Well- cowboy boots really are only sensible for cowboys and cowgirls.
I only wear mine when I'm pretending to be a cowgirl. That's pretty sensible, I think.

I love cowboy boots!!!!!!! They are some of THE most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. It was a must when I lived in TX. And truth be told - I'd get some here in FL, but it's just too hot.

Appropriateness is the key, for sure.
I wear comfortable flats most of the week, but I like heels (not probably more than 2 inches) for church, concerts, and other nice occasions. I can feel the change in stance.
Kimberly, you didn't wear heels when you were driving, did you?

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned toe cleavage yet. I love to try to show a little. 
yes, pammy...i have actually done that! lol
the last day of our CDL training, our group of 4 students (2 men and 2 women) and 1 instructor all went for a 3 hr drive. we all took turns. well...the other woman and i had had the SAME idea that morning and both of us wore high heels (mine were 3-1/2" stillettos, of course). the men didn't think i could do it...but i did! and when i parked that big boy at the truck stop and got out to walk into the restaurant...a bunch of drivers that had been watching the student driver-plastered truck all started honkin their air horns. it was a riot!!!! (i curtsied and waved, of course  )
Weird Al sings a song called "Driving a Truck" where its this really deep manly voice singing about driving his semi while wearing high heels. Pam, you now have that song stuck in my head every time I look at this thread. I hope you're satisfied. 
Ohmigosh! I was thinking the exact same thing! It doesn't help that the Things were wearing my shoes the other day being silly (and Thing 1 was happy that we're in the same size shoe now!) and Thing 2 was singing, "Drivin' a truck...with my high heels on..." *giggle*

Does anyone else like Skechers? I think they make a sensible shoe. Most styles are too casual for a job interview, but probably not a date. Hmm... depends on the date maybe.

It just cracks me up that we're still talking about shoes. 
What cracks me up is that there are men here talking about shoes.

i have a pair of skechers. after they were about a year old, they became my driving shoes. they just slip on and are soooo comfortable! (i don't think they're worth paying full-price for, tho!)

I've heard it said that when you go for a job interview you should be sure your shoes look good. Prospective employers look at your shoes. Getting that job may boil down to whether or not you wore the right shoes. Do you think the same thing applies (no pun intended) for dating?
Men, do you prefer women in sensible shoes?
Women, do you even look at what the man has on his feet?
Ok, I have seen this thread around for at least a few days now and finally decided to click on it, and happy that I did! Anyway, what kind of shoes make an impression? High Heels and ballet flats and pumps, positive impression for a date. Crocs, sneakers, etc, bad impression for a date instead.

Yep, I find skechers to be among some of the most comfortable shoes made. But I agree, I wouldn't pay full price either... but then just about the only things I do pay full-price for are gas and food.

I agree with Mike, I am not a fan of Crocs. And I hear they get caught in escalators too!

Making a mental note not to wear crocs near escalators. Oh wait, I don't even wear crocs. Nevermind. I'm safe.
Speaking of sneakers, does anyone know why we call them sneakers? Where did that originate?

Sneakers were named by an advertising guy who said the shoes would make you more stealthy and sneaky when playing.

Wouldn't the most sensible shoes be able to smell or touch? taste or see? How about a pair of shoes that can hear?

Shema, I used to have a pair of shoes that had pockets on them so you could save money in them. Saving money is pretty sensible too, isn't it!?
