This is an easy one. My Kork Ease Buffalo Platform Skyhigh Wedge Sandals I had when I was a junior in high school. I still buy this brand and love them. I also loved my bright yellow patton leather sling back flats that my sister Julie and I got for Easter when we were 8 and 10. The little sisters got white patton leathers. They would get black skuff marks on them which we would rub off with Vaseline.😂 When we were kids we got one pair of “regular shoes” and one pair of gym shoes each school year. I love shoes and now have way too many..

I love my shoes I wore to my college graduation. They are pink mule heels and I feel like Barbie when I wear them!

Love this question. I’m a shoe whore. I love shoes, any kind of shoes, I have lots of shoes & boots. Tons. Embarrassing number of shoes in 3 different closets & now a so called bench with the insides full of shoes. Anyway, when I was off to college I went to Chicago to shop for some new clothes. I went on the train & arrived downtown Chicago to shop til I drop. I ended up getting 3 pairs of high heels. My favorites were dark green(olive) suede pumps. Where in the world would I need high heels in a big college campus? Well, I pledged Kappa Delta & our colors were olive & white. I proudly wore those pumps to many functions & always was asked about these shoes?

Ooh fun! I would say my most worn shoes are my Hokas but they aren't my favorite. I love a good casual sneaker, probably my platform Converse or colorful New Balances. I don't have many reasons to wear heels these days but I do LOVE how I feel in a cute little pump or wedge :)

My Hokas are my most worn too! My old orange pair have zero tread. Now they're my garden shoes!

Congrats on getting your point shoes Lisa! As a former ‘dance mama’ I know how hard it is to earn those. Well done! My favorite shoes ever were a pair of brown soft leather Doc Martins that felt like they were a part of me. I guess they were because we had fabulous adventures together, and the dirt in those soles tell an amazing story. After kids, my feet weren’t the same size and I got to pass them down to another amazing adventurer - I hope they get to visit a few more places before they retire. My favorite now is my new red Doc Martins. Oh the adventures we will have.

Congrats - Lol - it was a long, long time ago. I recently found an old pair of pointe shoes and attempted a relevé. I could still do it but David was worried I'd break my ankle. Haha.

Red Doc Martens sound pretty sassy and cute!
