Horrible, I know.
I had a picture in my mind that we won't go into. Except to say that I pictured Aerosoles looking like a tacky version of a black tennis shoe I once wore. Key word there: once.
So, I come today in full repentance and humble apology. Because Aerosoles have gone stylish y'all. They got game, as my boys might say.
May I present you with a delight to both my toes and my fashion desire...
I found mine on sale at the Steinmart. And then Holly ran right out and found her some too. I love that. It assures me that my fashion sense has not failed me.
Here is the official description: A tailored mule with a striking square toe and ornamental gunmetal buckle. Ultra soft sueded lining and extra cushioned footbed on a 2½" heel and flexible rubber sole.
Here is my description: Whether you are wearing jeans or pants, these shoes will help you on "those" mornings. You know the ones where you are about to rip your hair out and a few strands of any people standing too close to you? Yes, those mornings. These shoes require no thought... no consideration. They are hip, stylish, and comfortable. They will soon be your foot's BFF.
If you don't have a Steinmart, I found them on sale at this website.
And really, I think I might have missed my calling.
I should totally help Aerosoles write the descriptions for their shoes. So, if you work for Aerosoles or you are like the owner of said company, have your people call my people. I heart your shoes. The end.
(Note to writing friends... I will post more numbers tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. I spent too much time flitting around in my new aerosoles yesterday to get all organized. The end. Again.)

First today -- WOW! AND, I'm wearing my uber-stylish Aerosoles boots as I head off to lead my Bible study group. I love these boots. I could wear them every day they are so comfy. I paid a little more than I normally would, but they have been worth every penny.
Have a great day, Lysa!
See y'all! I just met Shelly W in Chicago where I was speaking a few weeks ago.
She is from a big, fancy city and she totally wears Aerosoles too!
It's a movement by women everywhere, tired of having sore toes.
Thanks Shelly!!!
They are super cute. They are also very you (granted I have laid eye's on you in person, oh, about four times. :-)
... tomorrow, huh?
You know not the power you wield, do you my dear?
Did you hear the sigh? You will hear it all day... Click, speed read,"cute shoes!" sigh; click, read, "cute!" sigh...
You owe us nothing, but daily give us bushels of fruit anyway, and we can just be patient already!
Can I just say...we have an Aerosole OUTLET 'round these parts! And we even have a Steinmart (right near Trader Joe's...where I often go to bring "food from afar"!).
Love the shoes! Will have to get me some of them to go along with my "Lysa Denim Duster"!
As the saying goes, "If the shoe fits, buy it!"
Enjoy your happy feet! Oh, and great descriptive writing!
Oh dear Anonymous...
I am so sorry. This happens sometimes... I get distracted by all things girly... like shoes and Denim Duster jackets and kid issues and m&m's and banana pudding and apple cobbler and apple fritters... and I get all discombobulated.
And I have no idea how to spell that word.
So, I send you my most sincere apologies across the internet webs. And tomorrow I will do my best to post those much deserved numbers.
Smiles!
I just knew you would think that! I used to think so too! But our mall has an Aerosoles store, and every time I walk by I am surprised at the cuteness. :)
Glad you got some comfy, stylin' shoes.
Lysa,
Wow--THOSE are a GREAT pair of shoes!!!
I have to admit that I was with you on the "aerosoles" thing. All I could vision was my elderly Grandmother with the boxy but sturdy shoe and the cankle falling over the side--yuck! But those mules are awesome!
I don't enjoy shopping but I may just have to make a trip.
blessings to you Miss Disombobulated!
Kim
Ha ha!
I never read or comment about fashion-oriented posts, but yours caught my eye. I HAVE to get a pair of these shoes!
(Sharon Sloan...where is there an Aerosole outlet "around these parts?")
I wish your tootsies a comfy (and stylish) day.
Hello Lysa and fellow shoe lovers
Who would have guessed that those are aerosoles? They are too cute. Does anyone know if they run narrow? I don't have a Steinmart but I do love to shop on the internet! My husband would rather I not due to shipping charges especially those to return things that don't fit. But then I wouldn't get to chat with the UPS man. He is so nice and he likes my goats unless they are trying to get into his truck. Well its raining and the dog has to go out. She hates rain so we have to follow her around with an umbrella.
Have a happy day!
Very cute, I am going today to buy some. I have been looking for something just like that. Thank you and have a shoe-tastic day!
I heart shoes!!! But I heart you even more, Lysa. :)
You and I are officially Sisters in Distraction (and in shoes!). If it's girly, frilly, cute, or even promises to be cute, I'm all over it. So I totally understand! Can't wait to see what blogs you pick, though, because I've selfishly added sooo many more to my "following" list from your choices that it's a little bit embarrassing. (((blush)))

Wow! I love those shoes. I've been needing a new pair of closed toe shoes. Now that the cold is here to stay my precious flip flops and cute sandals are being relegated to the farthest reaches of the back of my closet never to see the light of day until it hits the mid 70s again!!! Sigh. Oh well, at least I can have my eye out for these guys!
Lysa,
If you haven't yet, visit Big Mama's blog and her last Fashion Friday post.
She responded to an email I sent her which just happened to have you in mind as well. See her #3. She has some pics of shoes from Nordstrom as well as some Naturalizers. I was pleasantly surprised. Now....many of them are pricey. I'm still seriously trying to talk my husband into the "need" for me to have a pair of those boots.
If Payless boots (how sad) can last me several years, I'm certain I could get at least half a decade out of these beauties Big Mama directed me to. ;0
I will certainly have to check out the Steinmart in Baton Rouge for these you have here.

Amazing shoes! After browsing their on-line catalogue, I discovered that the Canadian retail store that sells them is "SoftMoc". We actually have a distributor in the Mall very close by...YIPEE!!
Does anyone remember the line of "Tender Tooties for Tired Footsies" that used to be available (maybe still are)? They were comfortable, but oh my goodness, they lacked something in style back when I was a teenager and my mother insisted on purchasing "sensible" shoes - needless to say, my feet were comfy, but often the object of ridicule!
I'm speaking next Tuesday morning at a ladies event. Thinking I must be in fashion...and if 'Chicago Shelly' and Holly are sporting them along with you...well, what more confirmation do I need? Any word on the what the Fashion Expert Shari had to say about them?
Hope you have a great day! Don't be too distracted by your wonderful new shoes...haha!
Blessings,
Joy
Ok, not to completely change the mood of our fun flittering shopping experience from Steinmart to Good will, BUT I scored three brand new pair of Aerosoles...2 ubercute ones from Goodwill, and one boastfully beautiful pair of BLACK BOOTS from a yard sale. Yep, this lady was a shoe a-holic and she started carrying out arm loads of shoes (many in their boxes)from her gazillion dollar house. No pride lost here. I simply "helped" declutter her house and clutter mine (do you think I left with only that one pair? Don't think so). It was the least I could do. My cost for the accumulated clutter: $2/pair. Googled the boots....$160 - YEP! SCORE!
You know that it was a good find when your 17, and 18 year old niece's eyes lit up with delight, and exclaimed how stylish I was.
So when I post this on my blog, do you mind if I copy/paste and give your new calling an outlet? Your description would be so much better than mine. :)
Too funny! You go girl :)
If I worked for Aerosoles or were like the owner of the said company, I would definitely have my people call your people. Totally heart your blog. The End :)
:)
I heart your new shoes, too! :)
Have a great day...you and your stylishly happy feet!
Oh, to even be able to see my feet! With less than 2 months left before the arrival of baby girl #2, the thought of anything less than comfy makes me cry, but your "find" is amazing!
Congratulations on the shoe break through. When I can find my feet again, I'll look into these beauties!
Those are cute! (And not just "cute for Aerosoles!) Those are the kinds of mules I was thinking when I made my shoe suggestion. I live in some version of those most of the winter. On warmer days you can go sockless (and still hide a pedi that's going bad) and on cold days you can wear socks or tights without committing that "no hose with open shoes" faux pas. Yes, you CAN be stylish AND comfortable!
Glad you found ya some shoes..they are cute, but still look painful for bunions!
Those are some great-looking shoes, Lysa! I'm not usually a shoe-hound, but I am experiencing some shoe-envy here. I love them!
Those are really cute--and wouldn't you know, I'm in desperate need of some shoes for Fall! :-) Still trying to wean myself out of my flip-flops. It's sunny (but COLD) here in Oregon still.
Lysa, I LOVE your style of writing. Thanks for keeping us both entertained and encouraged every day.
Praying that the decision you made about your daughter this week is going over well and that there is peace in your house.
KelliGirl: Oh my! I just called the Aerosole Outlet at Penn's Purchase in Peddler's Village and they just closed the store two days ago! Oh my!
She said the closest outlet is in Pottstown now: 610/323-1678. I just called Pottstown and they do have the "Cinch Worm" in stock for $49.99. May be easier just to order on-line as the gas price may be more than shipping!
Happy Shopping!
Your next-town-over neighbor,
Sharon :)
My favorite pair of brown knee high boots are aerosoles.....love, love, love them -----they are not the aerosoles of the past, but the aerosoles that are changing the shape of womens crooked toes everywhere! Praise the Lord for them!

Awesome, awesome shoes!!! I want them. I was just talking with my husband this weekend about my need to get some new winter shoes. Of course he suggested brown shoe poish for my favorite ones-so kind. Thanks for sharing. I so prefer to buy on-line.

O.K., just got back and had to laugh over your comment, Lysa. I am NOT that stylish, really. (Although I would love to have you come visit my big, fancy city--specifically the one where I live--sometime! We could hang out!)
Anyway, I tried to find my specific boots, but they are on their third year and not on the website, BUT, for all you ladies who are looking for some cute boots, I found these: http://www.aerosoles.com/product1.asp?P=RIDELINE. (They have a similar shape and heel as the ones I have.) AND (here's the best part) they are on sale! In fact, everything on the Aerosoles website is on sale.
Lysa, I think you've started a trend. ;)
I'm so happy that you and your feet are happy now! :)
Oh girls... you crack me up.
And Shelly W... I am totally getting my friend and fashion guru, Shari Braendel, to come read your comment.
Me? A trendsetter? Shari will die laughing.
those are sooooo cool.
Lysa - as someone who suggested aerosoles to you - I accept your apology. At least you have taken my suggestion on something...(wink).
I LOVE my aerosoles. I have 2 pairs of boots by them, and a couple of shoes.
Waiting patiently for your numbers postings...okay I'm not waiting PATIENTLY but even as a tap my foot in anticipation, its comfy in its aerosole. :D
To Lysa's readers: She really did come and get me to see if I would die laughing...and no, I'm not laughing, I'm actually quite impressed with your pick of shoes Lysa! But let's not go crazy now, you hear me???? LOL!
Lysa,
I've been stashing away money for months to reward myself in three and a half weeks with a BIG shopping trip (the reward for reaching a fitness goal!!!). I will need shoes to go with all my new cute SMALLER clothes, so I will definitely check them out.
I, like you, was a little skeptical when some were suggesting certain brands. I had flashbacks of when I worked for a catering company and had to wear pink (yes pink) polyester uniforms and white nurses' shoes. (I know it's completely acceptable for nurses to now wear crocs and tennis shoes, but that was not the case in 1984.)
Anyhoo, I do have a shoe question...when you are wearing cute cloggy heals like that, what kind of hosery do you wear, if any? I'm not a sock and clog kind of girl, but I hate the feel of going sockless.
Sincerely,

You really did great! These are so cute and will go with your Denim Jacket. :)
Lysa, the site has a link about having a shoe party-- and you get a free pair for doing so. You should totally do that and then we could all come!

I have two pair of Aerosoles that I LOVE! They are stylish and comfy! A perfect combination.
Found the brown suede ones...love them and a 20% off two itmes internet coupon from Steinmart. Earrings made up the 2nd item.
Thanks for the suggestion!

If you're pinching penny's like me, you can find the knockoff brand of this shoe at Target! Get this, it's called the "Micah" shoe! of course I had to have them. Fashion is all about the shoe--especially when they are named after you!
hugs,
Micca
