ok, ladies, tell me about your shoes!

[kamikat]

This may sound like a very superficial question, but...What shoes do you wear to DL? I have discovered that all my "Sunday best" shoes are very uncomfortable, either with a high heel or a pointy toe. This Sunday, I ended up in my clogs, as these were the most comfortable shoes I own, beside jogging shoes. I see many women at my church in high heels, but I just can't do it. I've seen the older ladies in "sensible shoes";) but they are quite ugly. I've even seen some of the older ladies in black running shoes. Will I get used to standing for two hours in high heels? Should I just be on the look out for nice flats? What do you wear?

kamikat

[Akathist]

I saw your post and started laughing because I have the worse shoes! One of my friends commented to me that there are women who chose to wear shoes ... because they look good!

UGH!

I wear the most comfortable shoes I can find... generally old lady "sensible shoes" type things.

However, there are women in my parish who wear very nice dressy shoes to church ... not too high a heal... but fashionable.

Ah ha! I have several pairs of Birkenstocks. Now I know that I won't be laughed out of the church when I wear them next weekend.:D

[ByzantineDixie]

I am "all Birkenstock all the time" kinda gal. Of course it's a bit easier to do this living in the South where we have sandal weather 9 months out of the year and there are some quite feminine and attractive Birkenstock sandal styles. But I have dress closed toe Birks, too.

I pretty much gave up tall heels after our first (who is 22 years old today!) was born.

Comfortable feet free the mind for worship! ;)

[Oblio]

Was it heels and pointy toes in 18th c Russia ?

[Khaleas]

As soon as the weather is warm enough, it's Birkenstocks all the way.
If you wear any heels, make sure they are of the 'thicker' variety. I wear heels sometimes 1-1.5 inch high but the 1-1.5 inch wide too. Aerosoles and such. When we have services at the chapel (it's a lot colder than church and has stone floor) I wear my trusty old UGG boots. Most of the time though I wear almost floor length skirts (esp in the winter) so no one really knows what kind of shoes I wear. On Theophany I wore hiking boots since we were blessing a stream a little hike from the chapel.

Not sure about Russia, but it was high heels and point toes in England and America. Husband and I used to do American Revolutionary War reenactment. The link below are the shoes I used to wear for my portrayal as a camp follower. The officers' wives wore higher heels and pointier toed shoes.

Those shoes look very similar to the ones that men used to wear.
Men used to wear shoes like that to show off their calves in the tights and would oftenly pad them to make them look bigger^_^


I like the "Greatcoat" shown below.
I love military fashion, it is so over the top and fun.

Comfy shoes are an absolute must for Divine Liturgy, especially for Paschal Divine Liturgy! And for Forgiveness Sunday? Forget about it! (In my best mobster accent!)

I used to wear high heels. Now I go for comfort. Closed toe sandals (flat) for summer and short boots or flat dress shoes in winter. As you can see, my character doesn' have shoes yet. I will probably get something when I have more blessings!

When I used to wear heels to church, upon coming home and first thing through the door - the shoes would go sailing through the air as I kicked them off. It's been a long time since wearing heels... flats or comfy shoes only for me now. :P

I have cute flats, but I also have good quality heels with proper support. When heels have the kind of support you need (like in ballroom dancing heels) they are comfy to stand in for long times. I also take my shoes off whether they;re flats or heels, sometimes, but that's kosher in my church.

[Annabel Lee]

Boots or sandals. Always flat except if I'm going to a wedding then I break down and wear comfortable one inch heels...but my feet are not happy!

I have a rule. If I can't run from danger in my shoes, I shouldn't be wearing them.
I mean the boogy man can creep up anytime and am basically helpless in my toe-cramped three inch heals.

Well, I suppose I can take one shoe off and beat him over the head with it.

[Prawnik]

Around here, heels are pretty much mandatory for anyone female and under 35.

I think this might, like, be the law or something.

[Birgitta]

I wear the most comfortable shoes I can find...
That's wise. :) I wear the most comfortable shoes I have, too. It is important to wear properly - it would be frustrating to concentrate on the uncomfortable shoes rather than the DL...

[ufonium2]

Boots with chunky heels in the winter, sandals with chunky heels in the summer. Yay for whoever invented the chunky heel.

[Greg the byzantine]

Word on the street is, Hushpuppies have these shoes out that are extremely light and comfortable (I used to have the Men's loafer version, but they make a females flat too). Rockports also, well they rock, I found a really nice pair at famous footwear for $75, They have this comfort support system built in that's great when standing around ie. in church. And they are water proof :thumbsup:

In my job shoes with good support and comfort is an absolute requirement. Rockports are good, as are Columbia's, Doc Martens, Streetcars (they have this amazing gel sole), etc.

[EvangeliGirl]

I wear stylish flats for DL, but I often have to bring my snow boots to change in and out of which is a pain. I have short, wide feet and have never found a pair of heels that fit properly. (Though I do have these really hot heels from BCBG that are shiny and wine-colored with the pointy toes... I find them worth the torture on occasion.)

I know what you're talking about :D ... Although it gets to be ridiculous when it's -25 C and the Russian ladies visiting Helsinki are literally shivering when they walk and their shoes can barely keep them standing up because of the slippery side walks. Anything for style (but it doesn't hurt to engage brain now and again). In the end they are always stylish no matter what.
It did get a bit annoying at the monastery when there was some Russian visitors with heels. A flock of clicking heels on granite floors just totally messed with my concentration during services.

I found a pair of nice looking ankle winter shoes from a Finnish designer (on sale) and they fit literally like a 'glove' on my feet. They look very nice, are warm and comfortable to stand in. And I should have bought a black pair too... :doh:

[Mary of Bethany]

I wear low-heeled shoes or boots. I have it a little bit easier as our choir area is actually to the side of the altar on the extended raised area and is carpeted. The nave is hardwood right on top of concrete, and I don't know how anybody in high heels could stand for 2 hours on that!

Mary

[elizabethevangeline]

I haven't worn heels since my first son was born, and before that they were only 1 inch!

I wear Josef Seibel loafers...they're great for standing. I see a lot of Dansko, etc. I think I have a pair of decent flat sandals for summer, but it's been so long since I've looked for them, I can't be sure...:)

But then there are a few ladies in the most incredible high heels! I try not to stare in fascination.

[Khaleas]

My husband commented this when he had come to church the first time. I asked if it was tough for him to stand for so long... he said: No problem, I don't have to stand at attention.
Turns out they had had a change of command the Friday before and he had stood at attention for like three hours. In uncomfortable shoes... ;)

I see many ladies in my parish wearing high heels as well during DL. I myself wear heels during DL. Knee length Stilletoe boots is what i wear. They used to hurt me in the beginning, but now i've gotten used to them.

If this makes you feel any better, they're are some women in my Parish, that can't stand wearing their shoes while standing during DL. Do you know what they do? They take off their shoes and stand, lols.

We have a college student from Ethiopia and he won't wear shoes in the Nave at all, even in the winter.

I am in MIchigan and I don't like people wearing shoes in my home. I take my own shoes off. I don't ask most visitors to do this but it is how I prefer it.

Yeah, we should! Stick with tradition.

However, if i were to take my stilletoes off, i wouldn't be able to see the Altar, i'm a shortie. The Russian's in my Church are really tall. You should see me when i'm recieving communion, i'm practically on my tipie toes to reach the spoon. (That's if i'm not wearing my stilletoes).. lols.

[Akathist]

Tsarina,

I have to wear sunglasses when I use the computer during a migraine. I hope you are not in that kind of pain.

To be baptised I had to be barefoot for that service. I was so self conscious of how my feet would look that I had my very first professional pedicure!
What a great thing! I have been getting them every few months every since when I have the money.

You men don't know what you are missing! Such a luxurious experience! It is so great having such soft feet afterwards!

Maybe we could all take our slippers to church. When we were there for the all night vigil last year on Holy Friday, most of us changed into sweat suits and slippers at 11 pm. It made the all night event much easier. (Of course we did sit when we were not doing the actual readings too, but it was such a long long long night.)

[theoforos]

No, thornygrace, that's not the reason why i'm wearing my sunglasses. I was wearing them because i had the lights off and the pc was illuminating too much light, and that was hurting my eyes. I was too lazy to get up and open the light, lols. However, i'm sorry that you get such pains. :hug:

Yey! So you have experienced the wonders of Pedicures. Guys, it doesn't have to be a 'homosexual' or 'girly' thing. There are many great health benifets. :thumbsup:

I'm so hooked on pedicures, you'll never find me without soft exfoliated feet and pretty toenail poilish. Right now, i'm wearing light pink with pearl.

There was an article recently in which researchers found that nail polish negatively affects a women's eggs so that even years later, a boy could be formed with deformed private parts.

For some reason boys are seriously affected by nail polish when their moms have worn it even years before they were born. It appears to accumulate in the woman's body.

Perhaps that is one reason why guys have a declining fertility rate?

Anyway, nail polish is not natural.

Olive oil makes nails shine. :D

It's formaldehyde in nail polish that makes it unhealthy. There are several kinds of nail polishes that do not contain formaldehyde. Apparently some people retain more formaldehyde than others, and fortunately a lot of it does evaporate when you put it on... however, keep your area well ventilated. My nail lady just had a very healthy baby boy and she has definitely been around plenty of polish the past few years.

[EvangeliGirl]

I used to work in an upscale spa, nail, and hair salon (can you believe I didnt even know what a pedicure was until then? I learned ALL ABOUT being a girl... lol). The more 'natural' polishes dont work as well so you have to keep up with a lot more touch ups. I should do my toes before it gets any harder to bend over with this growing belly! Anyways, I had to get out of the salon because all the chemicals were causing me problems, even though the front desk where I worked was seperate from the other areas. Headaches, swollen glands, rashes, lethargy... it got pretty nasty. Too bad since I made decent money... The products that bothered me the most were Aveda, which are supposed to be more natural (though really strong fragrance). As far as my nails go now, I cant keep them short enough!

And you guys talking about your nasty feet issues is as disturbing to me as it was to you when us women were talking about pregnancy breast issues... lol.

Aveda is the WORST! I used to work in an Aveda salon. My hands developed horrible excema and I was always congested. I even tried washing hair while wearing gloves. Unfortunately, it was still in the hair and there was no way I could cut hair while wearing gloves. I had to leave after only 6 months, which is really hard on a stylist because every time you change salons, you lose clients.

Do you know if the sizes run on number or if they go large or small? I'm between a 7-8 here and in Europe everything between a 36-40 depending on the brand. I have a pair of wood clogs from Sweden and I'm pretty sure it's a 38. But if you have an idea, let me know.

I find that they are sized similarly to Birkenstocks--if that helps at all. But I am only familiar with the Bra Sko shoes...have never ordered the Dala's. If you call them up you should be able to get a better assessment...the lady at the store is very helpful.
