Seeking Advice from Fellow Shoe-Whores

I like shoes. They make me happy. And of course, being Filipino, I am an easy target for the Imelda Marcos jokes (bring it on!)

Anywhoie... my current pair of "black-sporty-going-out-casual" shoes are falling apart from wear and tear(see below pic.)

Steve Madden. I think that I've had them for over 3 years now? -GASP- They look extra shiny-black because I put that liquid shoe polish stuff on them recently to cover up the embarrasing scuffs.

I think it may be time to retire them or dump them into a PlanetAid bin.

So, I thought that I would try something different and solicit my audience for input.

I've linked 5 different pairs of shoes below. Which do you like best?

Some questions to ask yourself as you evaluate:

1. Which of the following shoes do you find yourself most attracted to?
2. For those who are intimately familiar with my personality (and wardrobe), which pair can you see YodaBeesh wearing... say on P St. on the way to Halo for cocktails? Or to Sunday brunch at Lauriol Plaza? Or to a last-minute dinner/movie...?
3. Do any particular pairs make you say, "wow, those are some f**king cool shoes..."

Personally, I've had my eyes on the Tsubos for awhile... but the other day, my neighbor TLC mentioned the words "Pumas from ZAPPOS" to me. So, now I feel conflicted.

Please advise by posting your comment below.

1. Tsubo Sycorax Black
2. Tsubo Sycorax Black/White/Gray
3. PUMA Future Cat Lo P US
