$600 Shoes

[red]

yeah that's freaking nuts. 600 bucks for something she won't wear every day

its not like there is a giant logo on the side that would give away the knockoffs as a knockoff. i comes down to ego i think, knowing she's wearing 600 dollar shoes and telling her friends about them.

although if she's as hot as you say then you might want to let her buy the shoes so she does get pissed and bolt out the door on you

She'll get the shoes eventually. She's had her eye on them, and she might actually wear them everyday. She'll probably just buy them herself. She knows that I can't get them for her now, at least not as a surprise because she'd always be skeptical that I bought her the knockoffs. The only way she could know for sure that she got the real ones is to buy them in person in Chicago.

I am coveting a Matthews jersey this year but don't have hope of finding one out here.

There is this thing called the internet.... Im looking to pick up a Woodson one for my wife, but since she is also a UofM fan, i was thinking picking a Michigan Woodson one instead.

and yes, $600 for shoes is crazy, unless they are for work use (such as my college roommate's annual purchase of boots to hike to put out forest fires) Thank god my wife was happy with the 40" LCD we bought this weekend to enhance football season!!!

Unless PR is starting another forum revolving around Packer clothes and instead of a posters game we start a yearly trip to tent sale, she won't have any interest in joining. She pretty much hates all the time I spend on here.

Sort of a Packer version of chick flics...What would we call it? The Pack for chicks? Only problem is, most of the chicks here don't strike me as that kind of chick.

I'd understand if they were thigh high leather boots, but not just a pair of high heels.

One thought about your lady and the $600 shoes -

Sometimes the ladies will attempt to get you to do "something" to make them feel like you really "love" them. Or to gauge how much you "value" them and your relationship. It's sort of an ego-power play.

IF this is the case - then a possible way out of spending the $600 is for you to simply devise a creative way of showing her how much she is worth/loved to you that hits her in the heart instead of hitting you in your wallet. Use your knowledge of her personal favorite things and tailor your "showing" around them. She'll feel extra special and loved because you were thoughtful and obviously listen to her. You'll feel awesome because you saved $600.

I think I know what you are getting at. You want me to shave my pubes in the shape of a heart and dye them bright red. We'll give it a go.

No this is more about shoes than love.

let her get the shoes. Then you get this :

If you play it right, like i did, she will actually be as enthusiastic as you are:

why settle for the base model? no towing package? must be a city truck.

I told her that she's the same age as Tramon Williams but that didn't seem to cheer her up as much as I thought it would..

Ok that seriously made me LOL

I feel your pain though... my girl is pretty low maintenance but every now and then surprises me with some "crazy" thing she wants. We went picking out some sunglasses for her birthday (without looking at prices) and the ones she wanted turned out to be $480 Tiffany's. Can't imagine buying something like that for myself, but I am kind of a sneaker freak and spend a lot of money golfing so I guess she felt OK going with those

she hates it and wants me to buy her one of those stupid two door toyota truck things

Its an FX4, base model would not have a painted bumper. FX4 admonishes chrome in favor a more rugged look. 20" Tires, max towing package, 5.4 v8. BTW, I love the new 6 speed transmission in the 2010. Would have loved to get the 6.5 foot bed, but the garage was not quite long enough to accommodate. Added a spray in bedliner right away.

I was married for 4 years and was with my ex for a total of 9...bought so many Coach Purses they sent cards on my birthday. Purses they use everyday and give you capital to purchase what you want or go on a guys weekend. $600 shoes are something that she wears three times and then decides they look good in the closet. F THAT

No way. Let her buy those shoes if she wants them.

[pbmax]

Its impossible to make sense of some people's preferences, and in a relationship its probably dangerous as well for personal items. The $600 version might be better made, or it might all be for the label. I can buy a pair of Men's shoes for $25 bucks and I'll be buying another $25 pair in 3 months if I wear them regularly. Or I could spend $125 on a much better pair, get them resoled for $35 every 6 months and keep them for years.

But in the end, none of that is important if those shoes are important to her. The only two legitimate questions are: "Does it fit the budget?" And "Is this some kind of crazy test that I will be repeating to prove she is still attractive enough every passing year?"

And really, who cares about the second question if the answer to the first question is yes? Its only when the first question is a no that trouble must be navigated.

Re: $600 Shoes

My lady wants to spend my money on a $600 pair of shoes. She's had her eye on them for years so at least its not impulse. That's pretty wild but here's what I want your opinion on the next part.

I managed to find knockoffs of the same shoes for $100. I showed them to her and she was completely turned off because "they're not real." She equated buying those shoes to buying cubic zirconia jewelry. I guess I felt like it was more like buying a synthetic diamond... if synthetic diamonds were cheap.

She's a psycho right?

Run for your life. Don't think. Run.
