********************
This week's theme for the Photo Hunt, hosted by TNChick, is shoes and the only problem with this theme is that there is a guy who has an alter-ego named Kelly who does a song called "Shoes" that manages to get caught in my head every time I hear or say the word shoes. If you haven't seen it (and chances are real good if you don't watch Fuse or spend a lot of time fooling around on You Tube then you haven't) then you might want to check it out here but I warn you - it's strange and not for those easily offended!
I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do for this week's theme - my first thought was to throw everyone's shoes in a big pile and take a picture of them - but then I decided that I would just take a picture of what everyone had on their feet and go with that.
I've never been a big shoe fanatic so spend most of my time in sneakers when I'm not wearing my work boots so here you have my feet sporting their usual New Balance 601's -
Next up would be oldest daughter Amanda's Vans clad feet -
Last but not least are youngest daughter Jamie's flaming Chuck Taylor's -
Just looking at those shoes, I bet you'd be hard-pressed to tell that I had daughters and not two more boys! But they like their shoes which they say are comfortable and they're teenagers so what more could one expect??Happy shoe-hunting to everyone!
I love the Converse shoes!! great photos.
ReplyDeleteI used to have hot pink converse in grade school.
ReplyDeleteComfort over style, sounds like my kinda shoedabakers! =)
ReplyDeleteteens need to be able to wear what they like (within reason) and you are a great mom!!!
ReplyDeletesmiles, bee
my niece love those Chuck Taylor's, too. :)
ReplyDeleteas long as it's comfortable, there's no problem! ;))
happy hunting!
Ya never know what my teens will be wearing, though even in snow, my daughter will often be found in flip flops! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos...the converse is my favorite...they bring back memories from the school days. Have a wonderful weekend! Mine is up if your have time to visit.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI just love the shoes that kids wear these days. They are so funky.
Hi Linda!
ReplyDeleteI agree with jmb, the kids have a wide variety of shoes to choose from and many are so cool!
However fashionable the shoes get these days, I could not buy any because of my bunions. :(
variety is the spice of life! good to see that the kids create their own style.
ReplyDeleteThe Vans get better looking all the time, wish I could wear them.
ReplyDeleteMy kind of people I love the vans. so comfy I never tie my tennis shoes. It always slip in, slip out. I have never owed a pair of chucks in my life. But I love the wide vans and all the decorations they have on them now. Just love them Thanks for sharing your family of shoes. Too cool
ReplyDeleteThey look comfortable with it. Trust teenagers for original style and taste. :)
ReplyDeleteHooray! New Balance!
ReplyDeleteThese are great shots. When it comes to shoes, comfort is king!
I think your shoes look very comfy!
ReplyDeleteGood photos too!
happy weekend

Nothing wrong with your girls shoes, it's all in the hips when it comes to walking like a woman anyway lol
ReplyDeleteAs you saw my other half is a fan of Converse baseball boots. Me I like Vans! Great pics
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Neat take on the theme and hey we all wear what is most comfortable for us, no matter what they look like. Happy Hunting!!!
ReplyDeleteSamantha, Tigger and Mom
I live mostly in tennis shoes also. They are so much nicer to the feet than heels. Your girls have a great taste in shoes. Makes them stand out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog.
Oh, I love the last pair! Those flames are cute.
ReplyDeleteVery colourful. I've never been too fond of shoes myself.
ReplyDeletewhat neat pictures!!! and lovely shoes!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Amanda's :) Thanks for visiting my meme blog :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! :)
ReplyDeleteI am a Nike gal myself, but hubby wears New Balance. He loves the arch support.
Thanks for dropping by, Linda.
Love the Chuck's (you can see a pair on my post- mixed in with the others)
ReplyDeleteCute take on the theme.
Great shots for today!
ReplyDeleteComfort rocks....great shoes!
ReplyDeleteA timely reminder - should just have enough time to buy new sandals before we're off on our hols. Target here we come!
ReplyDeleteCheers
Great shoes. I'm takinhg note of the brand names of the daughter's shoes. I don't know what the cool shoes are and I want to make sure that my son is wearing a cool brand when he goes back to school.
ReplyDeleteAh shoes...another obsession of mine. Love the comfy shoes...my podiatrist would give you high marks for your choice of footwear.!!!
ReplyDeleteAll three look nice and comfy - my favs are the flaming Chuckies.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping in.
Have a fabulous weekend.

Love the shoes, Linda! I remember canvas Converse sneakers from my teen years. Now it's either sandals or boots. Looking for western-style boots that won't cinch my toes!
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing the shoe video before! I love your daughters and their individuality!
ReplyDeleteI am all for comfort too! Great pics!
ReplyDeleteyou can tell a lot about a person by their shoes... and from these pictures... i think jamie and i would get along well. :-)
ReplyDeleteUsed to have Vans when I was younger and I wore them till the pair almost gave out, :D Comfy these shoes are. DD1 asked for a pair of Converse a few weeks back.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
I must be following you from blog to blog as I have commented right after you on a ton of blogs! =)
ReplyDeleteI love how you chose to do this photo hunt!! Capture what everyone is wearing - very cool! In my house (hubby, baby and me) we're always barefoot!!
could have been more fun if you let us guess who matches whose shoes hahahahah
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your photos! Your girls are good sports about it! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy preference is for comfortable shoes too. And, in fact, my newest pair of footwear are a pair of New Balance sneakers (782s as opposed to your 601s)! :)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter would looove those bottom ones... Great collection - thanks for the visit!
ReplyDeleteI love the first shot. It looks so comfortable wearing those rubber shoes plus the ray of the sun added to the "drama". :D
ReplyDeleteThose shoes looks quite comfortable.
ReplyDeleteThey are all great and so comfortable. My favorite are the Chuck Taylor's.
ReplyDeleteComfort sounds good to me too! Great photos.
ReplyDeleteThem last shoos is hot! Hehehe!
ReplyDeleteyes, I was surprised to read your girls were wearing those shoes..lol..but then I had 3 sons. My photo is up, please come and visit
ReplyDeleteI love the Chuck T's! Great shoes and have been for years!
ReplyDeleteNice family of shoes!
ReplyDeleteHappy hunting :)
Great choices for the theme! Happy Saturday!
ReplyDeletethose are some sick chuck taylors! i must have a pair!
ReplyDeletei once wore a pair of orange chuck taylor high tops underneath a black and pink prom dress.
excellent pics!
thanks for visiting my first photo hunter post!
Cute shots!
ReplyDeleteI guess I have the teenage thing to "look forward to!" I kind of like the Chuck Taylors!
ReplyDeletepretty cool shoes! I love NB.
ReplyDeleteWell, personally, I would still wear Chuck Taylor high tops IF they would put some arch supports in them! And skate shoes are THE most comfortable shoes made! Sooooo... I really can't argue with either daughter!
ReplyDeleteThey definitely look comfy. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteMy kids wore Vans back in the '80's! I loved heels - the higher the better. That is to say, until I blew out my patella using a shovel! No more pretty girlie-girl shoes for me! I now have to wear "sensible" shoes, which bugs the livin' daylights out of me. Vanity, that's all it is! My chiropractor thinks it's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine a supermom in any other shoes :) (At least not during the daylight hours! ;) )
ReplyDeleteNice contrasts in styles!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by mine :)
Shoes should be comfortable, so I think all of those look just fine! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to show their personalities through their shoes.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to take pictures of my teenage boys' shoes they would be on the floor all over the house and not on their feet. That's where they keep their shoes, anyway. haha...
ReplyDeleteMy pictures are up.
On my return visits rather late - had a busy weekend. Thanks for stopping by to see my hunt.
ReplyDeleteYour girls - it's better with the ugly boyish shoes than the unhealthy, sharp-pointed high heels, don't you think? This way they might not be hit by corns - and the hidden lady will come out of there eventually, as much as it's appropriate for the person in question :D
