Shoes

What I look for in womens/high heel shoes:

• practicality and wearability!! Stilleto, no grip, is the sole rubber? Will I slip? lets be serious here.. can I wear these on a drunk night out? i prefer something to hug my feet and ankles if my foot is to be put in this uncomfortable position
• wedged heels
• leather (synthetics are so bad)
• solid heels because I drag my feet
• padding
• easy to put on, cant be fucked with buckles
• something really fucking interesting like Tony Bianco 'Frankie'
• shape emphasized
• makes me taller and foot narrower

all for one offs, wear it once, dont mind the style being fully out there and hey look at me!

What I look for in sneakers mens/womens:

• chunky/bulky/heavy looking
• neutral colours (cream, browns, black, white), warm dull colours (khaki, swamp green, marrone) and at the moment, flouro colours IF done subtly (e.g. highlight purple with black/white) 
• thick laces
• soles with grip and interesting patterns which add grip 
• functional and practical (fat tongues are border line, not so practical but oh so cool, yellow suede/fluff shoes not practical and will get dirty)
• if shoe can withstand my wear because I'm not a princess so my shoes will get dirty. I refuse to clean my shoes every time they get dirty (i used to, i dont want to anymore unless theyre worth a shit load of money of course). Sneakers are active shoes, if they are branded and leather or well made they will be fine. 
• if they will look better once ive broken and worn them in
• designs that dont stand out too much or command attention, shoes need to flow with outfit not take over
• similar colour tones working together
• the 'gangsta' aspect 
• slip ons.. cant be fucked with doing laces up all the time
• brand name not in full attention

need to get value to money for them. need to keep them for the long run/not get sick of them. need to be subtle.
