!). I’d probably fall into a well at some abandoned cottage in Amsterdam and end up hanging out with talking bears and foxes :). I’d beat them at cards.
I’d wear Dolce Vita Mollys (mary-jane stilettos) with a turtleneck, a pencil skirt, and my new cat’s-eye glasses. I always fantasize that I’m a sexy librarian!
www.solestruck.com/dolce
I would wear the Report Dane: www.solestruck.com/report
I would wear these to a party full of tall people so I could fit in! ...Not really. In reality I’d go all-out with mismatched colors, a flouncy skirt, and some sort of crazy headpiece. I’d hang out in bakeries and book shops all day, not saying a word, just taking in the smell of muffins and old books.
These make me think of a mod librarian in a way. Love them!
www.solestruck.com/ben
I would wear these lovely Ben Sherman shoes trekking through the streets of Moscow next winter. They’re sophisticated shoes to go with a sophisticated look; maybe a peacoat, beret, skirt, and thick wool tights. I may be living in Russia in biter-cold wintertime, but I’ll look like a haute American tourist doing so!
Jeffrey Campbell
CAMP 2 shoes
id wear them everywhere, becuse ive never had shoes that cost more then 20 dollars
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
shoegasm alert (yes, i dared to say that word).
i’d wear these a concert with bright tights and all black everywhere else. with lots of chains. and silver jewelry. it’ll be my “tough/glam/rocker-chick” look.
www.solestruck.com/steve
There’s this cute little shoe store right next on campus, right next to my then-favorite restaurant, and a month or two ago these shoes were on display in the window, and every time I went to get a chicken caesar pita at the restaurant next door, I would stand there and just dream about them, ah! My stomach flipped when I saw them at solestruck, I might have to save up and get them anyway because I think it’s meant to be, hehe.
I would wear them with a short light pale pale pale blue dress, a silver pocket watch on a chain. AND if it was rainy, perhaps a pink umrella. Or a ruffley black one… Ahh..!
I think its perfect attire in which to take pictures of people napping in public places. That always cracks me up, hehe.
I would wear the Steve Madden Vulture shoes with black tights and a black trench coat walking my golden retriever in the park looking for my potential future husband.
www.solestruck.com/steve
I’d be happy to pay shipping to Canada.
I’d wear the Baby Phat Glamour boots with black leggings, a black woolen dress, a big red parka, and a furry russian hat – and red lipstick! I would wear them to my cabin in the woods in Siberia and have a faun on a leash who eats treats out of my hands.
Or…
Rocketdog Apple Pie.
I’d wear em with grey ribbed stockings, a white lacy babydoll dress, and a parasol. I’d trundle down the paths of some big botanical garden and have birds land on my shoulders.
I’d start out wearing my Franco Sarto Novitas at “Firefly” conventions. Slowly, they’d creep into my everyday wear until I was constantly living in a dystopian space-cowboy future. With my boots on my feet and my friends at my side, no power in the ‘verse could stop me!
Oh Deer! Starlite www.solestruck.com/oh
I would wear these shoes as I walked down the streets of New York City. I’d be wearing a teal skirt and a black corset top. I’d have a pink cadet style hat with purple jewelry. I would meet my girlfriends for drinks at our local spot and then head to my art exhibit. Afterwards, my boy and I would head back to my apartment and order Chinese food and watch old movies…until 11:30 and then we would walk to Times Square to say goodbye to one year and hello to the next!
I would wear the Palladium Bellingham (http://www.solestruck.com/palladium-bellingham-black/index.html) in the workshop as I built my very own rocket pack! After creating said rocket pack, I would fly around the world distributing gifts to underprivileged children and fighting crime—at the same time.
www.solestruck.com/dolce
I’d wear the Dolce Vita Daisy gladiators on my days off working on an archaeological dig in Egypt, paired with a simple linen dress and wood bangles. They would also go well with harem pants!
www.solestruck.com/dolce
I would walk down a side street in New York to the sounds of the city, clutching my black trench to ward off the chilled, night air. My boyfriend would be around the corner and up in his apartment waiting for me. I would walk up those stairs smiling enigmatically and step through the door. He’ll smile and say, “Take off your coat” which I’ll do obligingly, dressed only in my black power heals and a smile.
www.solestruck.com/report IN BROWN OF COURSE
Well besides never going anywhere in anything but these i would just have to take a trip to the u-district in seattle with my best friend to do unnecessary loads of laundry and feel straight outta Beaches.
the wide leg flares and flowy top would just be a must but i’m still not sure as to how i would look with fire engine red hair in corkscrew curls :S
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
I’d take the Jeffrey Campbell Steppin and wear them with a fantastic school teacher outfit including pin stripe pencil skirt, dark leggings, white button up blouse with a tie and a deep v-neck sweater. Get my hair pulled up in a bun. Then I’d play teacher with my love :)
Or just toss them on with a FANTASTIC, tailored suit and knock the socks off execs at business meetings.
All right, lady!
I would get the Palladium Bellingham boots (these ones: www.solestruck.com/palladium), and I would wear them everywhere. I have to walk at least two miles every day (ugh! ugh!) and I would love a pair of flat stompy boots that would kick ass with jeans or with a skirt and tights.
But honestly, the best place for them would be tucked in a cubby while I go ice-skating in the middle of the city lights with a sweet boy who enjoys my company and hopes I’m always smiling. That’s where I want my boots to be.
(And I see I’m not the only one who wants these! Holla!)
I would wear Oh Deer!‘s Strata on the dance floor of my instructor’s tango studio, lined eyes flashing as I executed ganchos and sacadas. Dance partners would line up to lead me in through the sexy steps, my cheek resting against their necks as they led me through the moves. The women would be envious of the handsome men taking me in the embrace…until they saw my shoes.
I would wear these Jeffrey Campbell ‘Burbs’ heels, http://www.solestruck.com/jeffrey-campbell-burbs-black-silver/index.html to a concert of my favourite rock band whose charismatic lead singer also happens to be my boyfriend. Underneath my studded leather mini skirt and slightly transparent white deep v neck tee I would wear my prettiest black lace bra that is just visible through the tee and ripped black tights. I would hang around backstage dancing and sipping cocktails with the band’s other girlfriends and ‘muses’. After the show the roadie, band, entourage and I would all saunter back to our shared apartment in West London, near Vivienne Westwood’s SEX, where the night would consist of more drinking, music, and a rocking game of Guitar Hero of which I win! Ah, one can dream… As if I’d ever win Guitar Hero…
www.solestruck.com/ben
My fave is definitely the Ben Sherman :Molly ZFH” in Pale Blue.
I would totally wear them with a frilly dress and my vintage-inspired black cashmere coat with peter pan fur collar while i ran to get a ring i won off eBay sized, and then picked up a delicious caramel apple on the way back. I’d eat it outside while smoking one of my pink Nat Sherman cigarettes ;O)
Jeffrey Campbell CAMP 2 in black.
paired with black lace stockings, a navy satin bubble skirt, a black wool bomber jacket and my grey rabbit fur doctor zhivago hat, i would tramp to a newsstand in gothenberg and languidly browse the headlines, while the chilly wind made my eyes squint. drawing my thick-knit scarf around my neck like a cocoon, i’d bite my chapped lower lip before feeling a light touch on my arm. turning, i would meet the pale, melancholy eyes of the lover i could only love for one night. a slow walk and my head under his chin, we would huddle in a small café where i would sip a cappuccino with my legs crossed twice.
www.solestruck.com/dansko
I would wear the Dansko Nia to spirit an adorable boy off to San Francisco (on a motorcycle, I think). We’d ride the trolley for no reason and shoplift a CD from the record store.
I would wear these Jeffrey Campbell ‘Burbs’ heels,
Ah, one can dream… As if I’d ever win Guitar Hero…http://www.solestruck.com/jeffrey-campbell-burbs-black-silver/index.html
to a concert of my favourite rock band whose charismatic lead singer also happens to be my boyfriend. Underneath my studded leather mini skirt and slightly transparent white deep v neck tee I would wear my prettiest black lace bra that is just visible through the tee and ripped black tights. I would hang around backstage dancing and sipping cocktails with the band’s other girlfriends and ‘muses’.

I would wear these Jeffrey Campbell North 6 Brogues (size tens of course!) into my bedazzled and sparkling time machine, whereupon I would visit the 1920s in the heights of prohibition. Then I would find myself a dark speakeasy filled with questionable characters, get riping drunk, and do terrible things decent girls would never dream of!
Well i would start off my day by going to a big convention to talk about nutrition and about eating vegan. i would win over the entire crowd and no one there would ever get sick again. and then i’d be famous and i’d be on the news… and i’d be a d-list celebrity…
I’d feel really confident because i was wearing this great shoes : www.solestruck.com/guess#
I would wear them with opaque black tights. and a black wool pencil skirt, and a vibrant purple silk top. my hair would be teased into a beehive and way longer than it is in real life and very shiny lol.
at night time i would go to a dance party – in someones attic – with my friend krissy, and robert pattinson who i have a ridiculous crush on sadpanda and i would wear:
www.solestruck.com/betseyville these shoes, because it’s a dance party and my feet would hurt a lot after dancing for a long time!!! and you can’t jump as high in heels ok?
with bright hot pink tights
and my favorite A line, princess cut black party dress.
i would also curl my hair. and because of all the moving and shaking and the humidity all the curls would fall and my hair would be really sexy and wavy.
and i would have clove cigarettes to hold in my hand but not smoke…
www.solestruck.com/birkenstock#
Sparkly green plastic Birkenstocks! Oh, too much!
I would wear them on an expedition across the bay to Berkeley, with an entire outfit of brightly painted and glitterfied hippie chick items. There I would present myself as the lovechild of a candy kid and a second-wave hippie.
www.solestruck.com/oh
Oh my! Oh Deer! Strata shoes are the perfect accessory for a fantastic night out in NYC. From the bottom up: – Oh Deer! Strata in black – Black Thigh High Lace Stockings – A fantastically sleek and sexy garter – The perfect skimpies for a perfect evening – A deep burgundy dress, with halter top, that dips low enough to show off my tattoo (cleavage section) and has a wavy hem just above the knee
The man of my dreams picks me up in a limo, takes me out for the best sushi in town. On the way home in the limo we practice/shag/bang/grind/every other euphemism from the last contest ;)
These are S-E-X-X-Y shoes!!!!
www.solestruck.com/steve#
I would totally sport Steve Madden Bonanza’s in grey suede as I run around the city, fighting off the zombie hoards. I’m careful not to let too much zombie filth hit my stylish kicks as I pop their heads off masterfully with my trusty lady friends; a pair of Smith & Wesson Model CS45 Chiefs Specials. After all, all a real lady needs to survive the apocalypse is an excellent pair of boots, and big guns.
Gala, would you believe that I don’t actually own a pair of heels? That’s right, I’m 27 years old and I don’t wear heels – ever. It’s because I’m 6’1’‘ and for a long time I felt like a freak in heels. I always said it made me look like a Tranny, ha! Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing (tranny love right here), but you know. Anyway, I recently decided to just get over, and now I’m dying to rock the sexy stilettos!
Problem is, I have a size 10.5-11 foot, and none of the heels that go that high are vegan! boo hoo!
But luck to all the other ladies! You’re awesome!
These boots would take me to a river of salty honey. There would be honeyfish swimming slowly downstream (that taste like honey grahams), and honeysharks with rainbow fins and glow in the dark eyes. I’d lay in the pink wheat field next to the honeyriver and dream of peanut butter honey sandwiches.
The aforementioned boots: http://www.solestruck.com/camper-peu-ideal-46029-eva-kenia/index.html#

I would wear the Steve Madden Bonanza boots (in black, of course) during my first fusion belly-dance performance. They’d perfectly finish off an exotic-urban belly-dance outfit!
www.solestruck.com/betseyville
I would wear the Betseyville “Lexine” wedges with black opaque tights and a cute party dress on new years eve with my friends..and any other day because they’re Betsey creations ;)
The Betseyville “BAYLEE” shoe in black and white! Mmmmmm tooo good looking not to lust over this shoe! I’m a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig fan of black and white combinations (especially stripes) & this shoe is going on my wishlist! Hope santa brings me one! ;) I can see myself going to the park, going to the movies, nightclubs, to work, everything :D!

The Dolce Vita Molly shoes are the perfect addition to my “killer” wardrobe. Temp job by day as a secretary in high powered companies, and at night a super fly assassin, hired out by other companies to “cut the competition down to size”. I keep my big guns in the briefcase, and a little handy lady gun in the purse. Of course there’s a knife in my garter, ready at a moment’s notice to fly into my target, or anyone else who gets in my way.
I’d wear these endlessly clever caramel Camper sunglasses flats all summer with tidy minidresses and a huge patent leather tote — the flat soles are practical for bursting into Umbrellas of Cherbourg musical numbers on the street.

I would definitely wear jeffrey campbell’s take on the ladies brogues with levi’s 1966 skinny jeans matched with a vintage shirt(rainbow brite!) and a military jacket on a trip to the museum. Just like the musuem being a nostalgia of some sorts,the clothes does become a trip down memory lane.
I would wear black studded Jeffrey Campbell Burbs to a night out at a Burlesque show. With a corset style strapless top, tucked into a black high-waisted pencil skirt and finished with a large feathered fascinator in my hair and some killer red lipstick on my lips, I may even be mistaken for one of the dancers. Who knows, maybe I’d end up pulling a Blair Waldorf and becoming part of the show myself? ;)

I would slip on the beautiful Oh Deer! Starlights and lay on the grass with my feet in the stars enjoying some sexy time with my beloved.
www.solestruck.com/oh
I’d walk into chess tournaments wearing Report’s Kyleigh boots, a high-waisted pencil skirt and the slimmest white button-down in existence (with the collar unbuttoned a more-than-decent amount), push my hipster-geek-librarian glasses up my nose, smile shyly, and wipe the floor with my opponents.
As I waltz trepidly across the highly strung tightrope with a giant green and aqua peacock feather in one hand and a glittery pink parasol in the other, I kick my leg up to flash these, ( www.solestruck.com/sam ) heels to the gawking onlookers below.
All of a sudden I trip, the audience gasp as I tip and wobble meters above them. Much to their relief I regain my composure only to stumble again, this time losing my balance and falling from the rope. My dress flounces out around me like a musk-stick pink meringue. Luckily my loyal parasol slows my fall and as frantic clowns rush around below me with a comically small trampoline. I gracefully land, one Sam Edelman, ‘Mariella’ encased foot at a time on a pure white unicorn with a glittery purple mane. The crowd’s uproar echoes through the tent, an elephant trumpets, a lion growls and I take my final bow, my act over, for tonight.
I would wear the BCBG Labany’s in cream, gallivanting in the snow for a videoshoot with my favorite band. We would be filming for their newest music video, you see, and the plot is that they are trying to outdo each other in dates with me. One of the dates is going up to the private cabin and falling in luuurve. After the shoot his feet would be freezing, because men don’t really have fashionable warm shoes, so for the filming he had to wear regular leather shoes. While we’re waiting for the next segment to begin, he notices that I am toasty warm while his little tootsies are nearly blue. I proceed to explain to him the purpose of having thick socks, and we get in an argument about whether heavy knit sicks are an appropriate accessory for slacks. From this a great friendship is born, and I frequently hang out with the boys for the rest of our days.

I’ve been looking for the perfect pair of oxfords and these are it.
I would wear them with black tights, a pair of ripped denim shorts, a white frilly blouse with a lousy black bow (a la salvador dali) and a black blazer for school.
Later on I would wear them with black skinny jeans, or those sort of shiny leggings from american apparel, a lousy plaid shirt,
or maybe a plain t shirt + black leather jacket/cardigan/blazer + colorful knitted beret. for going out to a photographer’s party in his loft in some high story building with a great view of the city (nyc hopefully)
Not martinis maybe but maybe a beer or some whiskey. An amazing sunset, and lots of interesting people, it’d be a Wednesday most likely.
www.solestruck.com/palladium
I will wear these Palladium Bellingham boots with an all black outfit. I will look tough walking down the street.
I would wear these beautiful patent oxfords with opaque tights, an architectural and draped black dress and dripping with gold chains (a la Givenchy)! I’d hope to wear all this wandering around in the winter-y beauty that is downtown where I live, sipping hot chocolate and imagining other people’s lives.
(I live in Canada but I’d totally pay for shipping!)
www.solestruck.com/steve#
www.solestruck.com/bcbgirls
I would wear these with long, olive green socks and garters, topped off with a frilly skirt and shirt combo; very steampunk.
Alternatively, I could wear then with a cape and fight crime. Everyone needs crime-fighting boots, and those would be perfect for the occasion. Imagine all the people I’d save filled with awe at both my superheroics and my fantastic boots.
www.solestruck.com/rocket
I would wear these every day at my BACHELOR OF PRODUCTION COURSE (that’s theatre production) at VCA in Melbourne next year.
A cool techie needs comfy but stylish footware to learn about theatre in… I’ll wear sneakers with anything… jeans, skirts, dresses… the right sneakers can a bit of funk to any outfit!
{HOMANS I’m so excited!!!!}
scream Gala, I fell in love with the Guess Borda Bronze shoes the very minute you posted about Solestruck!
I would wear them while sneaking out of my strict boarding school dormitory, wearing a newspaper boy hat, button-up shirt, plaid shorts, grey thigh-high stockings, and the fabulous shoes! I’d carry my school jacket over my arm, wrap my rose pendant over my other wrist, grab my suitcase and hop out the window! I had to grab my pen and draw it all out, so fabulous!
Then I would transform into a rocker girl with a short, ruffly baby doll dress – who says rockers can’t wear dresses? The top layer would be dark brown; the second layer would be a magical blue – blue! and the lacey petticoat layer underneath would be snow white. I’d keep the hat and thigh-high stockings, rock out the Bordas, throw pearls all over my hair and sing into the crowd! I had to draw another illustration from sheer excitement!
Hooray!
I’m pulling on the Jeffrey Campbell “Steppin” boots as I leave on my quest to track down the hunters of an almost-extinct species of alien animal called Heredes on a planet known as Zaigon. My lover and I met while protesting against these guys two years ago and fell madly in love. He gave me these shoes on our first anniversary. Last week he was shot down by accident trying to protect a baby Hered. Now things are personal.
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey#
I would wear these, www.solestruck.com/jeffrey Jeffrey Campbell ‘Gore’ boots on my first solo mission as a secret agent.
My floor length scarlet dress would hide these boots and disguise my leather cat suit underneath. Once I’ve charmed my way into the party to the very highest point of the building I rip off this dress, leaving it in shards on the stone ground. On recovering the Amethyst Cupcake I scale down the building in a rain of bullets from guards that have spotted me. I escape in my black jaguar.My assignment would be to sneak into the party of a rich European aristocrat disguised as Madame lumière a rich and powerful fashion designer, and recover the stolen Amethyst Cupcake, a rare and precious stone.
On arriving home I have just enough time to throw on a pair of ripped skinnys and a lacy top, teese my hair and put on some lipgloss before going out on the town with the girls. These gorgeous and functional boots can get me through anything!
www.solestruck.com/irregular
I would wear them on a night out with friends.
I would wear the Bestyville’s Lexine Wedges in Black on my trip to London, where I would be doing my absolute damnedest to pull of the perfect chic nerd look while getting my first tattoo – themed after The Legend of Zelda videogame!
www.solestruck.com/betseyville
I want these: (Steve Madden’s Maddiee)
www.solestruck.com/steve
and I’m going to wear them when I see my boyfriend in April – I haven’t seen him since the summer and there’s a lot of… er… catching up we need to do. And I’m thinking that with heels like this, I might not take them off during sex.
Or maybe put them on specifically FOR the sex.
I would get these ones – www.solestruck.com/dc – wearing something clearly aimed at people much younger then me would help me overcome the grief of officially becoming an old git…
I’ve been dying for a pair of studded shoes so I would definitely have to pick the “Burbs” shoe from Jeffrey Campbell.
If I could keep them away from my Mom long enough (we share all our shoes!), I’d wear them with one of the dresses from the Balmain Spring 09 show (a girl can dream, right?).
Where would I wear this dream outfit? Anywhere and everywhere! Returning books at the library. Going for bubble tea on St. Marks. A stroll through the Bronx zoo. Anywhere and everywhere!
While frolicking in a field of flowers, I would totally wear the red Bestyville Bethany espadrilles ( www.solestruck.com/betseyville ) with a flirty, ruffly, light pink sun dress and some amazing gold and red accessories. Necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and even a few cute clips or bobby pins in my hair. Of course I would also do my nails up as best as I could too. Though I’m not so sure how much I would actually be wearing the shoes while in a field of flowers, I may just be carrying them half of the time!
www.solestruck.com/betseyville
i’d wear these sweater boots with a black slip & pearls to a beach bonfire on the west coast in winter. i’d be tempted to swim in them, but wld probably kick them off in the sand.
I’m Irish, so I can’t enter this for myself, BUT I’m going to enter on behalf of my american sister in law!
(she’s the best) She just had twins- a girl and a boy! So now she’s all excited about getting back into fun shoes…I bet she’d like these: “www.solestruck.com/dollhouse”: http://www.solestruck.com/dollhouse-crimson-navy/index.html for running around after the twins (and her other three boys!) in and these for going out to celebrate her upcoming birthday! http://www.solestruck.com/rocket-dog-open-call-gold-glitter/index.html(but if I was buying for myself, I’d love these: www.solestruck.com/enzo)— I’d wear it behind the dispensing counter. No one would know that their pharmacist had killer shoes unless I showed them. :p
i think i definitely have to go with the Paladium Bellingham boots. i’d probably pair them simply with my favourite black drainpipes and my graphic purple double breasted flannel print shirt and my leather buckle cuff bracelet.
i’d probably end up going out to a concert or something. actually, i’d be fine just marching around like a badass in my local grocery store.
www.solestruck.com/steve#
I am smitten with these shoes. I can’t decide if I like the black or the red more…
I will wear these heels on the cruise I am going on with my boyfriend this January. It’s the winter break from my school, and since I am just a broke college student, he is paying for most of the trip. It would be wonderful if I had a new pair of shoes to wear for the formal nights, or if I feel like relaxing in Guatemala!
I would wear Steve Madden’s Imprereal in red to a hot date on the moon!
I would wear the BCBGirls Denise Black Bruma Boots (they are hot!) with medium wash skinny jeans & a black lace top. And pinkish nude lipgloss in a yummy flavor so I can get my first kiss, on the Eiffel Tower, under the stars.

Jeffrey Campbell Berry Oxfords
I would wear these Jeffrey Campbell oxfords to complete my snazzy slacks/button-up/vest/tie ensemble to go networking in! I feel like wearing these, I could take my coffee black— slicker than slick, and classy to boot!
www.solestruck.com/oh
The Oh Deer! Strata in black is HOT! I’d keep the outfit simple: a fitted, little black dress with a gray grandpa cardigan over it, and a thin, studded belt around my waist. And a clutch too, of course!
I imagine wearing this to the Palace in NYC for a cocktail party in which I hardly know the guests my friend had invited. There, i would meet a lovely guy, he’d whisk me off my feet – heels and all – and go dancing a club. & that’s when i’d throw off my cardigan to bare my shoulders ;]

I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for almost 12 years. I’d wear these take-no-prisoners boots to return to the work force and kick corporate ass.
I would wear the Oh Deer! Strata shoes. I would wear them with anything and everything, dressing them up and down. I would discreetly wear them to my boring office job under some long black pants, then swap the pants for my body-con high-waisted American Apparel skirt when work’s over and it’s time to go out and catch a local band play their hearts out. I would wear them to go for drinks with the boyfriend. I would wear them to stomp down the street. I would wear them to a fetish club; I would wear them to Wendy’s. I really love those shoes!
I would wear the Nina Fabiola SS in red to take a basket of cookies through the woods to Granny — and if any wolves showed up, I’d be more than equipped to kick them in the teeth!
www.solestruck.com/nina
What an overwhelming array of shoes! It took me forever to decide.
I’d wear the 80%20 Lilly mary janes in black patent (http://www.solestruck.com/eighty-twenty-lily-black-crinkle-patent/index.html). Rock those with my new gray & purple striped over-the-knee socks, and black corduroy mini skirt, my gray rocker tee and topped with black leather jacket, & of course my purple hair!
The perfect outfit for frolicking in our little beach town’s historic district on New Year’s Eve! There’s an outdoor festival, the streets are cobblestoned (hence the chunky wedge choice, & I had hip surgery recently so comfy shoes are a must- so few cute choices out there. GRRR!!), it’s just a few blocks from the beach, so with this outfit & closed shoes I’d be warm enough to part-eh all night long! Plus they’d be swell for spring.
Thanks for the splendiferous giveaways, Gala. :)
www.solestruck.com/oh#
I’m from Australia, but I want to pick some shoes anyway =]
I’d happily pay the shipping for shoes like this!!
I’d wear my Oh Deer! Gelato shoes in black, with a garter, deep red lipstick and a matching, teeny, tiny, satin bath robe as a surprise for my boyfriend. I’d perform a very slow striptease to Heartbeats by Jose Gonzalez, or Fidelity by Regina Spektor.
I’d probably leave the shoes on all night, and my boyfriend would love it.
I’ve always wanted to do something like that for him, perhaps the shoes would build up my confidence enough for me to pull it off….
skip about in my fairy wings and faded halo. kiss my former first love and strike a pose….
www.solestruck.com/dolce
The Dolce Vita Madison shoes in Black.
And what WOULDN’T I do in those shoes? ;D
or the Guess Borda:
www.solestruck.com/guess
I see these heels as the ultimate New Orleans home visit party shoes. I’d incorporate them in to Lolita-esque Mardis Gras costumes (similar to my Alice one, though not Alice again), so that they’d transition well from stomping around parade routes to dancing my dirty off at One Eyed Jack’s.
I’d leave the bar smelling like sweat, smoke, and tears, while drunken tourists would wonder how a girl so drunk as me was staying upright in sky high stilettos. I’d kiss every man (and girl) while I still could, like a lady/pick myself up dance til I dropped.
On days I wasn’t in costume, I’d pair them up with cigarette style capris, a faded band t-shirt and studded belt, while I drank the world’s BEST BLOODY MARY’s at Cafe Rani nursing my hangover and eating a deliciously greasy breakfast with my best girl friends.
They’d then go from brunch to tramping around the French Quarter shopping, stopping at Fifi Mahoney’s for a new custom wig, Trashy Diva in search of rumba panties and corsets, and down to the record shops on Lower Decatur…
www.solestruck.com/irregular
I’d wear these quirky Irregular Choice shoes with a beautiful postbox red, fifties cut halter dress. My hair would be adorned with a red bow that I have fashioned from my ribbon collection.
I think this would make a good outfit for watching burlesque in.
www.solestruck.com/steve
I’d wear these sexy little babies with a pair of black skinny jeans and a tight black t-shirt, and walk around town pretending that I’m Sandra Dee at the end of Grease who’s about to become Danny’s dominatrix. :)
I would wear the Hunter boots in Iris while travelling around the world to attend every music festival there is. I’d also wear them at home when I couldn’t actually make it to Glastonbury. Standing in my garden and listening to my iPod is just as much fun!
www.solestruck.com/chooka#
I would wear these fabulous purple Urban welly boots everyday whilst walking my little dog though the muddy, squidgy English countryside! I have already ruined two pairs of trainers so far this winter, I really need these!
Do they do them in dog sizes too?

I’d get the Kenneth Cole Reaction GLAM GIRL flip flops and I’d wear them with some cute short shorts and a tunic top at the beach :)

these fantastic sequin pumps would adorn my little feet at the new years bash of the century – they would match my ridiculous sequin dress and everyone would be blinded by all the sparkles on my outfit that match my sparkly personality! (oh yeah i went there)
www.solestruck.com/betseyville#
I would wear these one crsip night in fall to go out with my friends in a paddle boat to the middle of a lake (preferably an enchanted one), where we would stargaze, tell ghost stories, and eat vegan pumpkin cinnamon muffins.
I’d pair them with…some textured tights, glamourous opera gloves, ropes of freshwater pearls, sparkly eyeshadow, and something velvet!
I’d wear Dolce Vita’s Madison on my twenty-first birthday, out on the town with my friends from high school. We’d order lots of champagne and dance the night away.
www.solestruck.com/dolce
www.solestruck.com/steve
They are just gorgeous and could be both something that could be worn to look amazing at school and partying!
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
I would wear these Jeffrey Cambell Burbs to my “Bloody Bleeding Broken Hearted Anti-Valentine’s Day Goth Party”. I would pair it with this black pleated skirt with black lace underneath it and a ripped black longsleeve shirt. I also would wear these fake purple and black dreads I made from yarn! They are super amazing!
We have one of these parties every year. It’s awesome to see all my non-goth friends dress the part. It’s also awesome to see what goth items my friends had hiding in the back of their closet from long ago! haha!
www.solestruck.com/rocket
I LOVE these 80s-ass rocket dog moonboots! I want to wear them with the wierd solar-panel material space suit winter outfits my parents used to put me into when it was cold! They are also pretty tall, so they achieve that sexy long legged 60s thing, all wrapped up in poofy, snow-angel making, soul train watching/listening comfiness!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh please let me have them!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would wear the Dolce Vita Madison pump while wearing a cute apron and baking Christmas cookies. I am no domestic, but I can pretend! :)

I’d form my own burlesque dance troupe with these babies and tour the world! I’d wear a frilly, satin corset in a deep purple, cute ruffled panties, MAC makeup, and dripped in diamonds! My hair would be in the cutest bouffant ever, complete with a little bow on a pearl headband.
My nickname? Star, of course! :)
You better believe I’d be ALL over the Lenore boot-wedge by Betseyville.
www.solestruck.com/betseyville
It doesn’t hurt that they’re made by my absolute favorite designer.
Since my birthday is so close to Valentine’s Day, I feel these would be appropriate to wear. It’d be perfect,considering the cold weather—paired with an outfit compromised of bold red,white,and black. I would take these puppies ALL over town to celebrate in Birthday festivities(I’ve gotta ring in my 21st in an extravagant fashion!).
holycrap do i hope i win this contest!!!
I would wear my hair in a beehive with a superman black t-shirt, turquoise skirt, pink legings, and

www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
I’d wear the Steppin’s to work (at the library), playing the old-time librarian in long sailor pants, button down oxford with a sweatervest, hair up in a bun with a pen in it & my black square glasses. Red lips, bien sur! But then, after work, I’d go home, cook up some food for one, & have some wine while listening to Ella or Billie or, ooh, better yet, the Duke. Glenn Miller’s Moonlight Serenade, anyone? I’d dance around by myself, then perhaps hear the door close softly & get swept up in a dance with the man.
Or these
www.solestruck.com/betseyville
I’d wear these on a date, with an A-line, flippy black dress and white bobby socks. My hair’s up in a chignon or maybe just a high pony. I’m dripping with pearls & silver jewelry. We’re going to the movies, then back to his place for drinks & dessert. I make a mean batch of chocolate chip cookies, but he makes a fantastic Pumpkin Spice Roll. I wander over to his bookshelf & exclaim over the authors I find there. We talk long into the night about literature. When he kisses me on my doorstep, I do the leg-pop.
I would wear them everywhere.
Oh yes. I would wear them to bed.
www.solestruck.com/steve
I plan on getting my own motorcycle in the spring, and I think these shoes would look fantastic while riding: www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
Of course I’d wear them to work, wear them to get groceries, wear them pretty much everywhere! Hell, I’d wear them to go feed the squirrels.
Hi Gala!
I have been drooling over these shoes by my hero, Betsey Johnson: www.solestruck.com/betseyville#.
They are perfect for keeping my toesies warm in the cold, Ohio winter. I would wear these boots all 7 days out of the week just because I LOVE them and don’t own a pair of nice, wintery boots! :/
ANYWAYS, besides wearing them every day, I have the perfect Lenore boot day all planned out…
I would wake up in the morning to a white blanket of snow on the ground, pull up my lovely boots over my lace tights, and throw on my special holiday red dress… with matching red glittery lipstick, of course! I would take a long hike up to the North Pole, but on the way, I find a cute deer who is searching for Santa (he lost his Disney forest friend job, so he wants to become a reindeer!). I hop on his back and we enjoy the scenery as we make our trek to the christmasy wonderland. When we arrive, we a greeted with candy canes, vegan gingerbread cookies and spiked soynog by the big man in red himself! The deer gets to ride on Santa’s sleigh, and I get to deck the halls and make angels in the snow with all my new elfie friends… in my new Betseyville boots
Wearing an Alice in Wonderland costume and these Pastry Glam Bloaters (http://www.solestruck.com/pastry-glam-boater-blueberry/index.html#), I would galvanize Tokyo until a couture-dressed White Rabbit led me into Wonderland. The Queen of Hearts would be a vegan and the Mad Hatter would serve Chai Tea with soy milk while we discussed the starry night in riddles!
Jeffrey Campbell “Burbs”....
I would wear these as the hottest mom in the “Burbs” while walking my kids on the sidewalks and singing songs really loud and then watching their soccer games in them and having all the other moms stare!!! I would wear these with black skinny jeans and an oversized flowing top and strut around the city!
I would wear the glossy Jessica Simpson Rider boots with skinny sailor pants and a capelet when I audition for Guillermo del Toro’s version of “The Hobbit”!
www.solestruck.com/jessica
I’d wear my Camper Helena Altos with some nude fishnets, a high-waisted skirt, skinny metal belt, charmeuse blouse, and piles of pearls. Put my hair up in a chignon and go all Joan Holloway on the boys at the office. MEEEEEOW!
http://www.solestruck.com/camper-helena-alto-20532-augusta-carlota-helena-cuarzo/index.html
I would wear Dolce Vita’s Madison 4 1/2” black patent heels next time I perform. High heels look awesome on stage and these sexy platforms are perfect for my rap persona Silky Snowflake. I have just taken some time off from performing and I’m ready to start doing some shows again. These would be the perfect accessory!
www.solestruck.com/dolce
I would love to wear the Ben Sherman wicked shoes everywhere! I would especially like to wear them at the cancer registry where I work to add an element of absolute joy, magic, and sass to my day. Thanks.
I would wear these (http://www.solestruck.com/chinese-laundry-bentley-navy-patent/index.html) with my best pair of jeans and Blues Brothers T-shirt on New Year’s Eve (or any day, really) to go out with my girlfriends. We’d eat Thai food and drink amaretto sours then find a karaoke bar and sing cheesy 90s songs until midnight when we’d blow kisses to everyone, breeze home and have a dance party until sunrise. Then we’d all crawl into bed (probably the same one), sleep until noon and start all over again.
Gala, what about people like me, living outside the US but with a p.o box in Miami? They ship me stuff here when I send them to that box…it may not be to expensive :) (just asking)
Well, I would wear this (http://www.solestruck.com/camper-helena-alto-20661-augusta-cairo/index.html) with grey thights, a cute black skirt and a jacket with a black beret and birdie necklace, to go to the park with my boyfriend in autumm, have ice creams of weird flavors, listen to guys playing bagpipes and then buy old books in vintage stores near my uni’s campus. dreamyy!
In my size 8.5 Oh Deer! Serena heels I would sneak onto a freighter, a stowaway, heading to Italy. Once in Italy I would begin my subtle takeover. I befriend an infatuated printer, and with his assistance I would revitalize the Latin language by sneakily reprinting every sign, book, magazine, or written thing in Latin. The heels would lend me powers of persuasion as I built up Latin into a spoken language, bringing it back from the dead, and I would found a school, the only topics of study being Latin and ancient history. One of my pupils would invent time travel; I would declare Latin to be the official language of time travel and then I would exploit a loophole in the fabric of time in order to create a world populated by Pliny-quoting unicorns and books that breed themselves and coffee-and-parchment fairies, and I would build a magnificent library here and reside in this land for the rest of my days.

I meant “too expensive” :P

I would wear these fantastic heels with a pair of black tights, then a shorter highwaisted skirt in small houndstooth with a big old belt and a fantastic, blue, distressed teeshirt and a huge b&w scarf, along with my gold sparrow necklace and jewel blue headband. Then, I would go to the bar, of course and play pool until 2am while listening to Tom Waits.
or, I’d dress them up with a blouse and wear it to my new sexy librarian job.
I would wear the Report Masonic in black with some sort of leather catsuit number and i’d take over the world using only my powers of seduction. I would travel on a hunky-man-drawn carriage, and if my kingdom ever went to war I would be right on the front lines as the sexiest warrior gladiator princess ever. And I’d keep the heels on, of course.

i’d throw these brown 80%20 boots w white v-neck tee and paperbagwaist jean shorts just before i hop on my motorbike and breeze down the cliffs to the beach at sun set…
or id wear them w a gossamer pink party dress, and updo and tiara to the supermarket with my friends to get ice cream float supplies after a night of dancing…
or w leggings, a leopard print Tshirt and black highwaisted miniskirt, on a first date to the MET museum with a hottie in silly glasses, we’d eat the horridly expensive hotdogs they sell out front then meander into central park to read one of the cheap art books we bought from a vendor outside…
whoops! didn’t even look at the price. oh well, a girl can still dream!
hmmm…or maybe I’d wear these Guess peep-toe stilettos (http://www.solestruck.com/guess-cabana-black-patent/index.html#)with black-with-gold-sparkles tights and a black and gray striped mini-dress!
i would wear the dansko marcelle (in red) everwhere because i love them so much. i would be the mommy with cool shoes at the baby story time at the library. :)
www.solestruck.com/dansko
www.solestruck.com/oh – the houndstooth wool yellow ones
obviously, i would wear these shoes everywhere. to the grocery store, picking up my little brother from school, out dancing, bumming around the house… literally, everywhere. but most importantly, I would wear them in front of my friend who told me not to get them because they are the ugliest shoes he’s every seen :D
www.solestruck.com/sugar
I would wear their Sugar Black Tie Pie Shoe in ShangriLa Turquoise…
On a cloud high up in the blue sky, at a tea party. I would wear one of my many vintage flowered hats (one with pink flowers, I think) and my embroidered white dress, and a flowered shawl.
We would have mint-green and gilded tea cups, with a lush centerpiece of velvet roses and glass icicles. Occasionally one of the dirty sheperdesses on the toile tablecloth would butt into our conversation with a subversive comment.
Also at the tea party would be:
The Hatter (in burgundy velvet and mascara)
The Hare (in fur, of course)
The Cat (with fuschia lipstick)
The Caterpillar (who would be gilded)
A red-headed Alice (in pink which clashed with her hair)
The DoorMouse (voiced by Kasey Kasum ala Shaggy from Scoobydoo)
An innocent-looking fawn deer (with a talent for limericks)
We would drink mugwort tea with roses floating in it, and Irish Coffee with real whipped cream, and we would eat a currant cake iced with images of swordfighting swans. The Hatter would read excerpts from Whitman, Dickenson and Famous Love Letters, and we would make up new endings to Steven King’s Dark Tower Series.
In the air would float a 13 piece orchestra of putti (little naked Cupids) playing covers of Vivaldi and the Cure. The Caterpillar would conduct this orchestra with her hookah.
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
i’d wear these boots to the Escalade (a costumed carnival/festival here in Geneva Switzerland… the parade marches all through town) with a flowy summer dress and fairy wings and pretend it’s the midsummer’s ball instead of the dead of winter… (yes i actually did once so, already…)
There are so many shoes I just adore on that site but that fact that they have a boot that I could fit into (mens 11 in this case) and actually looks nice (yea yea it’s technically a guys boot but I have large feet and calves so I can’t wear cute girly shoes) just amazes me. So I’d definitely pick the Jeffrey Campbell 13980 in Gray Suede. (although if I won I’d probably go and order them in the black as well)
“http://www.solestruck.com/jeffrey-campbell-camp-2-black-suede/index.html”
It was really hard to decide between black (to go with my new black duffle coat) or gray but I choose gray. I’d probably wear them with everything! I just moved to Virginia from California and I knew it would be cold but I guess I wasn’t prepared for 35 degrees right of the bat! I only have flip flops and peep toes and my feet freeze! But mostly I could see myself in an gray tweed dress with plum colored tights, or with mustard tights an olive dress under my black duffle with a gray hunting cap…
AHHHH I have wanted those Guess Borda shoes ever since I saw you wear them! I would wear them while having sex with Mark Wahlberg, my ultimate celeb crush.
I’d wear the Enzo Angiolini Tiered red patent wedges with a pair of dark skinny jeans and a fitted white button down, and a really wild and shiny pair of silver earrings. I’d be on a date a sweet nerdy Jewish boy from school, having taken the free shuttle into Boston. We’d stop at the cupcake place two blocks from the shuttle stop and then ramble through Back Bay, and I would manage to trip over the wedge of the shoe on the sidewalk. When we finally got to the Boston Common, we would sit down and feed each other the cupcakes, getting frosting on each others’ faces and chocolate crumbs dropping down my shirt.
I would wear: pink Pastry Marshmallow boots with black pajama shorts and a white hoodie.
It would be close to midnight and I would go to McDonalds to fix my craving for french fries!
Donald J Pliner Halo 3!!!! amazing flats that I would wear as I have tea dates with friends and going to the library and wearing cute little reading glasses while crossing my legs and having everybody stare as I move my feet around in these so cute flats while reading…hmmmmm… the unbearable lightness of being!
I would wear Steve Madden’s Vulture shoes with black seamed stockings and a short skirt business suit. My garter would show when I sit just right at the attorney table and my pin curls would bounce just slightly as I approach the witness with a my sexy swagger. I coyly adjust the hem of my skirt before adressing the witness.
www.solestruck.com/steve
I would get these
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
because I cannot find a grey should that I like anywhere, except this one.
I would kill to wear Jeffrey Campbell’s Steppin in Black Grey! I would wear them with black leggings, a creme colored skirt, a pink shirt with puffy sleeves and a fantastic vest. I am slowly becoming comfortable enough with my height to wear shoes with a heel and I think these would be perfect to practice in!
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
I’d wear the Steve Madden Bonanza boots to finally ask out the boy who I’ve been eyeing for months. And then as often as possible after that. :)
http://www.solestruck.com/steve-madden-bonanza-grey-suede/index.html
Those Guess Bordas are the way to go, baby!
I dream of being a librarian—-in face I just started volunteering at a library. I’d wear those shoes with a pencil skirt, argyle patterned hosiery, and a cute little button-down shirt. I’d have a pencil tucked behind one ear as I reached the highest shelves thanks to those 4-inch heels.
My choice must be Oh Deer Strata
www.solestruck.com/oh
I would wear them out to a night out in my quiet little hometown with a black leather mini skirt, gray vertically striped translucent tights, black nail polish and a Mona Lisa smile.
When the bars are all closed and there’s nothing to light the way but flickering street lamps, I would climb the ruins of the old abandoned ship yard and perch in the booth of the old crane amongst the dead birds and detritus, taking polaroids in the dark until the sun rose or I was forcefully removed by the authorities. The scratches in my patent leather would be a badge of honor.
Dollhouse Mylvania wedges – I would wear them with a ruffled sundress to swing on a rope swing hung from a tree, with my love there to catch me.
Betseyville
GISEL
I would wear these to 80s night with my leggings and denim mini!
Ohh! Also, Guess Banana stilettos. I’d wear them with a safari-esque shirtdress and a huge floppy-brimmed hat…or with anything. And simply tromp around fabulously.
I would wear Steve Madden’s Vulture: www.solestruck.com/steve
With a pair of black, skinny, high waisted tux jeans and a red, satin shirt with a ruffled high collar and a tasteful keyhole. I would cover myself from the cold in a Burberry felted cashmere jacket in black as I walked from my 2008 Maserati GranTurismo into work. My heels would click down the lineoleum hallway as I made my way to the boss’ office. My Vampress ring from Bittersweets NY would gently rap against the door until she opened the door to give me that sickly, sugar sweet fake smile she plasters on her face every morning. I would look her in the eye and say the three little words everyone longs to say…“I fu*#in’ QUIT!” Her mouth would hang agape and before she could even say a word, I would slowly, casually, strut out the door and back to my own booming business. Dolla’, Dolla’ bill, y’all.
www.solestruck.com/seychelles
I would wear these with my feet propped up on a white whicker picnic basket lying back on a comfy blanket, in a meadow filled with daffodils. My cream sundress would be hiked above my knees, exposing a nude-fishnet covered thigh almost to the point of revealing the strap of my ivory lace garter belt, as I read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer for the millionth time.
I can’t pick just one, but I’ve narrowed it down to two.
Naughty Monkey’s ‘Wild Ways’ give me the chills. I think I’d wear them with some red knee highs, a skirt, a bra and cute blazer to seduce my man in.
Steve Madden’s ‘Vulture’ are incredibly sexy. I’d wear them with a cute white shirt, black vest, black and white striped skirt, thigh highs with garter belts included. Or I’d wear them with some kind of waitress uniform, to go to see Rocky Horror Picture Show (It’s an obsession).
Oh my gosh, Jeffrey Campbell’s Burbs are exactly what I need to kick my way out of the nice, proper box I seem to have placed myself in! I’d pair them with black lace stockings and contrast it with a girly, floaty ivory dress, rosy cheeks, red lips and my newly cut, short hair—just to keep people guessing. ;) I am tired of holding myself back just for the sake of convention, Gala! What better way to bust my way into the art world than in these darlings?
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey#
I would wear the Dolce Vita Madison to go out, and especially to a wedding where an ex will be at next month. Hello, lover!
I’d wear the Pastry Fab Cookie Boots!
http://www.solestruck.com/pastry-fab-cookie-boot-silver-fruit/index.html#
I don’t think I’d be able to get them off my feet. I’d wear them with everything and I think they’d give me super powers!!!!
Baby Phat Glamour: www.solestruck.com/baby
I’ll wear black leather pants with the ends tucked into these boots, a black vest over a long sleeved white shirt and my dark brown overcoat slung across my shoulder while brass goggles dangle from my neck. And then I’ll board my airship towards unknown lands for danger and adventure, knowing that these boots will help kick ass. :D
www.solestruck.com/gentle
I’d wear these ridiculously comfortable looking Mary Janes with my black tights with the sparkly flames on the side, my schoolgirl-gone-bad skirt, and my fabulously witchy top. I’d then go walking in the neighborhoods and offer children candy. After the adults got nervous I’d go whisk away to the martini bar and offer my services as a jazz singer.
www.solestruck.com/nina
I’d wear those pink suede vintage booties with my tightest jeans, biggest hair, & heavy eye make-up. I’d go out dancing with my favorite people after eating vegan Mexican food & end the night drinking scotch & chainsmoking in my favorite corner of my college campus while blasting my favorite music, throwing my own private dance party while the sun comes up.
www.solestruck.com/dolce
I’d wear these shoes with a high-waisted black circle skirt & a killer jacket & have pretentious conversations about literature, music, comic books & feminism with strangers in an indie coffee house, with my feet propped up on the chair across from me—-or the lap of the person sitting in it.
I would wear the Dansko Tara to work along with a brand new short skirt and black tights. My coworkers would be amazed and wonder who this beautiful new sexy girl is. I would smile a lot.
www.solestruck.com/dansko#
I would wear my Dansko Giselle in Cayenne Nubuck as I traipse back and forth to my darling children’s school several times a day. Yes it’s boring, but it’s my life, and at least my feet would be cute, orange, and comfortable. :)
www.solestruck.com/danskoseychelles Outta the Frying Pan in Teal: www.solestruck.com/seychelles
I’d wear them while layered in delicate blue, gray, and green clothing at the park during the height of autumn. I’d stroll around the park, in cool contrast to the warm colors around me, and take pictures of the interesting patterns leaves make on the ground. A cute boy, usually too shy to ask me out right, would nervously make conversation with me but would quickly warm up and reveal his charming personality when I move the topic to video games and the best horror novels to read before Halloween.
I’d wear the Dolce Vita Molly with a perfectly tailored ivory pants suit to argue for reproductive rights before the united states supreme court. Scalia would plotz. Seriously.
I would wear the Madison Harding Peep toe heels
www.solestruck.com/madison#
along with my white shirred halter swing dress, back to an army wives dance in the 1950’s!!
www.solestruck.com/ben
i would wear these gorgeous things all day long, even to bed with them peeking out of the blanket so people could still see their prettiness, they wouldnt leave my feet, i need them in my life!

or these to stomp about the house with so i could practice walking in heels and then go out dancing with my girlies and get in to all sorts of nonsense situations as usual.

Lunching with Henry Rollins and Jesus, Henry orders a salad, Jesus a medium rare steak and a vegan thai wrap for me. My Report Masonic shoes, jeans, a black lace bra and a white, old coffee stained boy beater look dressy compared to Jesus robe and sandles. Jesus, next time please dress up a little more, I find his lack of fashion irritating.
We look out the window to see a gay, animal rights, environmental, anarcist parade walking by holding signs…my peps!! On the other side of the street the SWAT team in full battle gear is bracing for a chance to rumble. I leap to my feet, dragging Jesus and Henry with me. I’m yelling “Jesus, coming though, let us up to the front, JESUS joining the parade”. Jesus, finds my blatent name dropping embarrasing. Finally we are at the front. Just then the organizers furnish us with handcuffs, we are suppose to cuff together in a show of solidarity. Henry joins me, Jesus tells us he is going to go settle up with our waitress and will be right back. I secret wish that Henry will enjoy being handcuffed to me as much I am to him. Just then someone throws a bottle, and SWAT starts firing rubber bullets and tear gas. We are soon arrested, but luckily Jesus has enough cash to bail me out but not for Henry.
I would wear these:
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
with a hot pink dress and a black belt (à la Sarah Jessica Parker in SATC) to go GROCERY SHOPPING!
I would wear Donald J Pliner’s Zar Shoes on a starry night in Venice while casually sipping peach Bellinis at Harry’s Bar, just waiting for my gondolier to row by… A girl can dream :)

I would wear the Palkadium Balkle with knit thigh high socks in brown and light-brown (striped) and my generally sexy steampunk outfit:
photos
Why? Because my humanist tank-girl super-sexy alterego calls for a pair of boots that are all things sexy, durable, comfortable, and unforgettable. Because in boots like that I would perfect roundhouse kicks and parkour jumpabouts oh aye.
www.solestruck.com/dolce
The dolce vita madison, a simple, no frills pump with tons of subtle sex appeal.
I’d wear it with a wiggle dress (preferrable this one: www.pinupgirlclothing.com/viol…) and spend the night at a swanky, low-lit jazz club in San Francisco, smoking gold cigarettes, eating lush foods in bite-sized portions and enjoying delicious, hushed talk over candle light.
www.solestruck.com/dolce
i would wear these while hanging out with the boy i’ve loved for over two years, to make him kick himself for never loving me back.

I would wear the Rebels Fortune flats everywhere, everyday. I find that emphasizing my petite stature in cute little flats is my new favorite thing to do.
www.solestruck.com/rebels
i would wear the Betseyville GISEL shoes to a shopping spree in Paris with hot pink tights, a black pencil skirt, a deep gray beret, a grey ruffled blouse with a black long sleeve shirt under. then i would sit @ a cafe and drink hot cocoa and watch hawt french men pass by. later on i would put on a black 50’s style dress and dance the night away with one of thoes hawt french men. then he would wisk me away to the top of the eiffle tower and kiss me with fireworks exploding in the background. sigh le love.
I would wear these Mutha’s (http://www.solestruck.com/rocawear-visola-black/index.html#) with a graphic tee, ripped cigerette jeans, fingerless gloves, and a killer trench- to a Bob Dylan concert with The Band where I could geek out to my beatknick heart’s delight. :D
I’d love to have the BCBGirls Manon stiletto boots in Cream to wear to a mod themed tea-and-sushi party in the back room of my favorite restauraunt (zanmai sushi!!!) with my best friends… and we would have a blast.
I’d pair them with opaque black tights with a hole in one knee, ripped-up faded Daisy Dukes, a little-girl Christmas frock top in green crushed velvet which is about hip-length and has a lacy collar and long poofy sleeves. I might also add my pocketwatch necklace to the ensemble. YES! It would be incredible.

Guess – Banana
www.solestruck.com/guess
I would strut into the first 5-star hotel bar in London as if I owned the place (with a sexy, flowy print dress that goes with my shoes) and buy the cutest, most sophisticated man in the room a drink. I wouldn’t stay long of course – just enough to make him lust after me! – before tittering off in my Guess heels to a waiting car which speedily takes me to the London eye where all my best girly friends will be waiting with our very own pod to watch the sparkling lights of London at night. We will sip champagne and admire the bananas on my feet ;)
Please Gala – make my fantasy come true!
Totally realistic and quite literally pedestrian, but I would wear the Palladium Oshawa to work.
www.solestruck.com/palladium#
On days when I take the train, I walk for about an hour all told and these boots look comfy and stylish. I’d wear them with skinny jeans tucked in or with a short skirt and wooly tights.
Love your site, Gala. Thanks so much for all the inspiration.
I would wear the Betseyville Benidette peep-toes with a brightly-colored dress— maybe my teal one from Forever 21— to my boyfriend’s Christmas party. I would accessorize with a zebra-print bangle (also from Forever 21) since I think mixing patterns can be charming, and toenails painted in one of my favorite OPI polishes. Most of his family haven’t seen me since last Christmas, so not only will they be happy to see we’ve made it over a year now, they’ll be impressed with his choice of a fun, fashionable girl. Last year I wore a little black dress and gold MIA pumps, but this look would be even more fun to wear.
I would wear the Guess Behava in Black at one of Hugh Jackmans premiers along with my red and black spaghetti strap dress in an attempt to seduce him with my “charm”. Seriously I would wear them after I gave birth or while giving birth to my daughter I think that it would be very stying to wear some nice shoes while naked and in labor.
www.solestruck.com/betseyville#
sorry gala darling i forgot to post the picture! this are delicious!

I would wear these to my warehouse job (where I work with all men) just to shock them that I can look like a girl! They all believe I have nothing but a penis underneath my jeans!

I would wear these shoes with my sequiny black flapper style dress, leather motorcycle gloves, aviator goggles, and big fluffy faux fur short jacket. I would be sipping on sailor jerry’s and diet coke while I pilot my war turned mercenary ship through the stars, looking for my next big adventure and shouting out orders to my crew.
www.solestruck.com/delman
These I would wear with this outfit
www.polyvore.com/turquoise_gol…
And I would travel back to the time of the Trojan war, so I could peep at Helen and behold her historic beauty for myself (for some reason I’ve always been quite curious of her). Then I would find some spot high up where I could relax and watch the battle while sipping lemonade and enjoying the sun, all the while pondering convincing them I am a goddess and being doted upon instead of returning to my own time.
www.solestruck.com/franco
I would wear these absolutely LUSH boots with a red fluffy, frilly girly-girl dress, lace tights, and a military-type coat. Then I’d slide 6 or seven vintage rings on my fingers that I’d handpicked from a dusty stall at a HUGE flea market. I’d slick on some red lipstick and go horseback riding, bare-back, all the way across a Greek island, smiling at everyone I’d pass.
I would wear the Dansko Delilah boots to walk to classes during these cold & snowy months. Those boots with that button detailing plus bright tights and a skirt… mmhmm! Also they really have no heel, which is a plus as I am a piano major and don’t do well with heels when I’m trying to pedal. Would be perfect for an outdoor recital in the snow, if only that kind of thing ever happened…

I would wear the Vans classic slip on in chintz rose checker to new york city in January on my 2 year anniversary with my boyfriend!!
No, they arent the most extravagant shoe ever, but they are classic, and will perfectly hold all the memories of walking around new york city in the cold on our two year anniversary!!
I would for sure wear this with my blue zebra print belt(because zebra print is my favorite color)

When Gillian Welch finally realizes we are musical soul mates, she’ll entice me to quit my dayjob and join her band as the bass player and back-up singer. I’ll wear these shoes with a feminine, vintage inspired dress for our more formal gigs — like the Grand Ole Opry.
Our vocal harmonies will make you weep.
www.solestruck.com/steve# These boots would be my partners in crime while I become a professional vagabond. It doesn’t matter what I wore them with because they would be all I have. My clothes would vary slightly from day to day, removing layers when it got too hot, then putting them all back on when the sun began to set. These boots would be my companions from one coast to the other, from the past to the future and back again. I would hang out with the Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy, then travel forward to see Bonnie and Clyde. They would tell me their secrets on running from the law, robbing the rich, and how to survive.
I would wear Vince Camuto’s Raissa with wide-legged tweed trousers and spectacles for a future-sexy professor look.

Enzo Angiolini “Maylie”
I would wear these shoes while taking on New York City night life. Who cares if my feet ached and the heel would push my height over 6 feet? They are beautiful and the black patent leather matches my equally black hair perfectly. The night would start with dinner (pastrami sandwich) at Katz’s Deli then head to the Gazillion Bubble Show. After the Bubble show we’d sip a few cocktails and end the night at the hotel jumping on the bed and dancing until sunrise. PERFECT!
I would wear the Pastry Fab Cookie Shell Toe in ‘white pink’ with a pink lacy dress and teased out hair.
With this ensemble, I’m going to stumble through the woods on my way to a mad tea party. On my way, legions of pink, white, and blue bunnies will see me and recognize me as one of their own. They’ll then follow me closely, some on my heels and one sitting on my head, to the tea party. When we get there I have to ask my host to bring out carrot-cake-cupcakes for my little darlings. As well as asking them to bring out some extra chairs for our new guests…

I would wear the Dolce Vita Mollys…
www.solestruck.com/dolce
I would wear them a slinky black flapper dress, and my hair would be in fiery red fingerwaves. I would take my loverman to a speakeasy (what’s the password?) and we would dance the foxtrot and the charleston until we were dizzy! Then we’d probably run from the cops the rest of the night, haha.
www.solestruck.com/rocket
I’d wear these taupe booties to ring in the new year, and to celebrate being back in nyc with the boy, AND my new apartment. You’d find me on the back of a motorcycle, bundled up of course!
They’d be paired with cashmere stockings, a richly colored, purple-and-red paisley, high-waisted dress, my black wool coat and huge, vintage fur stole.

Steve Madden- Imperial in Red Patent
I’d wear these the day I walked out of my office job and started selling my handmade bags and vegan baked goodies out of my apartment!
I would wear the Palladium Bellingham www.solestruck.com/palladium#
in an post-apocalyptic future where I am a bounty hunter for the anti-Martian resistance. They would protect my feet as my only mode of transportation would be a bicycle crudely fashioned from old prams and refrigerator parts. I could keep a switchblade tucked inside, in case I encounter rogue Martians on the road. These boots would help fight the revolution!
Steve Madden-Gimbal
These are my dream boots, I have tried them on before and they are so hot and so perfect. I would wear them whenever I needed a lift in confidence or spirit. I would wear them with anything and they would be a pair of magical shoes.
I’d wear Chinese Laundry Attitude with my black satin high-waisted pencil skirt (with matching suspenders) and a slightly unbuttoned white collar shirt underneath to my job as a secretary to a major CEO.
I would wear the Sugar Fergie Flat with a bright red dress to every Christmas event this season. I’d stand-out and be the sexiest girl at the party.
I would wear these:

while reenacting a scene from one of my favorite movies; riding on a unicorn over a rainbow with Will Ferrell as a 70s cool-cat anchorman. ... I might skip the sex though. Unless he could be replaced with someone else, of course. Yeah, let’s replace him with Mokomichi.

In the near future when time machines are invented, I’ll wear those with a black knee-length poofy skirt with a random sequined pattern on it, a petticoat underneath for extra fluff, and a hot pink corset, to a Clash show in 1977. I’ll even be brave enough to risk a broken ankle in the crowd, you can’t go to a show like that and not dance! After the show, I’ll buy Joe Strummer a drink and we’ll talk all night about music. When I go back to the present the next morning, I’ll make sure to snag a souvenir of some kind, even if it’s just a band t-shirt!!
www.solestruck.com/betseyville
I would wear these adorable polka-dot heels to a night out on the town with my girls wearing white knee highs and a vintage dress to match.

I would wear these with EVERYTHING and every day I could! It would look amazing with both skinny jeans and this amazing Gap blouse I have, or my floral print dress, a nice warm cardigan, scarf, and of course black tights. I would probably live in these shoes!
Vince Camuto
RAISSA
www.solestruck.com/vince#
I would be throwing these bad babies on with a nice pair of comfy jeans, brown belt with a heart shaped buckle and a white tuxedo button down shirt, cami underneath and sleeves pushed up just above my wrists.
I find myself sitting in a dim bar off a dark alley with a glowing neon sign lighting the doorway, smoke lingering in the air, my hair is down with a slight wave and tussle and it is gently being blown by the ceiling fan above. I turn around on my swiveling stool facing backwards, leaning back with one elbow balancing my weight on the tall candle lit table behind me. With a classic dirty martini in my hand, I slowly cross my leg which slightly pulls up my pant leg just enough to display my sexy Rassia mink loafer that adorns my foot. Not the type of shoe that would normally be seen in a place like this, but then again, the same could be said about me. In the background, Prince is serenading the place with “Cream”, and I glace over to the table across from me, locking eyes with the man stationed there and begin to quietly lip the words “You’ve got the horn, so why don’t you blow it”. It startles him and he clumsily knocks over his drink, spilling it onto the table in front of him and it drips onto the matted carpet below. He stands up, still looking at me and winks, walks over to the bar and orders another drink for him and a dirty martini, my queue to go. By time he notices, I am gone, back into the dark alley with the glowing neon sign lighting the doorway.
OMG! So much to choose from.
I live in LA where it never rains, so I’d splurge on a pair of Chooka Wester Chief whale print rainboots! I’ve always wanted rainboots, but I could never justify the purchase!
www.solestruck.com/chooka#
And, I’d wear them when it rains, splashing in puddles with style! Rather then hiding out waiting for the sprinkle to pass (seriously, whenever it drizzles, it’s like, “Live-breaking news! Wet stuff is falling from the sky!”
:)
Also, I visit Atlanta and Texas a lot, where they get real thunderstorms. I’d wear them there too :).
i’m actually canadian… so i’m not TOO afraid of paying the shipping ;) anyway i would for THESE BOOTS
www.solestruck.com/palladium
these boots would see me through the long nights huddled by flaming garbage once the government falls apart, and i must lead my band of anarchistic rebels through the back alleys and underground cityscapes in order to survive up here in the cold north. with these i would be able to walk on shattered glass, kick armoured government agents in the face, and stand impressive and domineering before my fellow rebels (with these boots on, they would not notice i am only 5’4).
oh canadian politics…
www.solestruck.com/betseyville#
I’ve never owned red pumps…
I’d wear Betseyville Lexine red pumps because even though they’ve got some elevation, I’d be pretty confident to walk in them downtown on the brick sidewalks in the historic section of Charleston. I’d make every Southern Belle jealous that that damn Yankee is catching all the boys. I’d probably pair them with dark-wash jeans and a threadless t-shirt, and probably a jaunty beret.
EITHER THAT or:http://www.solestruck.com/dansko-professional-hickory-cabrio/index.html
Dansko professional in black. To work. To preserve my tootsies for the future. Running back and forth in a restaurant for seven hours straight means that my feet could use some comfort.
Anywhere and everywhere ♥!
I’m thinking a black widebrimmed hat, large black sunglasses, a red trench, and these shoes to a little midnight picnic in the park with candles and an FLB book.

www.solestruck.com/naughty#
with a little red dress and a looong grey circle scarf to go on a date with christian bale, in his batman costume. unfortunately, i have no time for dessert, because keanu reeves is waiting across the street, where we’ll be having coffee (with shots of bailey’s) and rich rich rich chocolate cake. unfortunately, keanu sees christian walking out of the restaurant and asks if he can excuse himself to grab at autograph from batman. while they’re outside talking, i take pictures to post on the internetz.

I would have to say those shoes, so that I can finally be tall enough to become a professional basket ball player. These shoes have that slight sneaker look ( well to me they do) so when I cross the street, maybe like, the uber basket ball coach will spot me and think HEY! She’s got the gear! I bet she can play like a pro! Thus, I would use my basket ball fame to ensure everyone has at least 1 item of green clothing, which will bring happyness and joy to all, finally at the end of my career, i will frame those shoes and send the in a craft into space, so maybe another being can find fame and happiness with them :)
The End
Disclaimer ~ These shoes may not actually give you basketball skills
I would wear these awesome shoes walking the fabulous street of new york city. Shopping in Soho and checking out all the amazing art galleries. At night these shoes would go with me an a date with a major hottie,as we paint the town red.
www.solestruck.com/betseyville
I would wear the Molly pumps by Dolce Vita with a pair of slashed pale pink ballet tights, a flouncy brown mini skirt and cashmere scoop neck sweater, probably with a crocheted flower headband. I’d rock these on a hot date. They’d be perfect since I love tall men but I’m only 5’1”. They’d get me up to a whopping 5 foot 5 and a half! Genius!

id wear this to a tea party with all my friends in a land of pinkness and prettyness and girlyness.
www.solestruck.com/betseyville
I would wobble down the streets of my town on my yellow bicycle while wearing these Betseyville Bernidette pumps. I’d be wearing a white tank tucked into black flouncy skirt (with some ridiculously tacky pink and and red gemstone rings and a huge ribbon in my hair – for balance).
I’ve called in sick so that I can bring a surprise tupperware tin full of chicken pasta to a heartbroken friend and then take them out for pastries – I’m better cut out for balancing on bicycles than reception-work, anyway.
I would wear the Jeffrey Campbell “Driggs” shoes whilst shelving the books in the most magical library of all time. I would wear cream thigh-high socks, a tweed miniskirt, and a draped grey jersey top to go with it; my hair would be held up with a quill pen. Such a library would have tomes on the names of birds and flowers, recipes for tarts that taste just like being home again, spellbooks on how to see faeries…entire rooms with vault upon vault of perfumes, each one cross-cataloged with maker, year, and note; phials of pixie dust and gryphon feathers; a reading room with chairs arranged by what you want to do—study or fall asleep reading; high windows that let in buttery sunlight…Such a library would be arranged in a great spiral, and standing at the bottom on the lapis-tiled floor one could look up to see all the vastness of the knowledge that awaited you, plus a a chandelier of candles that never go out and never drip wax on unsuspecting heads.
I would wear these shoes to the funeral of Bettie Page wearing thigh high patent leather spats and a Coco de Mer horse tail corset underneath a bright 1950’s day dress with a voluminous skirt. I would then start a bondage parade in her memory, and as the parade moves down the streets of the city, businessmen and women alike will drop their briefcases, take off their dowdy suits and flat shoes and join the parade. We will adorn them with harnesses and diamantes and they will never be slaves to beige underwear again!
p.s. there will be copious amounts of cake, of course, because there always is in anything my mind creates :P

I would wear these stellar kicks to finally muster up enough courage to do a poetry reading.
Had I had these yesterday I would have worn the Betseyville Janae (http://www.solestruck.com/betseyville-janae-blue/index.html) shoes to my party with nothing but a big blue bow over my breasts and a duct-tape miniskirt.
Instead I wore this outfit: img.photobucket.com/albums/v34…
actually, I would still wear those shoes with the outfit described and just show up at my crush’s dorm. That would get his attention!
www.solestruck.com/rocket
i would wear these and go run around venice, they are having a bit of flood there according to the news, i’ve seen pictures of toursits sitting around drinking wine while the water is almost up to their knees
I would wear (Samuari Silver Old Metal Gore) www.solestruck.com/rocket on a trip to the moon with my boyfriend. We’d take the stars and cluster them together and use the heat to roast spacemallows. :) When? We’d skip school and go, of course! (But only after French, the best class of the day. xD )
I would wear my Jeffrey Campbell Camp Two’s in wine suede while I eat cheese fondue and drink shiraz. My super hip shoes would make me look much more fabulous while I try to pretend that I know the difference between a shiraz and a merlot…
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
I would wear these Rocket Dog boots (in Off White) whilst jumping in puddles here in the streets of London and twirling my pirate umbrella!
www.solestruck.com/rocket
I’d wear www.solestruck.com/palladium to go out saving pretty lost boys in the middle of the night :D
(OK I’m not from US, but I have friends living there coming these Christmas, does that count?)
www.solestruck.com/chinese#
I would wear these Chinese Laundry Bentley heels in navy with a bright yellow tube dress and some big shades. I’d meet my boyfriend in the park for a picnic date. We’d both have our puppies with us and we would eat fruit salad and sandwiches while people watching. Then we would take a stroll around the lake and our magical date would end with a boat ride that involved lots of cute cliche pictures of us stealing kisses near the swans :D
www.solestruck.com/seychelles
These teal Seychelles would look super hot with a pair of black sateen cigarette pants and a light, blouse-y, dolman sweater (like this! www.boscovs.com/wcsstore/bosco…).
With a cute clutch and sparkly earrings it’d be the perfect outfit to go to Chapel (on Capitol Hill: www.thechapelbar.com/) and sip delicious fruitinis while making eyes at sexy strangers.
www.solestruck.com/betseyville#
I would wear these with my light blue ripped jeans, magenta tights and black dress. Layers ahoy!

I would wear these to my own art gallery opening. i would wear them only with a faux fur black coat with a corset on top. Next would be a dance party at click and drag!
www.rob
www.solestruck.com/betseyville
Oh oh! I would wear these with a black ruffly mini-dress and sexy delicious underthings to a swingers club! The heel would give me extra confidence and I would exude sex appeal in my mysterious yet adorable sex kitten lolita boots. Yow!

I’d love to wear the Dolce Vita Madison heels with anything and everything.
Kiwi girl, happy to pay shipping :)
Sassy black leather slouch boot with metal studs:
www.solestruck.com/nina
Her platinum hair tickles her waist gently in the cool summer night. Deep in the bush, a morepork owl calls her name, soothes her as she pulls on her blood-red leather jacket; the sleeves just a bit too short, she tugs them up her forearms. Suddenly, she is running, swiftly and discreetly through the trees. She disregards the underbrush clawing at the regal purple tights she thought would provide the warmth that her black denim skirt would not. She draws her focus to the calm huff of the doberman at her heels, easily keeping up, easily gaining on her. Moonlight mirrors off the silver spikes of his collar, mimicking the reflection from the studs on her black leather boots. He follows these dancing fairies in faith, in love.
I would wear these:
www.solestruck.com/rocket
To the job interview I’m definitely going to get (positive thinking) for the new job I’ve applied for!
www.solestruck.com/oh#
I would wear the Oh Deer! Toffee in Fans Cotton Gold for a little time machine romp back to the 1920’s in full flapper regalia with a matching gold shell and feather hairpiece. I would rub elbows with the elite and pose for an art nouveau portrait by Alphonse Mucha. After a night of dancing the charleston with some mysterious strangers, I conveniently “miss” my ride back home.
www.solestruck.com/bcbgirls
I would wear these gallivanting around Tokyo, buying all sorts of miniature plastic goodness (food and octopus and oh my!) and eating pastries with a dyed Persian cat in my purse a la Tim Walker (http://fashionisthevictim.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/tw101.jpg).
In fact, the whole thing would be very Tim Walker-kind of hazy and magically cute.
I’d wear these: www.solestruck.com/dolce# in my sexy librarian fantasies.
i would tooootally rock the Jeffrey Campbell Camp 2’s (in black, of course!) with black, satin pants and big, crazy hair. i have a feeling Tina Turner would be involved in this outing in some way or another, whether it be shaking it wildly on stage along side her, or just blasting her music on my stereo. either way, i’d look hot!

These boots were made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do!
www.solestruck.com/dolce
i would wear these with a black pencil skirt, seamed stockings, and sexy lingerie. i would wear them to a smoky jazz bar in new york city. my date would pick me up at my door and would be so stunned at how beautiful i looked that he wouldn’t be able to keep his hands off of me. i would tower over everyone i walked past. i would finish off my look with pin curls and red lipstick, and flirt with the bartender for free drinks.
www.solestruck.com/oh
I would wear the Oh Deer! Strata black pumps on a date with my Russian prince boyfriend, to the finest sushi restaurant in Moscow, I’d be draped in a beautiful (fake) fur coat and he’d be in an Armani tux. Sigh.
I want those Guess Borda Mary Janes! I would wear the sh*t out of those shoes. I would wear them right after I got out of the shower, and I would wear them to sleep.
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
I’d wear these shoes to a wine tasting in Barcelona, accompanied by a guitar-strumming Italian
I also want the Guess Borda shoes. To wear while kicking zombie ass!
Oh, Gala, let’s talk about shoes.
Let’s talk, in particular, about Jeffrey Campbell’s “Berry” (in brown) — www.solestruck.com/jeffrey — and how they are the shoes my dusty, musty, English Teacher cum Rockstar dreams are made of.
Let’s talk about how I will wear these with a vintage high-waisted tweed skirt, an almost unnecessarily ruffly blouse, fishnet stockings, my hair piled on top of my head in a sloppy bun and my favorite canvas satchel (containing my Moleskine journal, Two Girls Fat and Thin by Mary Gaitskill, plenty of ungraded papers, and lots of little scraps of paper.)
Let’s talk about how I will wear these first to work (teaching British Literature to bleary-eyed high schoolers) and later to band practice, where my boyfriend and I will play a variety of instruments (including the melodica, the electric guitar, the drums, the mandolin, the ukulele, and the bass guitar.)
These shoes are, clearly, vital and necessary for both career and extracurricular activities.
The Guess Borda shoes! I would wear them in Italy… Italy is my dream destination!
I want these:
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
The Jefferey Campbell Steppin
I would wear them with a full retro wardrobe! These would be perfect for showing up at the post office to send packages to loved ones
jeffrey campbell “burbs” – wearing a black pencil skirt with a frilly white blouse or black skinny jeans and a leather jacket. probably wearing this amazing outfit to an art gallery opening or just walking around san francisco getting sushi
seychelles “who are you with” – with a cute off white lacey dress to a picnic with plenty of cupcakes!
I would wear these beauties
www.solestruck.com/steve
with my thigh high stockings, super short red and black mini and a black and red sparkly corest, black and red hair teased and foofy…to seduce my boyfriend!
Then we’d go for coffee and cuppy cakes no matter what time of day or night and come up with funny poems about all the people we see.
I would wear the Betseyville Lenore boots as I strolled down the old fashioned streets of Edinburgh Scotland (where I hope to go next year) at dusk as I go to meet my, just made long lost soul mates, Scottish friends. We’re off to the pub and then to go see Amanda Palmer live in concert at some small, out of the way, club. Because we have tickets for the floor, the boots will aid me in my quest to be able to see over the heads of everyone taller than me so I can get as great a view of the stage as possible. After the concert we’d run around the partly disserted streets laughing and dancing about with gay abandon! The perfect night and the perfect boots to go with it.
I would wear the “Dolce Vita Madison” shoes to sip on cocktails in swanky New York City bars with Lady GaGa. I would wear this outfit:
www.polyvore.com/80s_trash_que…
Everyone would stop and stare because of how completely out of place we looked with our 80’s Trash Queen ensembles, but we wouldn’t care because we have cosmopolitan cocktails and amazing shoes!
Also, in a Bettie Page tribute, I’d say a girl could rock those Guess Borda Maryjanes while she plays Bondage Bettie. ;)
I’d wear the Nina Remind Me Oxfords everywhere!! In particular I’d wear them when I go on a great chicago adventure with by best friend. We’re going to ragstock, the art museaum, and then ice skating next!! These’d look awesome with some skinny jeans and an awesome scarf and my cat hat.
www.solestruck.com/nina
I would wear the Steve Madden Buck in Black Leather boots to my first day of Reporting for Television class so I could kick the Blond Broadcast Brigade out of my way. Then I would coyly stand with my feet out of the camera shot, wearing my conservative broadcast-appropriate attire and killer boots. KA-POW!
Afterwards I would tease out my short curls [Marla Singer style], slip on my swankiest jacket/comfiest clothes and terrorize the downtown area.
www.solestruck.com/steve
I’d take these (http://www.solestruck.com/kenneth-cole-reaction-sixy-lady-pewter-midnight/index.html#), because they’re ultracute and stylish, but I’d still stand a chance if a chase ever ensued. Hell, I might even find reasons to provoke a chase. . . perhaps I’d wear them during top-secret missions involving vandalism or second-rate espionage!
www.solestruck.com/steve#
I’d never won anything in my life. But I could feel my luck changing. The annual two-step contest was coming up and I could feel something down to the soles of my lucky Steve Madden Gimbal boots. The day of the contest, I strapped on those lucky shoes and two-stepped my little heart out. Hoisting that trophy high above my head in front of Ellie-May was the best moment of my life… so far. There’s always next year’s contest, after all.
(This is not true. I’ve never two-stepped in my life, nor do I have a feud with anyone named “Ellie-May.”)
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
I would wear these with the perfect girly summer dress to a cute picnic in Central park with a lover.
:]
www.solestruck.com/bcbgirls#
I would wear these on one of those crisp, lazy Sundays. The kind where you eat cinnamon bagels and strawberries in bed for breakfast while watching old reruns of the Wonder Years on TV. Sundays move slowly as I get dressed in an old gray AC/DC shirt and a flouncy white miniskirt that looks like a cupcake. I pile charm bracelets on my wrists so I can jingle when I walk to warn the world I’m coming, clicking down the street in my heels on my way to meet B downtown at Dyers for cheeseburgers and milkshakes. We walk down Beale and stop in A. Schwabs, playing around with the giant sunglasses and rubber ducks. Sunday nights slip like dark, smooth chocolate over me as I dance with B to the soft, crooning voice of Frank Sinatra as B sings along in my ear, “You are so beautiful.” We drink white hot chocolate and eat cookie dough on the pink shag carpet of my room, listening as the rain slides gently over the windowpane.
I would wear the Seychelle’s About Face boots with a petticoat and two braids to frolic in the meadows, just like Laura from Little House on the Prairie!
http://www.solestruck.com/seychelles-about-face-brown/index.html
I’d wear these lovely mismatched flats with jeans, a soft hoodie, and a backpack full of fluffy blankets and treats out to rescue lost puppies!
www.solestruck.com/camper
I’d wear Jessica Simpson’s Demore heels in Black Patent with a little red dress to go out for penne a la vodka with the cute boy who sits behind me in Microbiology. : )
I’d also wear them with shorts and miniskirts in the summer, no matter how tacky that may be…because they’re just SO cute I would never want to take them off.
www.solestruck.com/jessica
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
I would wear the Jeffrey campbell Burbs platform heels shoes to NYC’s fashion week, where I would hang out with mary kate and ashley, have lunch with galadarling in my agent provocateur snake hold ups, brush shoulders with anna wintour where she stops dead, compliments my outfit and hires me as her protege at Vogue on the spot! After I’d hit up the hottest dance clubs and drink sangria all night to celebrate with gala darling and all the NYC readers!
www.solestruck.com/naughty#
I thought these shoes where so pretty!
They reminded me of something I would wear to like an office Christmas party with a little black dress and red jewelry! Very festive!
lol
the red and black ones obviously!
www.solestruck.com/betseyville#
I would wear these to go visit a winter wonderland. To stroll the snow covered streets of Russia or London or NYC or some other place in the world. I’d war them with black tights and a teal dress and a purple scarf. Then I would go into some coffee shop in NYC and sit down with a hot chocolate and write a novel. then meet some strange characters who tell me their life stories of rags to riches and back to rags again or their long lost youthful loves and travels around the world. It would be a good day and would end by pulling these boots off and snuggling by the fire with someone tall dark and handsome who reads me poetry.
www.solestruck.com/oh#
I would wear these with a hot pink dress, and a contrasting rich wine cardigan and studded belt on the runway! I would model these shoes as part of marc jacobs f/w 09 collection where i’d walk with likes of gemma ward, chanel iman, and agyness deyn! after we’d don our frocks and hang out with marc himself and we’d all get tattooed together at a private studio!
www.solestruck.com/enzo#
I would wear these on a frigid day to bring some life to the dreary streets of boston. i’d hit up Finale for some delicious cupcakes, and head down newbury street on a shopping spree after meeting up with my amazingly hot yet to exist boyfriend at my favorite cafe. After he’d take me to the docks and we’d kiss in the cold air and venture to the beach where i’d have to take them off, but it would be the perfect day!
I would most definately wear the Nina Just Me Ss in Burgundy the day after Christmas. I would go on a snowfilled stroll with my boy with hot chocolate and my favorite hat. I’d wear my plaid dress, my black leggings, my black underskirt, and my black jacket. We would walk through the woods and take pictures of us standing on snowy rocks and candid shots of squirrels in his woods.
Then we’d walk around and look at all the crazy christmas lights still on the houses. And hold hands : )
www.solestruck.com/nina
They are adorable and wonderful and perfect for the snowy icy weather that’s hit recently.
i would wear rocket dog’s ‘giftwrap’ shoes to play in the sunshine, swing in the park, hold my lover’s hand, and sing songs to myself and the world.. they are so cute!
I’d wear the Jeffrey Campbell Burbs on my first date with Robert Pattinson, vampire style. With a pristinely white minidress, mussed hair and the most perfect shade of red lipstick. We would go to an underground rock show and spend the rest of the night staring intensely at one another on the roof of a skyscraper.
I would wait for spring and a lovely rainy day before doning these red and black rainboots with a poofy skirt and my favorite tee and go out singing along to my mp3 player in the rain with giant obvious headphones. I’d smile at everyone caught in the rain, probably go walk all the way to our local book store and spend a fabulous afternoon shopping for new cookbooks to decorate my kitchen with. ^.~
www.solestruck.com/chooka#
Alternatively, I’d wear my new Jeffrey Campbell “Berry” oxfords with perfectly dark-rinsed skinny jeans, a plaid shirtdress, the coziest scarf, and the rosiest cheeks as I sipped on my latte in a cafe in Germany. I’d catch the eye of a dreamy, bespectacled European and we’d ditch our beverages to hold hands and go ice skating. I would be distressed to part with my shoes until told that they could be converted to skates, just for the afternoon.
I would wear the Nina Just Me Oxford heels to go shopping in France. Grocery shopping! I would parade around the different shops in my favorite black princess dress and nibble on a baguette in a crisp brown bag. I would feel fabulous and wave to shopkeepers.
I’d wear the silver Birkenstock Gizeh’s with an off-white, see-through linen floor-length robe, kept(mostly) shut with a wide, gold fishscale belt and thick, ropey anklets with bells while riding through the desert on camel. My hair would be half braided with gold thread and I’d have a Cleopatra headdress on underneath a white cotton head scarf, which I’d take off once I reached the oasis. I’d be wearing fantastic Elizabeth-Taylor-as-Cleopatra makeup and would meet up with my own Richard Burton by the water. We’d recline together on silk pillows and eat dates soaked in honey and drink sweet wine until I decide it’s time to kick off my ‘stocks…
It’s snowing outside, I’m thinking of warmer places and – ahem – times.
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
These would be worn to my first meeting with a new sub boy. It would be the first thing he would see, because of course he can’t look at anything but the feet he worships. They would be worn with the black gangster set from agent provocateur, seamed black thigh highs and freshly done nails with peppermints painted on my pinkies.
I would wear these shoes ALWAYS.
1) with ripped black tights while acting the scandalous kitten I always secretly have wished that I am.
2) with a gorgeous purple dress, to a fashion show, or out on the streets, to show everybody that a tall girl, can look good in tall shoes.
3) with nothing else at all! These fabulous Campbell’s (which i could not afford on my own) would just make any outfit… or look fine all by themselves!
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
I would wear these shoes walking through Paris on my way to the Eiffel Tower, where I am hurrying to kiss my love after months of being apart.
www.solestruck.com/steve
I would wear the Seychelles “Too Many Cooks” with leather leggings and an oversized ivory sweater to drink wine on a sidewalk with my dachshund at my side. I would otherwise be alone and sit contemplating a big scandalous secret. Ta!
www.solestruck.com/seychelles
I would wear the Lenore boots (http://www.solestruck.com/betseyville-lenore-black/index.html) with a black tutu and an exquisite bra with lots of lace and polka dots. Then, I would apply for a job at the Coyote Ugly bar and spend the night provocatively dancing with Izabella Miko. The night would end with us having a late night party drinking pink lemonade and eating red velvet cupcakes while some cute boys with fangs and leather pants danced to us :)
My boyfriend would pick me up in the morning and we would make some passionate love on top of the hood (of a black limousine of course), me having nothing but the boots on :P
Dolce Vita Madison
www.solestruck.com/dolce

www.solestruck.com/oh
Now
thesebeauties are over the price limit. But they are oh so sexy.www.solestruck.com/report
Where would I wear these? Everywhere. To the grocery store with black skinny jeans and a baggy slouchy Tshirt.
To a New Years party with my very classic flapper dress (so pretty, its white and very classic Vegas)
Caramel Nina t-straps want rumply tweedy knee socks turned in toe-to-toe beneath an olive plaid pencil skirt and a huge ivory cardigan – but wait, this is for marking that overdue manuscript and it’s far too late for that. Seamed stockings replace the socks and attach to garters on the vintage all-in-one under the skirt; the sweater unveils its high-necked silk chemise counterpart. My heels click on the oak floor of his study and round, green eyes slowly lift the brim of a mahogany cloche.
“Has Baby been a good girl today?”
www.solestruck.com/nina
I love the Burbs by Jeffrey Campbell (http://www.solestruck.com/jeffrey-campbell-burbs-black-silver/index.html). Realistically, no one here would know those from Payless shoes, but I would love it if people where I live would appreciate their awesomeness – I’d just wear them to dive bars and restaurants here in Portland. Ooh or maybe to look fierce at a high school reunion.
I would wear the Rocket Dog Giftwraps to stride gracefully into my devilishly difficult quantum mechanics class, BEAST the term test, and show all those chauvinist boys (and my chauvinist professor) a thing or two.
Then I would go with my best friend to the art museum to draw, and to wink at the security guards.
www.solestruck.com/betseyville#
I’d wear these with a black strapless knee-length dress, a blue beret, a lot of chunky blue jewelry and a huge pair of sunglasses to run errands while hiding from the downers and killjoys of the world. I’d also carry around an assortment of blue lollipops to give to friendly looking strangers. :)

I would holla at the Jeffrey Campbell North 6 shoes: www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
with just a giant t shirt and my hair all crazy. I would go to drawing class then run to the club and dance a lot. (they’re across the street at my university). haaaaaAAAAaaAayyy
I would wear the Guess Borda in bronze to throw an epic tea party. There would be stockpiles of all kinds of tea, cupcakes, cookies, and tea sandwiches. I’d invite zebras, fire breathers, and anyone who wanted to come! We would all try on each other’s shoes no matter how outrageous the shoe size difference was and then take pictures of ourselves making silly faces in them.
i’d rock the Pastry Glam Pie shoes in Gold & Lavender
http://www.solestruck.com/pastry-glam-pie-gold-lavender/index.html to my Immunology labs at university. Running Western Blots and taking blood samples in styyyyle! my shoes & i would be the envy of all aspiring scientists.

I would wear my Camper Peu Ideal 46029 to keep my feet warm as the ball drops at midnight, New Year’s Day in Times Square.
I would wear Pastry’s Fab Cookie in Dark Cherry (http://www.solestruck.com/pastry-fab-cookie-dark-cherry/index.html#) when hanging out with the boys. Being a total tomboy, I can geek out with the best of ‘em. But I don’t want to forget my feminine side. After all, I’m still a girl!!
a teensy black skirt that falls right at my ass will swoosh back and forth with the swaying of rumba drums in the streets of havana at midnight. there are millions of shiny shiny stars above and my betseyville lani’s will have sexmanimous men drooling at my feet.
www.solestruck.com/betseyville
then i wake up, haha!!
www.solestruck.com/dansto
I would wear these boots with a black knee length skirt, my purple sweater with the collar that droops in the front and my dark brown hair at its possible waviest.
I’d go to my favorite french restaurant, book in tow to stare over at the hot guy across the room. He’d be so attacted by my quiet, mysterious style that he would have no choice but to float over to find out who I was.
www.solestruck.com/delman
I would wear these with colored tights, a high-waist skirt with a t-shirt tucked in, a silk scarf tied into a dainty knot, a simple cardigan, and a headband. It could also work with a circle skirt. I would, for once, express my inner style through my clothing (my fashion habit is rather private).
www.solestruck.com/nina#
Nina Remind Me SS in silver! I would wear them with my new pixie haircut, a short dress with a petticoat underneath, a black hat and a cane to go tap dancing through the forest on a moonlit night along with a band of forest animals, all wearing the same twinkle toe shoes.
I would wear the Delman Invoke in Gold Metallic with a floral print sundress and a gold sequined short-sleeved bolero, carrying around a heart-shaped purse and drink with a little Hawaiian parasol in it… in the middle of winter. I’ll get sick and a handsome doctor will fall in love with my charmingly red nose. He’ll anonymously send me flowers every day and I’ll draw him pictures with crayons and have the other nurses put them in his briefcase when he’s not looking. Once I get well again he’ll whisk me away to his house in the Keys for the rest of the winter, and I’ll end up moving there and becoming a tortured artist for the rest of my days.

These Silver Sequin Oh Deer Gelatos (http://www.solestruck.com/oh-deer!-gelato-silver-sequin/index.html) are perfect for skipping on starlight ;).
I would wear the Hearst by Report while adventuring deep in the rain forest.
After hiking for hours – and never breaking a sweat – I’d reach the ancient tomb of Mongoli. In front of me is the legendary rainbow diamond BUT WAIT!-
Out of the corner of my eye I spy a helpless kitten about to become lunch for a bloodthirsty crocodile! With some quick thinking I whip out my only tool: Dior lipstick in Action Red.
I jump onto the nearest vine and sail through the air, expertly throwing my lipstick and knocking the croc out cold! I land on his head and beat my chest – I’m queen of the jungle now, bitches!
I scoop up the kitten and the rainbow diamond and make my way back to civilization. During our ride back to the airstrip me and kitten, whom I’ve named Karat, decide what we should spend our fortune on. For her: a diamond encrusted collar & a tuna factory. For me: more Dior lipstick and some more kickass shoes from Solestruck — Besides, what more does a girl need?

I would wear the Betseyville Lexine
(in Black, sz 9.5) to flit around to different Christmas parties! With some sparkle tights, a satin dress and a pretty chain necklace, I will give these shoes a good home! In the off time I could raise baby dinosaurs and make cotton candy with these lovelies…
I would wear a pair of Black Enzo Angiolini Depps (8.5)
with opaque black tights a short Rodarte “bloodstained” chiffon dress and a Rick Owens Leather jacket out to search for rare books at my local book store, then out to sushi with my husband and finally to a Dario Argento film at Hollywood theater. After that we would hit the bars together until sunrise. Romance realized through shoes! Perfection!
Burbs by Jeffery Campbell
Since it’s winter I would wear them with my black shiny AA leggings and my green sweater. Or since I live in Southern California, if it’s warm I could rock my Miss Sixty mini-dress. Ooh, it would be good. We’d head out to the Block Party show this next week or to a show at the Casbah.
I would wear the Dolce Vita Molly stilettos to a fabulous ball at my beautiful French chateau!
www.solestruck.com/dolce#
I’d attire myself in these lovely Dolce Vita Molly heels while dining out with Miss Betty & Don Draper of Mad Men. We would drink red wine, nibble on food with names we couldn’t pronounce, and discuss the promising economy of the 50’s. This would of course be before a secretary themed photo shoot with pin up Queen Dita Von Teese.
I would wear Chinese Laundry’s Velmas in a noir scene with some Robert Downey Jr. knock-off hot for hairy-legged women in heels. Together, we would solve the case of the missing cupcakes – which sounds like a benign adventure, but the trail of crumbs would not be easy to follow. Along the way, there would be tommy guns, red herrings, and kitchen timers counting down to explosions! (You know, because they’re strapped to some dynamite that will boom boom when the timers ding.) At first there’d be anger between me and said knock-off, but then there’d be PASSION! And everything would come together with kissing and frosting.
www.solestruck.com/jeffrey
I would wear these frickin’ everywhere. I’d wear them with a vintage pin-stripe suit tailored to make it much more feminine… suspenders and fedora included, of course! I’d go out dancing… pretending to be Fred Astaire, even though I’d probably trip over my own feet. Hey, at least my feet will look pretty while they’re doing the tripping!
These Jeffrey Campbell Camp 2 Wine in Suede heels ROCK!
(http://www.solestruck.com/jeffrey-campbell-camp-2-wine-suede/index.html)
I live in Texas, so I might actually be tempted to go try out line dancing with these. Or even go to the Rodeo in February [they’ve got awesome concerts!]. But mostly, I’d wear them to bed. They’re THAT amazing!
omg! great prize for today gala!
anyway, if i were to get any of the shoes, i’d get the eighty twenty may pull-up boots with the concealed wedges! i’d wear them when i go to london and dubai this summer. sure it might be 50+ degrees celsius there in dubai, but hey! i’d look hot. ;)
(http://www.solestruck.com/eighty-twenty-may-luggage-pebble-grain/index.html)
other than that, i’d get those betseyville sweater-inspired knit clog pumps! those are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! i’d wear them to the next poshest christmas party i’d have to go to with my parents—and trust me, there’s a lot—with a sleek black frock, or maybe i’d get my grandma to knit me something matching!
(http://www.solestruck.com/betseyville-leslie-black/index.html)
I would wear my pastry fab cookie boot www.solestruck.com/pastry with my pink silk pants (the ones with the grass stained knees from my first kiss) to go play in the park! I would sprinkle glitter on the heads of sullen teenagers and do a dance on a picnic table.
Wheeeeeeee!

The morning sunlight peering through the blinds told her that she had never been on tour with Led Zeppelin. Her dreams had deceived her once again. Beth rolled out of bed, hazy idealized ideas of the 1977 quickly fading into 2008. “Gotta live in the now…live my own time, my own dreams,” she muttered, tossing on a denim jacket over her v-neck tee. Skirt. Necklace. She found her bag and headed out the door. She mussed her hair and snapped on the blue shades her dad hadn’t wanted anymore. She felt taller than usual, and a sense of power seemed to jolt from her feet.
“Ah, my limo is here,” she purred as the subway’s doors opened in front of her. Time flew by, and she soon paraded into a room with bright lights pointing at a display of items. People were gathered around them. It’s so hard to be a famous artist. Gallery openings always shook her up. She pulled what felt like a cigarette from her bag and stuck it in her mouth. She began to dig for a lighter and was quickly interrupted.
“You’re late. Get to work,” barked an older gent, pointing to some sort of levitating paper. Fans seem to get more and more obnoxious about autographs these days. She tilted her head down and looked him in the eye.
“Hey bud, I don’t have to sign anyth…” her sunglasses dropped to the floor. She looked up at a blank drawing pad on an easel and saw a still life set up in the middle of the room. She tasted art material in her mouth. She spat out the vine charcoal stick, realizing she was still just an art student. Embarrassed, Beth looked down at her feet. Black leather and studs glimmered against the gross college classroom floor. Who knew a pair of shoes could give her such an ego trip?

OH YES, I would definitely wear these www.solestruck.com/jeffrey# ferocious beauties with anything, for instance a wonderful date with a significant other(s) for lunch at the local retirement center and continue on after that with a wonder shopping session at a lovely shopping center (swap meet, mall, yard sale, donation center) for a few short-lived hours, and end the date at a lonely alley, or even bar, with no particular idea for the future.

I would wear these while fighting off a zombie horde.
And then I would attend a burlesque show afterward.
i would wear jeffrey campbell’s “kent” www.solestruck.com/jeffrey in grey, paired with skinny acid wash denim jeans with a knit sweater and wool coat. complete with a leather satchel carrying a good book, my sketchbook, camera, and a change of clothes, i will be on a cross-country journey by train, on a quest to take a strip of photos in every single photobooth located in the united states.

One day I will wake up with a meadow out my window, with candy growing from the ground. That day I’ll slip out of my princess bed, in my elegant slip. Chuck on my gown, my crown and find the biggest basket in the world. Left foot Pastry Fab Cookie Boot Neo Berry and the Right foot Pastry Fab Cookie Boot Neo fruit. I’d run through the meadow munching, crunching, stomping, skipping, laughing, smiling and being just Royal in my Boots.

I would wear these to my school formal! I’m going for a gothic 1950’s look, so with a black corset dress, adorned with tulle at the bottom, black velvet elbow-length gloves, dyed black pearls, and jet black pin-up girl curls.
I’d dance all night and get mad blisters, but beauty is pain, no?
It’d be epic.
Oh my word, so many amazing shoes!
I would wear these www.solestruck.com/steve fantastic heels with EVERYTHING, but they really inspire me to put on some sexy lingerie and seduce my boyfriend.
i would wear these www.solestruck.com/jeffrey for a long day of scouring old newspaper archives at the chicago public library while listening to soothing music on my mp3 player. then i’d meet my boyfriend for an impromptu picnic next to our favorite dog park where we’d sit on a grass colored blanket, watch the golden retriever hoard all the tennis balls, and toss truffles into each others mouths (while taking secret sips from my flask).
i made a polyvore set to express my love for these shoes!

oh deer! superstar;
i’m in rapture.
i’d wear these with harem pants, a slouchy white vest top, leather jacket, turquoise false eyelashes (matching nails, bien sûr!), and a spritz of vera wang ‘princess’. i’d drop into costa for an orange hot chocolate to go, bustin’ some dizzee rascal out my pink skullcandy headphones (har har), then browse around little jewellery shops looking wistfully at the engagement rings.
alternatively, i could wear them with tights, a black pencil skirt and white blouse with star-shaped buttons, and totally nail my job interview at lush.
:)
My pick is the BCBGirls Labany in cream color: www.solestruck.com/bcbgirls#
I would wear them to a Mary J. Blige concert. (I love that woman. I think she’s amazing, strong, and beautiful in so many ways.) Being backstage with a VIP pass, of course, I’d rock these boots all night with some skinny jeans tucked in & a white tube top, or just pair them with a slinky white cowl-neck dress. After dancing and singing the night away, I’d meet her and let her shine compliments on my fabulous shoes, while I compliment her on her great performance. We’ll both rave about how wonderful the night has been and then become BFF’s!—bonding through our mutual passion for life, music, and beautiful fur boots.
Afterwards, we’d have a night out on the town (Tokyo, of course), experiencing the night markets, shops, and clubs. Then the next day, we’d hike up a mountain (yes, I would wear those same boots. Versatility is a good thing!) and spend the day at a secluded, traditional-style Japanese garden, sipping tea and talking to monks. :)
When he was first assigned to her, he didn’t mind. He knew that she had to be talented to make it this far, especially in such a competitively men’s field. He was happy to work for someone so talented, irregardless of their gender. But, eying her once more, he was beginning to considering that there was some merit to some of those rumors. She was wearing skin-painted-black PVC pants (they allowed for movement, she claimed; he called bullshit) and her Her chest was bound to prevent interference, but there was only so much binding could do.
None of that bothered him.
What bothered him were her shoes: shiny, and patent, and completed with lacing. They were guaranteed to give her a sprained ankle by the end of the night, especially with the stiletto heel adding four inches to her, causing her to tower over absolutely nothing. In fact, between the way the light reflected off the leather in alleyway and the extra inches between her and the ground, they caused her to be an easier target.
Stilettos. Even Laura freaking Croft had the decency to wear boots.
When he questioned her about the heels, however, she just smiled. The fact that you noticed makes you twice as observant than the rest of the men in our department, was all she had said. He mentally translated that as, I am going to get you killed tonight with my incompetence.
She led him down one ally and into another, and he jumped a fence into a third while she stepped down a stack of wooden boxes. He frowned. Was it him or was she starting to misstep in those? At that moment, she yelled Duck! and instinctively he fell down to his knees, pulling out his gun as he sought cover behind a collective of garbage cans.
He peeked out and saw her kick a gun out of a man’s hand, the delicate shoe connecting with the soft flesh of his wrist and, without dropping, doubling back to kick him once in the chest, and once in the face. Her leg dropped to the ground and she dropped to her knees, sweeping the man cleanly with her foot,
He checked to see if there were any more of them, and once he was certain there were none, he put his gun back into his holster and walked toward her.
Well, that was an show. She smiled up at him, teeth shining almost as much as her shoes in the moonlight.
I know they’re impractical, but what girl doesn’t have fantasies of doing this, she stepped on the man’s chest, forcefully pushing the stiletto into his flesh as he groaned, at least once?
Plus, and her eyes did sparkle more than the moon at her feet, I just came from a concert and didn’t have time to change. Funny how he only noticed now how her nails were polished and her eyes were lined, so distracted was he by her shoes.

I would wear the Jeffrey Campbell KENT ‘Funky Cuffing Bootie with ribbed dark grey tights, black Chloe shorts, a ginormous oversized men’s cardigan from my favourite thrift store and a black lace vintage head piece.
I would wear this to go and see an outdoor production of ‘Hamlet’ at the Botanic Gardens in Sydney, followed by lunch on Jupiter with Johnny Depp, Picasso and James Dean. I would then go looking for appleberries in the woods with a small and fluffy dog called Toto, and then take a magical photograph that showed me blowing kisses and dancing around a paddock filled with wildflowers to send to Gala and Solestruck and think them for the best hoes in the universe!
PS I WILL PAY FOR POSTAGE TO AUSTRALIA! x
I would wear these Jeffrey Campbell boots with black high waisted skinny jeans, a ruffled cream blouse, and a cropped grey cardigan, to go out dancing at 60s night with my roommates. Afterward we could eat diner food early in the morning at the 24 hour place down the road and keep dancing to the jukebox.

I’d wear the Dolce Vita Mason moccasin boot on the Transiberian train from Moscow to Vladivostok with wooly tights, deep plums & reds, lots of layers & a matryoshka tattoo on my wrist. I’d wrap a flowery babushka scarf turban-like over my hair & chat up the conductor in approximative Russian to secure an extra blanket. At night I’d play cards & drink awful, awful vodka with two engineers on their way to Siberia & a Chinese girl going back home to Beijing via Mongolia. During the day I’d burn my tongue on cups of boiling black tea & read the complete works of Nabokov, curled up next to a large window & pausing from time to time to admire either the landscape or my fabulous, fabulous grey boots.

I would retrace my footsteps from summer ’08, from the cold scholarly Morningside heights (filled to the brim with educational eagerness) down into the underground where I’d see a rat or two scurry out beneath the nonchalant eyes of my fellow subway goers. I’d wear them while i’d watch the windows slowly creep up to reveal the orangy tints of the brooklyn rooftops while i sat in a yellow subway seat alongside sleepy travelers and maybe a friend or two. I would wear these while treading the summer streets of williamsberg, past the outdoor cafes and small galleries (always welcome to any casual teenager). My 35 mm camera out i’d take pictures of the busted fire hydrants in silvery pools illuminated in the late august sun. I’d PRIDE these sandals in the face of hipsters shopping at the Buffalo Exchange. I’d relive all that i loved about last summer in these sandals.

So it would be me and nine other girls, all wearing these boots in colors that matched our hair (mine would be pink, of of course). We’d all be dressed monochromatically in those eye-scorchingly bright colors. We’d march down the middle of the street, stop in perfect synchronization, stare down the surrounding people for a few seconds… and then break out in the dance number from the end of Napoleon Dynamite.
Night descends on Miss Primrose’s School for Extremely Delicate Young Ladies. All are asleep… or are they? One figure creeps through the hallways unnoticed. Many girls will wake up tomorrow to find their grandmothers’ beautiful vintage jewellery has disappeared.
“Not so fast, young lady!” I leap from behind a pillar. I am wearing a stretchy black catsuit, patent leather opera gloves and these shoes: www.solestruck.com/jeffrey Every woman worth her salt should be able to fight crime in high heels. The ex-pupil is startled – she drops the sack of valuables and tries to brush past me. Her stocking snag on the studs of my kick-ass heels, and she trips. Another delinquent apprehended. Miss Primrose’s is safe for another night.

Dearest Gala,
I would wear these darling rose print boots as I climb off the L Train from the airport and step onto the streets of Chicago, my new home. The dream life I’ve always wanted to live, coming true, with pink rose boots clinging to my ankles and a sequined silver dress billowing out in a flittery fashion. As I skip through the brightly lit December streets, I giggle with joy. CHICAGO.

The Jeffrey Campbell Flawless boots in black! Do you know I don’t own a single pair of boots? It’s horrible! I would wear these in Moscow in the middle of July, when it’s just warm enough to not wear pants. I would pair them with a tiny little hot pink mini skirt and a vintage black leather jacket. I would ride the metro to Red Square and walk around all afternoon, jumping into the backgrounds of tourists’ pictures. Later on they would look at their pictures and say, “Wow! Do you see that girl behind you? She is so fabulous! If only I’d seen her when I was there, she looks like she’d be the most fun person to know.”

I pick the Jeffrey Campbell Steppin Shoes! I would pair them up with black black tights, my peach-pink skirt which is AWESOME because it is just like a fluffy tutu, and a short-sleeved brown dress shirt with a large bow on the front. Then I’d curl and tease my hair like mad, pre-Raphaelite style and wear long glittery diamond earrings (this is fantasy, right?), and put a black wool cape with royal purple satin lining over my outfit.
And then it’s off on a night in the town with me! I would do all of my Christmas shopping, dressed just like that, and take a break to drink rich hot chocolate in the swankiest chocolate shop in the city!

I too have been lusting after these shoes with a burning passion! The shine! The sparkle! Purple is my all time favorite color and the silver just makes it 100 times better.
I’m pretty sure anything is possible with these eye catching beauties leading the way. I would fast forward to spring break where I am flying to Kentucky to see my amazing best friend. We’re going to photograph our favorite band together for our music webzine.
This band is known for letting fans come on stage for a wild dance party during their final song. With slim black lace tights drawing everyones eyes down past my skirt to the dance floor where my shoes would reflect the crazy concert lights, the concert goers might have trouble keeping their gaze on the band members and off my gorgeous feet treats… (Or so a girl can dream!):D
