The most comfortable shoes I own, my Chuck Taylors.
The newest and brightest pair of my collection.
These 3" heels are my everyday heels. They're so battered but I love them.
I was doing a little online window shopping when I spotted this gorgeous pair of purple suede shoes. It was love at first sight.
These shoes are 4" tall and they make me 5'6"! They're also very cute long lean slacks.
Every gal has to own a pair of a classic design, T-straps. This updated version is 3" tall and has brown suede and leather.
Ah, my running shoes. This is the third pair I bought since last May. Running shoes break down and die around 300 miles. Now you know why runners obsess over their shoes.
Whoo, I would dance in these 3" latin ballroom shoes for hours four to five days a week. Yep, this is the pair number four. The soles are soft and pliable and are meant for stretching, bending, and pointing and wear down quickly.
Flamenco shoes have nails in the heels and in the tip of the shoe to make that great loud stomping. There's so much I want to do and so little time for it all.
How crazy is this? I started ballet as an adult to supplement my ballroom dancing and discovered I loved ballet more than latin dancing. By the end of my second year I was taking point lessons. I no longer do point but I still love my points. In the meantime I'll stick my ballet slippers.There you go, a little glimpse of me and some of my passions. I hope you enjoyed it.

Oh, Gabby, I love your shoe collection and I see why picking the top 10 was so hard. I love the gold pair. I rarely wear anything with over a 2" heel anymore and that would be, like, once every 2-3years. Vanity is out (I'm old) and happy feet are in.
In my meditation group, my teacher was a ballerina in New York for many years dancing on point. Her feet are very biomechanically deformed. I am a massage therapist and find it interesting what these forces cause in the body. Fun post.
Wow ! Love all the pics and the commentary. Lovely first TT. But with all that running and dancing, how can you find time for a blog !!! :o)
I like your Steve Madden's and both pairs of dancing shoes. Toe shoes are one of those things that we still have in modern day that looks Renaissance.
love the Chucks! the most comfortable pair of shoes i own. my wife enjoys the ballet shoes after dancing 18 years, i would not say they are comfortable though.
Very cute post. My wife would love it, she loves shoes of all kids, as well. :)
Wow who knew there were so many shoes for so many occasions and activities? Imelda Marcos would be proud of you!
Cleaver
I'll have to vote for number five as my favorites!
Very interesting, I like the Steve Maddens.
Yes I like the Steve Maddens too- they look nice and flat!. I couldn't cope with those heels- but I am very impressed by your passion for dancing- this is something I always regret that I didn't learn :)
Oh, I want to go out dancing now! Welcome to Theme Thursday!
Ronda-Thanks! Feet should always be happy!
Ballerinas feet pay the ultimate price for sharing their beautiful and graceful strength with us.
Mariane-I always make time for the things I love.
Clever Pup-You can read the history of pointe shoes here: www.dancer.com/hist.php
Brian-They're not comfortable at all, but once you're on point there's a great rush of adrenaline that melts the pain away until you take off. Doh!
Wings-Show me a woman who doesn't love shoes. :)
Colette-There are shoes for everything and anything out there. Imelda Marcos would be proud of my kid brother who owns more pairs than I do! Sneakers in every color imaginable.
Holly-Thank you.
Willow-They are a great pair.
Dakota-Mmm, they are eye catching.
Cinnamon-It's never too late to learn how to dance! You don't have to wear heels either, wear dance sneakers! That's how I got started a couple of years ago. I couldn't walk in a pair of heels to save my life.
Megan-Thanks for the welcome!
Hi Gabby.Great Post.Thanks.Tony.
GREAT shoes; I love shoes, but I rarely if ever wear anything but flats these days. Steve Maddens would be my choice to wear, but I covet the heels . . .

Ten seems like a lot.
How wonderful! I LOVE SHOES. So it was great fun to take a peek in your shoe wardrobe. I also love heels, but don't wear anything over a kitten heel, although I own several pairs of 3-inchers.
You have some wonderful treasures there!
OMG,
You love shoes too?!
You and I could have been sisters!!!
I used to run in Asics. That was my fav running shoe.
I also have a shameful shoe collection.
Do you shop at DSW???
