Vamos a ver....
 
 I think I wore my Docs until about 28-29.  Of course I still wear Chuck's almost exclusively when not at work or exercising, so to each her own.

You had shoes that were 32 years old? Yikes.
 
 I still have a pair of Nike high tops and Timberland work boots from junior high and high school, respectively, making them about 27 and 24 years old. Never wear either of them though.

  i have a pair of basic black docs under my desk, but mary janes on my feet right now.
 
 although i did pitch my ratty burgundy steeltoe docs probably around 31-32 years old.

Stop putting your feet through that kind or torture and buy these.

  Okay, so I've been wearing Docs for 16 years.  In 16 years, I've gone through only 3 pairs of docs.  I've worn out my most recent pair (purchased only 3 years ago), and I'm looking for a replacement.  Now that I'm in my early 30s (ack), my girlfriends tease me for still wearing Docs - so junior high school, right?
 
 Anyway, before I say screw it and just buy another pair of Docs, I'm wondering whether there are any good substitutes out there that (1) are comfortable, (2) show appropriate (meaning if someone stomps on my foot or something, I won't lose a toe), (3) will give me at least a little bit of height and (4) are not hideous.  Oh and (5) don't make me look like Punky Brewster (meaning Chuck Taylors are totally out).  Suggestions???

Geez!  What is it this week with women asking questions like this (Walkonby's "Am I a Dork?" thread)?  Is everybody's menstrual cycle syncing up?
 
 Who CARES what your girlfriends think?  They're just jealous 'cuz they can't FIT in a size 6....pair of Docs.
 
 Don't give up the dream.  Keep wearing the shit-kickers.

if we blow up the moon, women's cycles would go away.

these are what i wear to most shows...except in navy blue. if i'm not in those, im in vans slip-ons or chucks.
 
 i also wouldn't be caught dead in any of the aforementioned shoe suggestions, but that's just me

 sometimes, they go on sale.  You used to be able to get them for super cheap (like 50 bucks), which is when I bought my lot.

IThat's ok. I wouldn't be caught dead in the company of someone with those things on.

I have huge feet.  Just thought I'd throw that out there.  Size 15.  I don't have THAT much trouble finding shoes but for example, there's a company called Oddball Shoes which specialize in big shoes.  Of the 117 shoes listed in their latest catalog, only 16 were wider than D.
 
 I'm like a male Peggy Hill.

Thanks grandpa! I'll make sure to wear these to every show from now on.

 hahah, no. when *i* was around 32. i use to probably have 4 different pairs of docs. now i'm down to one.

[MonkeyPants]

This is my favorite thread ever     I love the Lacoste flats, Miss P.
 
 Thanks so much for the ideas (and the entertainment).  Keep the suggestions coming if you've got em!

[930clubber]

btw, i realized quickly last night after the show began that steel toed boots is a very good idea, for men and women.

Don't you know that wearing white shoes after labor day is a fashion no-no?
